We are just a few weeks away from launching the first batch of promo/details for the 1st annual “Beast Coast Music Awards”. The first step will be acquiring our nominees list. After that, the four most-nominated acts for each category will go into voting phase. The nomination process involves YOU! The voting phase includes everyone who signs up for the poll. The awards ceremony will take place on the Friday of Maritime Metal & Hard Rock Festival 8. The ceremony will be followed by performances by two of the Maritimes best heavy acts. The winner of “Best Heavy Band of 2019” will be offered a well-paid slot opening for Saturday’s headlining act.
This is going to be an extreme amount of fun with massive amounts of hilarity.

We look forward to everyone coming together to enjoy the heavier side of Maritime music and giving some bands the credit they deserve. Like “Band With Best Merch”, “Best Self-Promoting Band”, “Best Heavy Album of 2019”, but also “Cheesiest Tribute Band”, “Band Most Likely to Still Be Headlining Gus’ Pub on a Tuesday Night in Ten Years” and much more. It’s going to be a great way to have some fun and get some well-earned laughs. The event’s main funder will most certainly get the worst of it....... and he will love every second of it.” ...
