I have been reading the posts about the battle of the bands from the seraphim, a thousand seasons and nubblies board. I am not pleased with a lot of the posting going on by some people. I don't think any of these bands got together to try to get the money. Its not really about that, its about going up there, playing your hearts out and having a great time. This years battle of bands was not the greatest. Although there were a couple talented bands, I don't understand why everyone is going punk. I'm not really interested in punk music. Most punk isn't geniune. Its not that good of a style, a lot is unorganized and just untalented. If I'm going to listen to a band, I listen for uniquenss, talent, lyrics, and there sound. When it comes to punk, things lack in those areas. But there are always exceptions. I mean look at the people who attended, they were all middle schoolers. This has been the 4th battle of the bands I've went to, and the audience was never like they were thursday. It was basically people you would see attend a punk show. It was pathetic. About the lyrics in some of the ingsoc songs... I don't think any person really in there right mind would agree with the words of the first song and would agree they should have played it. It was not approiate to play it. I'm reading a lot about "real" bands are the ones that should play. You shouldn't have to be a "real" band to not get critism like I'm seeing. Its about going up there and having a good time, who cares if you just got a band together to play... that doesn't mean that they are just for the money. Maybe they wanted to take there talent and play for the crowd. Obviously the voting is not going to be fair, that's what happens when the audience votes. Its more about who's friends with who. Even though is frustrating, its going to happen and will happen, but that's just life. That's my input, now for the critics...
