Linda Serck
Hi guys, thanks for your comments about the obvious vote cheating this week. It has been duly noted and believe you me, I have made it clear to the two bands in question that this sort of rigging is inexcusable and that they will incur a points penalty on the show this week. In future, any bands who cheat to this sort of extent will automatically receive a 0% result in the online vote. Lindaxx

gary
You should put Seeds of Doubt on again! they are eeeeeeleeeeeeeeeeectrific!

Tony Vickers

Emma
loving the enigma project they r fab!

Alex tnt
Enigma Project really are one of the tightest bands I have heard in this area full stop. I truly believe that with the potential they show at their age is amazing, it will no tbe long till the industry takes note even more than they are at the moment.

The Same
More of the same? YES PLEASE apparently; no more indie, no more stupid "emo"... THANKS

John
That beef song is well funny

Jonny Virgo
Big up the Mighty Man. That Kid Wax tune is sounding large

Sam
I love Raw Linx.Arrested For Swearing. I vote for them ><

Kirsty Trice (Vintones lead singer)
The Vintones did not cheat, the radio competition was placed on myspace and facebook as well as put around the college I currently study at. If you would not be so rude we are hard working and dedicated musicians individually and as a band and are proud of the support we have.

Amy
The Carter Manoeuvere are fantastic, so tight for an unsigned band. A really great song too.

Fez
ingen would have won this if the voting was fair, u only have to look at their large fan base to recognise that. they worked hard to build up the fan base and it was shot down by blatent cheating.

inGen fan =[
just wana say that the vote riggin has got stupid... the vintones shud never hav won that when they were cheating online... if you check there myspace (wateva it is) there is nothing on there promoting it or anything, whereas the other 2 bands tried and inGen would have won that if it wasnt for the online rigg as LOADS of ppl voted for them and even sed on there myspace. u shud be ashamed of yourselves vintones, coz ur just cheating yourself in the end. was a bit of a joke on air. nevermind. GO INGEN AND JOHN!

ryan millward
'secrets are secrets for a reason!'

Jame's
Shame already fixing votes...this morning there was 8 votes (all for ingen) and now 123 votes...no offence to the vintones but I doubt you had that many votes, why do people feel the need to cheat at this?

inGen rocks!!!!

Version88
Thanks to everyone who voted for us both times we appeared on the demo panel. We have 8 songs to download FREE on www.myspace.com/version88

Epic
Ingen are one of the best unsigned bands I have heard in a long time! Awesome track and a very good live act!

Tony Vickers
Thanks to everyone that voted for ''Panic Stations'' if you want some more quality Electro/Rock please visit www.myspace.com/tonyvickers and NOT to be associated with any other Tony Vickers's that may exist ha ha!!! Many thanks to Linda,for supporting the local scene.

james
this isn't really a comment for the comment page, but i'm having useability issues with your web page. Why is the voting panel right at the bottom after all the comments? I'm looking at it on a mac, so maybe that's it, or is it always there? I reckon you're probably losing a few peoples votes as not everyone would think to scroll down past 1000 lines of comments to find the panel.

NMC heads
Mike Lemin Rocks !!!!

Blardy Blars
Seen as were on a label now and recording our new EP...WE ARE GIVING ALL OUR DEMOS AWAY FOR FREE!So download the tracks now onwww.myspace.com/blardyblarsNicee x

Tony Blackburn
www.myspace.com/monkeybobuk... (sob!) Come back Tessa.. What's that Arnold? You've been dumped as well?

Redburnscack
Lady ...well, there only good tune to be honest. Not bad live but every song sounds the same and if they spent as much time playing as they did posing & doing their hair, I'm sure they would be a decent unsigned band. Apparently Mercury are interested in them which only highlights the low standards that people will accept these days.

ryan
I think the noyze are an ammazing fresh sounding band and have the best idea of music in reading at the momment and should be signed plus they were excellent in london last night ,top boys!

Jim
voting should have closed a while ago

Shazzer
64 pieces of toast - you deserve every one. Awesome! Keep toasting!

Ginny
64 slices of toast is the better song, hope they win.

jemaine tofoo
64 slices of toast have the most random name but their sax is well gd. there kl cos there a band dat hasn't done any other gigs yet. There myspace is well kl to.

