I'm surprised to see loudness not being part of the judging criteria.

 

[someone]

I would have thought the loudest band should be judged by a dB meter only.
Pure scientific method.

Of course there is also the issue of are we talking momentary volume peak or average volume level throughout the period!

 

[quackducksfp]

I don't think they mean loudest as in volume, but metaphorically as the best..

BTW, is this competition only for originals or can we do covers as well..

 

[haikelzambri]

wooohooo

what an event!!! imma stick around to see who's gonna win...
i dont wanna be narrow minded but... go post-hardcore!!!! XD

 

[infektivium]

wow. something new here.

We will need the bands to play originals.

I'm surprised to see loudness not being part of the judging criteria.

Nonetheless am sure if a band is as tight as Loudness ( the band ), you'll get votes
