Performance: The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
One person wins and everyone else loses in the competitive world of a spelling bee, and even though these kids have been told by their parents that just being there is winning, each of them knows that just isn't true. So how far should each of these elementary students go to win? Not recommended for young children.
Drop City Yacht Club (Hip-Hop/Alternative)
Writing and producing all of their own music, Drop City Yacht Club tows the line between clever hip hop, sly pop, and a spash of sun-soaked '60s rock. The group cruises down its own lane with a wide-eyed smirk. DCYC stands out because it can't simply be boxed into one sound of style. Boasting airtight mic skills and undeniable production, it's a one-two punch that's going to knock listeners out and get bodies moving in the process.?
