SPUT ROYALE: Round 2 Group A

WE ARE KICKING INTO SWING at 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? ROUND 2 let's go. 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 list for major changes since last year, let's go!
