Two bands have already resigned/have been disqualified because of unfair voting and the people in charge of competition are investigating more/all of the bands.
I've listened to the other bands, and like Jen said, bands like AC are going up against EBE, which is great, and I add that they are now behind because of crappy bands who have seemingly rigged votes.
I didn't mean you as in YOU, but more generalized. It just humors me how on myspace and livejournals everyone automatically say the other bands suck just because they are beating EBE. I have dial up internet so I don't really have the OPTION to listen to anyone aside from ebe. I haven't been paying attention to the numbers as much as you guys I suppose...
I don't think anyone has said the other bands are bad.
Last I checked one of the bands EBE were up against are The Appleseed Cast who are fucking fantastic. We're saying the voting seems rigged or they haven't really been able to screen for voting bots like they said they would.
I'm a fan of EBE, but I think it is kind of bogus how everyone is automatically bashing all of the bands that are winning. Now maybe some of you have taken the time to listen to the bands with higher rankings, but I imagine most of you haven't so you can keep voting. I mean, how do we know they are shitty? I mean, they can't be THAT bad, they were one of 20 picked out of a hundred so someone has to like them. Personally, I don't think EBE would get received very well at Lolla. They aren't really the lolla type. Just my two cents though....
