Supernova Entertainment Inc.

Supernova is a Canadian company that has organized rock concerts in many Canadian and some American cities since 1992. Their forté is organizing "battle of the bands" shows, where anywhere from 8 to 30 local bands sell tickets and play a short set at a local venue. The top few bands, as decided by judges (according to Supernova), often win hours at a recording studio, and can move on to a next round of the battle.

A broad range of genres can be heard at Supernova events, however, you will most commonly hear heavier styles such as Screamo, Punk, Metal or Rock.