Elleana
64 slices of toast are my favourite but they're all pretty good. I think that everyone should be a winner!

Bob
Go go The Noyze

Hobo
Isn't it funny... The Noyze and Version 88 have both had a steady rise in voters, yet 64 Slices of Toast have increased from 31% to 47% in two hours. Can any one else smell smoked haddock?

Teresa
Versonion88 song got me bouncing on my seat!! Very original, really good.

sammy
I think 64 slices of toast are very good, they are better than the others!

Mr Biggles
Version88 are fantastic, what an amzing song!!!!

Gerry
Bite the bullet... tune!

LOLEWIS
64 slices of toast are a bit good :)

Over 60 housand votes this week? Mmmmm...

PlayLoud!!!
www.myspace.com\sonicovermind

silly
this voting is all rather silly - don't you think - 74,000 votes??!!! - with that level of support you'll have U2 supporting you within a few weeks - I just feel sorry for Nexus Bloom

Barry
haha, 63,000 votes for some relatively unheard of berkshire band....yeah right!! maybe if Second Story Ruin spent more time on their songwriting than refreshing a website then they might not have to make up fictitious votes. Daddy's Little Secret seem to maybe have done the same but at least theirs is a good song. This is funny!!

Wiggy
Nexus Bloom played for Alan McGee last night at Death Disco - Streets of Light live is awesome !! It won't be long before this band is massive..........

Becca
Daddy's Little Secret, you're sounding wicked!! I really hope you win this! I'd love to hear more!!!

Red Burns Black
well done to within our rights for winning good luck guys!!

Paul
There is some major cheating going on with this voting system. 6000+ votes? Please. Someone sort out a way of recording IP address to vote please.

Joanne
Wow, no cheating going on here is there. No point to this anymore. No point on judge votes either if Mr Cheater Cheatersons have nealy all the votes. SADDOS! GET SOME TALENT!

nothing suspicious
nearly 1000 votes in under an hour - so lets delete cookies and vote again

avatar sounded like a two-bob 'nirvana' tribute band. they were out of tune, out of time. if people cant stomach that, thats unlucky on them. it aint the judges fault that avatar and the other song wernt as good, basically.

James
What a crock of cr*p the judges are! AVATAR smashed the readers vote and they slated it. Really unfair!

Alex Reeves
nick pinkney is clearly the best. its a bit heart-bleeding but its fun in an overly-emotional way.

Jangles
the Noyze - winners!

squid
Justin- you've hit the nail on the head there. The Blardy Blars are the most talentless, bland and unprofessional "band" in Reading, if not the country. It about time people started listening to the music instead of being drawn in by the hype. absolutely dire!

jUSTIN
Blardy blars are terrible.

i <3 hw
theyre a bit crap, a bit good a bit freaky. but theyre brilliant! tre-mendo

Just heard the sad news about Wiz from Mega City Four and more recntly Ipanema. Wiz died from a blood clot in the brain. He was a huge inspiration to my singing and songwritng and will never be forgotten. Rest In Peace!!!

Hello Wembley
So are we!!

Kate Moss
Pete, stop messing around on that bloody messageboard and come home..

Rosch
Grrrrrr just wanted to have a rant on here about how much I hate forming bands. Especially trying to find a suitable drummer or bass player, trying to find someone that fits in with the band or arranging to meet someone and they don't turn up. Isn't this the most unpleasant part about the whole band thing? Be interesting to see what other people think or if it is just me and should chuck it all in!!!

Ricky
Interesting selection this week!! All very different bands. My moneys on Panick Attakk for pure energy.

me old rocker...
Panikk Attakk are awesome, I saw them live and they sound wikked! Defo seeing them at the face bar on the 15th. Rock on!

Great show this week, great selection of songs, really nice to hear a summing up of the last six months which have been really eventful in Reading. Well done. Jumping the great white isn't difficult to dance to.

I STILL need a cuddle...

Annie
Hi Nev, hey, no worries! Good to see some healthy debate. Thanks for your comments. I do enjoy doing the show, and I am always really pleased to be asked. Keep listening, as we've heard some really great stuff recently!

Lavrenti Beria
... and another thing, "the professionals" would probably be far more harsh than the regular panellists ever are!

The Flanders Pigeon Murderer
Oi Stardust, STOP IT!!!!

