Though they didn’t wear Speedos like Michael Phelps, the band Starving For Gravity brought home the gold and won the LAMN Jam Grand Slam Rock Artist of the Year title. The competition was Olympic in proportion and SFG beat out hundreds of competitors, and got these remarks from top-tier talent judges:

“Extremely impressed!” “I liked you guys a lot.” I could hear this on the radio!” “A lot of mainstream crossover appeal.”
