Your first chance to hear all four finalists' entries as well as the shadows is at tonight's Listening Party, hosted as always by our faithful Tommy G at 10 pm EDT. Join us on YouTube or embedded below.

Here are your rankings from owl, a past SpinTunes competitor who also has multiple Song Fight and Nur Ein wins under her belt, both solo and as a member of Vowl Sounds. Owl has very generously stepped up as a substitute judge since Zoe Gray was unable to judge this round.

Before we get to the results of Round 3, two quick notes:
1. Zoe Gray had an unexpected but unavoidable conflict with judging Round 3. Song Fight and Nur Ein regular Owl has graciously agreed to step in as a substitute judge for this round. Thank you Owl! We expect Zoe to be back for the Final Round.
2. Other life stuff conspired for other judges (and myself) such that not all judges' reviews are ready to be posted. Rather than make everyone wait for any results at all, we're posting the judges' rankings now, with reviews to follow later.
With that in mind, read on for Round 3 rankings!
Here we are, at the Final Round of SpinTunes 22. If you've gotten this far, you've already proven yourself adept at handling difficult technical challenges, so we're not going to give you another wickedly restricting challenge. Instead, we're once again returning to an old SpinTunes Final Round tradition: the Photo Finish. Read on for your challenge, and remember that this time you'll be judged by your fellow SpinTunes 22 contestants!
If you missed last night's Round 3 Listening Party, never fear: the album is now public and available to stream or download for free! Listen on Bandcamp or embedded below, and as always, thank you to Matt Schubbe for the album art!
The SpinTunes 22 Round 3 deadline has passed, and we have eighteen brand-new songs ready to debut at tonight's Listening Party!
One eligible contestant missed the submission deadline, so The Moon Bureau has been reinstated into the competition. Welcome back!
Tommy G will play all the songs for us tonight at 10 pm EDT - be sure to join us on YouTube or embedded below.
The judges have judged Round 2, and one song charmed them enough to swing its way into first place. Congratulations to our Round 2 winner, The Pannacotta Army!
Ironbark's venture into the depths of space was one point shy of the top spot, earning second place. And close behind in third place are The Alleviators.

This has been a crazy week for me, so I haven’t spent nearly the time listening to these excellent songs that I would like to. Since I don’t want to criticize anything I haven’t had the chance to give a fair listen to, I am going to limit my reviews to things I liked about your songs. Good thing there’s a lot to like! Read on for my very brief reviews.

We are halfway through SpinTunes 22, and this tournament has already produced some incredible music. Let's keep things going, shall we?
You did so well with Round 2's musical challenge that we're giving you another. This one will make you do something different. And also something the same. Read on for your Round 3 challenge.
