Over the weekend, Sheltering Wings, a domestic violence program in Danville, Indiana hosted their second annual Battle of the Bands. Local bands, with members ranging in age from 13-24, wrote songs about dating abuse or sexual assault. Among the bands that performed were Almost Awesome, Scarlet Dienasty, Achoo! I Sneezed, Holy Hand Grenade, 12 Hours of Kaos. The event sounds like it was a lot of fun and a great idea for raising awareness of dating abuse. We haven’t heard which bands won yet but we hope we have a chance to listen to them soon.
And as always – if your local domestic violence program or school is planning an event that focuses on dating abuse, please leave us a comment here. We’d really like to know about it.
