The Playoff took place in Cleveland, Ohio at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Saturday, September 12(th). The battle is an annual music competition for amateur company-sponsored bands who compete for the title "Best Corporate Band in America." Contest proceeds benefit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

"We are monumentally proud of our three individual awards and third place title, and we're grateful for the support we received!" Detached Retina is a well-known local favorite of music fans. Started in 2010, they have played at local venues around the DC area, and most recently at the Arlington County Fair.
