Sleeper Agent's Alex Kandel Nominated For Rolling Stone's Women Who Rock Contest


Sleeper Agent co-lead singer Alex Kandel has been chosen as one of the six finalists of Rolling Stone's "Women Who Rock" contest where the winner will appear on the back cover of the iconic music magazine. Handpicked by Rolling Stone editors, the six finalists represent a range of musical genres and are already making an impact in the industry. Check out Sleeper Agent's "Women Who Rock" feature and vote for the band here. 

"Being nominated is a great opportunity for the band. It's not even as much about winning or losing as it is about more people discovering our band," said Kandel. "That's all I really want -- more people hearing our record. I'm really proud of what we've created."

The top two finalists will compete head-to-head on stage at the Rolling Stone Rock Room at Lollapalooza in Chicago on August 3 and 4. The performances will be posted on RollingStone.com and fans will vote to determine the winner. 

The finalists will also be featured in Us Weekly Magazine, online at UsMagazine.com and in a "Rock Your Style" section.
