From hundreds of entries, twelve musical acts from across Manhattan were chosen by judges to compete on February 7, 2014 at The Greenespace. The 12 acts performed for a live audience, live stream and three judges, Caryn Havlik (producer of WNYC's New Sounds), Wes Jackson (Executive Director of the Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival) and Lindsey Cook (A&R Executive at RCA Records). Then, voters picked their top five bands. Now, after a week of voting, there's only one band standing. The WNYC, 2014 Manhattan winner in the Battle of the Boroughs is 5j BARROW!
