SPUT ROYALE: Round 1 Group D

WELCOME BACK to this year's band-on-band single elimination fuckothon nice lfg, now here in its FIFTH incarnation. Last year saw Portishead grab the laurels of Royale #4, and uh oh wow, who will it be this year? With Group A down, this is now, uh, Group B. Out of D. Nice. For anyone joining us for the first time, the system is dead simple: copy and paste a ballot, delete entries as appropriate, vote the worthiest artist in each match through to the next round. You do NOT have to vote on each match-up, and ballots containing as few as ONE vote are A-okay! See the Round 1 Group A for major changes since last year, let's go!
