Orion's up-and-coming (but unnamed) band is preparing to enter the local Battle of the High School Bands. But to succeed he must overcome his nervousness, a rival band, girl problems, and a suddenly acrimonious relationship with his older brother. Between chapters, screenshots from the band's blog and the corresponding user comments help develop the plot in a fresh way.
