The crowd at Antone's saw a great show by four of Austin's most exciting artists at TRCoA's Unsigned Artist Competition 2008. Dawn Over Zero, Grenadier, Ashmore, and Squint all played great sets making the final voting a difficult decision. Once the judges ballots were counted, Dawn Over Zero won the competition and the prize of a 10 song CD produced, recorded, mixed and mastered at Stinson Recording Studios. Thanks to all the bands and fans who participated in this event to make it a huge success. See you at next year's competition, we are looking forward to it.
