I was at Wal-Mart today and decided to thumb through a few of the usual magazines, and I noticed Metal Edge had their Readers Choice Awards out.
Guess who was listed as one of the three best new bands! You guessed it! Alter Bridge!
There weren't anything ranked as 1, 2, or 3, but they were listed third. The first two were Velvet Revolver and Damageplan. I find it interesting that the three best new bands were bands that formed after their previous groups broke up.
