After winning fame and a recording contract through participation in the Bodog Battle of the Bands, Springfield's Fear Nuttin' Band (pictured) has parted ways with the label and now brings its unique sound back to the Pioneer Valley. Cleverly combining metal, Jamaican dancehall and hip-hop under its musical credo "unify the music, unify the people," the band brings social consciousness to its music. Opening acts include Danny Pease and the Regulators and the Glisten Effect.
