Cornerstone says that all the hard work they put into the first round show paid off, and that seems fair. After all, they’re in the process of getting ready for the Emergenza semi-finals now. Surely, they’ll win you over with their distinct brand of rock and roll, tinged with hints of 70’s and 80’s glam, and be sent off to the finals. But, wait a minute. Hold your horses. First, you’ve got to come out to see them play live at The Espy on the 18th and get your vote in! Before the show they offer you all the incentive you need to do just that.
