From Volume One:

The Drunk Drivers are an absolute Eau Claire treasure. This band has been blasting their catchy, heavy rock tunes all over the Valley and beyond for over 20 years, and you can’t slow ’em down. About twice the age of your average local hard rock band, the Drivers can out-rock almost anyone, and that’s why readers perennially rank them high in this category. Coming in second is The Jaggernauts, a dynamite local rock staple whose latest album — 2014’s Safe — is a local favorite, and it’s frequently among some of our best-selling music at The Local Store. In third place, the no-holds-barred, thrashing tunes of picard — headed up by songwriter Jason Ulwelling — draw tons of fans to their shows who know they’re seeing a group that truly knows how to rock. — Eric Christenson
