The nation’s oldest battle-of-the-bands competition has announced their 2015 lineup, and it’s a good one. With a lineup like this, the Rock ‘n’ Roll Rumble is more like a killer 9-day music festival than a competition. From Sunday, April 12 through Friday, May 1, you can listen to local acts at TT the Bears in Cambridge, as they participate in a friendly battle in the name of rock ‘n’ roll.
Here are all the bands WZLX and Boston Emissions have selected for this year’s Rumble:
