Most stupid feedback from a professional jury...

I just enjoyed the Hell out of your Youtube clips!

Probably the judges were looking for bands that actually played music!

"Music is an art form whose medium is sound and silence. Common elements of music are pitch (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics, and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture..." Music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Agree. Music is not a competitive sport anyway. Most "competitions" are more about the organizers and promoters making some coin on the backs of bands just struggling to do their thing.

+100

FWIW: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] is not a band to enter competitions, so this was our only 'mistake' in this manner.

makes sense that this type of music wouldn't fly in a 'band contest' they are intended for the masses - it would be like expecting a beauty pageant to select a 5 ft 2 girl with 'unique features' - she could very well be the best gal there - and atttractive as all get out - but the 5 ft 11 slim blonde with 34 Cs is going to win 99 times out of 100 - even though we have all seen her before....

+100000

and +1 too about the competition. Whenever you have to choose between what you like or dislike , there gonna be frustration.


I was working in a place and to fill up the monday nights we started a contest. The first reason was only to sell beer.
We found other 'social' and 'artistic' reasons afterward when the contest was picking up.
It's still on today after 15 years , and it's funny how the organizers don't remember the original reason why it was started !!
