    It's back!

    Welcome to Battle of the Bands 6!

    1,000,000v's to the winner, 250,000v's to the runner up, 100,000v's for the semi-final

    The theme? It's a free for all! Pick any band or artist as long as they haven't previously featured in a TC BOTB!

    Going by previous BOTB's, this should make for an eclectic mix of music. You have a while to think as we are going to kick off on 15th February 2016!

    Giving this amount of time to hopefully get more people to sign up and I have a lot of work to do before then.

    Feel free to PM me with your band/artist selections as soon as you have them.

    However, hold off on sending me your song selections for the first round.

    The theme for the first round will be, any song that was released as a single by your band or artist.


    To recap:
    • When? 15th Feb 2016
    • What theme? Free choice of band or artist as long as they haven't featured before in a TC BOTB
    • Can we PM you our artist now? Yes
    • When can we send our 1st round songs in? 11th February



    Edit:

    Information for any new entrants
    • All selection of band/artists, song choice and voting is sent to me via PM
    • Please don't reveal your vote
    • Please don't reveal who your band/artist is
    • The deadlines for voting etc aren't set in stone, we're all aware we have lives outside of the forum so timescales are flexible
    • Give it a go, it's a good laugh. The more the merrier.

    If you go into BOTB 5 which is the one Taz was running there is a list on the first page but also the other bands that were entered after that post are also discounted.

    Band/Artist submitted. Can't wait for this to start again.

    Expecting an early exit again though. :smiley-laughing002:

    I'll probably join in, although I'm actually having a harder time picking someone this time around despite having more freedom :smiley-laughing002:

    I've got it narrowed down to a few choices, and I've got a sort of preferred among them, but I'm still a bit unsure if I want to go with them.
