Akron’s Fisticuff have reached the final round of this year’s Project Independent contest.
More than 900 groups entered; the local metal band is one of 20 remaining now.
They were just 300 votes out of the lead in the semifinals, and now the counts have been reset to zero.
The winner will receive a spot on a national tour and $50,000 in gear. Semifinals voting ends on New Year's Eve. —D.X. Ferris
