mtv.com: MTV's Musical March Madness Moves To Round Two: Vote Now!

Did your favorite artist survive in #MMM? Voting is open in all second-round matchups.

Round two of MTV's Musical March Madness tips off Monday (March 24), and after one week, the 2014 tournament is already proving to be one for the ages.

We started with 64 bands, and now the field has been whittled down to 32 ... as the quest for total supremacy — and one very toned trophy — continues. Voting in all second-round matchups is now underway, and polls will remain open until Monday, March 31 at noon ET.

Vote Now In All #MMM Second-Round Matchups!

Much like the actual NCAA tournament (farewell, Duke), #MMM has already seen plenty of upsets, as two #1 seeds were sent packing, and no shortage of nail-biting, down-to-the-wire battles ... and if we've learned anything from the first round, it's that every vote counts; so, if you want your favorites to survive to the Sweet 16, well, hit the polls early and often!

But before you do, let's recap the week that was ... and look ahead at the second-round matchups in #MMM 2014!

East Region

Imagine Dragons weren't the only #1 to go down in round one, as the East's top seed, Vampire Weekend, were also given the boot, this time at the well-manicured hands of #16 Palaye Royale. As #MMM's only unsigned band, PR entered the 2014 tourney untested, but after round one, they look poised to make a deep run in the field ... though it won't get any easier, as they take on #9 Coldplay — who held off #8 the 1975 in a tight opening-round contest — for a birth in the Sweet 16.

In the other top-half matchup, it's #5 Arctic Monkeys vs. #4 Bastille ... and though AM breezed through their first-round contest, Bastille were taken down to the wire by upset-minded underdogs #13 Electric Century, who came up just short in their tournament debut. Still, with on a single to their name, EC look like they could become tournament staples for years to come.

Things were equally tight in the East's bottom half, as #15 Phantogram shocked #2 Lorde in a close contest, and #7 Tegan and Sara survived a serious scare from #10 Bring Me The Horizon. #14 Bayside upset #3 Arcade Fire, and now have the honor of getting obliterated by Tokio Hotel in the second round, as the unstoppable German band rolled over #6 Korn by historic margins, and certainly seem to be the team to beat in this year's tournament.

The second-round matchups in the East are:

» #16 Palaye Royale vs. #9 Coldplay
» #5 Arctic Monkeys vs. #4 Bastille
» #15 Phantogram vs. #7 Tegan and Sara
» #11 Tokio Hotel vs. # 14 Bayside

So who will survive to the Sweet 16? That's up to you! Second-round voting is now underway in #MMM, and if your favorites are still alive, you can guide them to the 2014 title ... or, if your band lost, what better way to get some revenge than voting in round two?!? Polls will remain open until Monday, March 31 at noon ET.
