On Episode 129 of Prime Time Jukebox, we kick off the 2024 Battle of the Bands Competition and turn our attention to the 1970s.

While last year we selected artists, this year we have decided to focus on albums – specifically from the decade of the 197s. Hector Alfonso of Espinosa Cigars and John McTavish of Developing Palates are once again back and participating.

The concept works as follows: Dave, Coop, Hector, and John will each pick eight albums. The selections will occur via a “Draft.” Once the albums are selected, each participant will seed them, place them into brackets and you will decide who should move on. We will go through each round on Twitter, until there is a winner from each of the four brackets. From that point, the four bracket winners will square off in a final four.

The tournament commences the week of May 27th with two matchups a day to vote on. Each vote will be eligible to compete to win one of three special prizes that will be announced

For this show, here are our smokes:

• Dave:  601 La Bomba Warhead X
• Coop:  Las 6 Provincias ZDT
• John: Black Label Trading Company Bishops Blend
• Hector: Knuckle Sandwich Connecticut
