Four bands signed up for the heats - and only three bands turned up. No matter though - the Rock Comp Heat 1 still RULED!!! Here's the line-up:
> CHAOS DYNASTY
> EMMA B-M
> SCREAM IN UNISON
> SELECTIVE WALK
Up first were Chaos Dynasty. A generally good band, but not really everyone's cup of tea I don't think. They had a very unusual singing style - I will say that Alfie Wyatt's throat must've been hurting after the strange grunting-screamo kind of sound that was coming out of it. They got 23 votes, which was a split audience vote with Selective Walk.
Chaos Dynasty
As for Emma B-M... well... I would be able to report on them IF they had turned up! But unfortunately, we recieved an email halfway through the heats saying that there was a problem and they wouldn't make it. Too bad! Strangely, though, there were three "devoted" people who actually voted for the no-show band. Each to their own, I guess...
Now Scream In Unison were absolutely fantastic. The female lead vocals were amazing, and the songs were very catchy. The musicians were very talented, although the drums were sort of average for the most part, with really cool bits here and there. The band got through as the judges voted them the best, and the feeling was the same for a lot of the audience!
Scream In Unison
Selective Walk - WOO YOU GO GUYS! These were my personal favourite, and the majority of the crowd was there for them, so the audience response was immense! Awesome guitarists, awesome singing and awesome drums makes for an awesome band. 23 votes, the same as Chaos Dynasty, and they were voted runners-up by the judges.
Selective Walk
GOOD LUCK IN THE FINALS EVERYONE!!
