MTV's Musical March Madness tournament is
screaming toward the end of its second round — polls close Monday, March
31 at noon ET — and as we gear up for the Sweet 16, some bands seem like sure things ... while others are just barely hanging on.
Of course, nothing's written in stone just yet, and there's still plenty of time to change things; if your favorite band is behind, hit the polls — or, if they're ahead, vote like crazy to keep them there. And as we prepare to cut the field of 32 in half, we're taking a look at the matchups in each region: yesterday, we tackled the Midwest and West ... and today, we're breaking down the East and South, where the matchups are fierce, and the action is furious.
East Region
Let's just get this out of the way: Yes, Tokio Hotel is winning. By a lot. The unstoppable #MMM juggernauts (and occasional band) are rolling #14 Bayside, and, barring a collapse of epic proportions, they'll move on to the Sweet 16, where a matchup with #7 Tegan and Sara seems likely. After all, the Quin sisters are up big on #15 Phantogram, and look like locks to move on to the next round ... where they'll subsequently get destroyed by TH's Aliens. Good times!
Things are decidedly more interesting in the East's other matchups ... particularly the down-to-the-wire battle brewing between #16 Palaye Royale (the first unsigned band to ever make the tournament) and #9 Coldplay. The up-and-coming fashion rockers jumped out to a huge lead on Chris Martin and Co., but as the week wore on, Coldplay have closed the gap — and stirred up the kind of cheating!!! accusations usually reserved for Tokio Hotel fans. Right now, it's Palaye Royal with the slight lead; can they hold it through the weekend?
If they do, they'll take on #4 Bastille in the Sweet 16, as the "Pompeii" rockers are blasting #5 Arctic Monkeys in the Battle of Britain. No drama, just a rather convincing display of power from the Bastille boys, who may be the only remaining band in the region who could challenge Tokio Hotel.
