Hey man thanks for the kind words! We seriously enjoyed it man! I mean yeah, it was full of winners like, and chavs, i had to make a comment about the overpopulation of pink t-shirts there! But i feel that we played well that day, if you guys were watching thanks a bunch! Gota keep hardcore and metal going!

Coronajones- you didnt miss much! It wasent a battle of the bands at all, what it was is who could look the prettiest in a pink or yellow t-shirt and do a busted/mcfly impression at the same time! There was one band with a keyboard player, he has this yellow t-shirt on man, and he was grinning like fuck! I even had to wonder weather he had his teath bleached! Oh man it was a shambles! It wasent based on how good a live performer the band was, 'comercial' was the order of the day!
Us and powerwordkill put on awesome shows if i do say like, but we were never gona get through! We didnt really care man, we played out doors!
We had a guy offer us gigs afterwards which was also very cool!
So something good did come out of it! We had a blast man, doesnt matter if people didnt like what we were doing! We had a blast!
There was like 30-40 people we pulled in, and we were told that that was very good for any band that played that weekend! Saturday there was a grand total of 10!

Oh and sorry if we offened any one with the pink t-shirt thing! Ha ha! But it was ridiculous how many tight baby coloured t-shirts there were there! Ha Ha!

It was worth doing J, just to get that contact for gigs man!!

This pink and yellow t-shirt things tho.......hhmmm!!

Like rhubarb and fucking custard everywhere!!

Keep it hardcore and FUCK 'EM AL!!

no offence like... but i FUCKING HATE MCFLY / BUSTED type fake pop punk bands.

put down your guitars you cunts and learn a synchronised dance routine - you are poisoning the minds of chil-der-en.

was there a band called 'neveready' playing?

if you made a new contact for gigs everyone's a winner

Yeah man, we enjoyed it what more can i say, it was a great sound! But commercialness was the order of the day!

Yeah, twas me!! Gonna be bookin bands in for the end of September / begining of October time down the Arena, a couple of different nights like, then mix the bands after that. Any other bands also wanting gigs gimme a PM.

There was one proper band in the final, mine, and we came second. Shoulda walked it but pink shirts were the order of the day and we didnt bring our nans!
You are right tho, it wasnt a proper BOTB. Could've done with that grand tho...would've sorted us right out.

We dint give a fuck man, we just enjoyed it! If we'd won the grand we would have split it four ways, and i would have given mine to my mam! Cos im a lovely boy see.. Ha Ha! RESPECT FOR FAMILY!
Yeah man as soon as ya have any give us a shout! Try and give about 2 weeks in advance if ya can! Or 1 at the least! Its easier to get things sorted then! But if not, just fucking ask anyways!

covers bands should not be allowed to participate in BOTB competitions. simple as.

It wasent a battle of the bands as such in that way man, it was full of people who love an old sing along! But we enjoyed it! Go to our site ive put up some pics after the show!
