And then there were 32! Following an opening “March Sadness: The Promise Ring Song Bracket” round that found more than 8,000 total votes being cast, our hand-selected field of 64 compositions by The Promise Ring has now been cut in half. After that thrilling first round that featured some close calls, a few upsets, and lots of favored songs advancing, we honestly have no idea how Round 2 is going to wind up. But we’re excited to find out!

Much like Round 1, the songs have been separated into the following album-based regions: 30 Degrees Everywhere, Nothing Feels Good, Very Emergency, and Wood/Water. Each region also features standalone songs released by The Promise Ring and material from EPs or compilations. (Seeding was determined by the number of Spotify streams each song had when this bracket was created.)

Round 2 started March 11 and runs through March 17. Subsequent rounds will take place March 18-21, March 22-25, March 26-28, and the winner will be determined after a final round that runs March 29-30. Vote early and vote as many times as you’d like. Round 2 of “March Sadness: The Promise Ring Song Bracket” (and a JPG of the bracket itself) can be found below!