Nev
Hi Annie - Sorry!! the comment about opinion being fact wasn't aimed at you it was more of a few comments made earlier that made my blood boil. I should have made that a bit clearer. I totally repect what your doing on the show and giving the bands a chance to air there stuff. I think it could do with more constructive critism I think always including something positive about them is important even if you think they are awful. This will encouarge them to work harder and develop as a band. I actually came out of the music industry because of in being such a critical place. I just don't like seeing other peoples art being slagged off because its perosnal to them.

SDL
Matt makes me sad.

Ziggy Stardust
Marry me Linda!

Annie
Hi again Nev! errr..I don't remember saying that because I've seen loads of bands, that makes my opinion fact. It is only my opinion! I love all sorts of music, and even if somethng isn't my cup of tea genre-wise, if it's done well, and 'says' something to me, I will say so. However, if it's a load of cheesy badly-performed rubbish (in my opinion), then I reserve the right to be able to say that too. If you've worked in the industry for 10 years, then you'll know it's a very hard place to be. Bands get slagged off all the time, it's a nasty world out there! Just because it's local radio, and we're hearing new bands, doesn't mean we have to be fluffy and nice about EVERYONE, do we? how dull... As for the Reading scene, I won't comment on that, as every local scene will have more than its fair share of egos (occupational hazard, surely) although I will point out that the music on the show comes from all over Berkshire, not just Reading!

Nev
Hi Monty Casino - sorry if I made your blood curdle at the thought of the OAP version of Steps reforming. I won't mention their name again in case I have jinxed it to happen. It is a grizzley thought!!!

matt
BIG UP NEV! WHAT A LEGEND! HES SAID IT ALL IN ONE COMMENT. I COULDN'T OF PUT THE POINT ACROSS BETTER MYSELF.

The new seekers have reformed! -I know the drummer....

Monty Casino
Hi Nev, you've made a fair point but PLEASE don't talk about the New Seekers reforming.. It is one of those terrible things that could quite possibly become true. (Even Chris and that bloke who thinks he's Beria could agree on that!)

Version88
Thanks for the 8, Linda - it was us who called you The First Lady of Berkshire Music btw! Thanks to everyone who voted!

Nev
Annie you're totally missing my point. I'm not on about watching covers bands I'm on about bands that has write their own material and then being told it's been done before or its unorginal. A band writing a song is orginal enough for me and that is what I enjoy unless it is a blatent rip off of another song. I actually can't stand covers bands I would rather watch a reformation of the new seekers than watch a covers band. I've worked in the music industry for about 10 years now since I was in my teens and I can safely say that I am not an expert on music like some people are saying they are here. Since when has going to watch thousands of bands given someone the write to make their opinon fact. To be honest I am sick of the Reading music scene its seems to be full of really negative opinonated ego heads these days. In my opinion the session is a great idea in theory but just now comes across to me like a show where each week a band will get slagged off.

Beef
Fair play to Vice. Good tunige. Haha the Habit may have mates but they need to get practicing.

Lavrenti Beria
Hi Matt. If they hired "professionals" for the demo panel you'd still get the same kind of views and opinions. I don't agree with everything Linda or the panellists say but this is part and parcel of being a music lover. And while I'm here, hello C/Chris whether you like it or not, I'm BACK!!

De peche moda
Version 88. Listen to it. Vote for it and then Love it...Long Time

matt
you don't seem to realise that this isn't about fta or the wookies anymore, thats they're problem, and in the past. i listened to the demo panel this week and the first band were definatly the best. but somehow the third band won...

Dan
Barefootim gets my vote this week. Mark Knight was good too. Not sure about the country-esque final song from version 88.

CUFFY
Version 88 Rock!!!!!

jonnie neutral man type thing
rob-i wouldnt worry about it harming there chances as a band how many people hear the show? put it in propective its really good for local press but its not going to get A&R men throwing contracts at you ... and maybe you need to write better songs ?? just an idea...

The Bandinis
Thanks for the votes, so what if we didn't win. The band that won were good, but every one should come and see us play at Plug n Play on friday (3rd Nov) to see us live. Blardy Blars are playing too and it will be brilliant. our vote goes to Mark Knight, because he's great. bye...The Bandinis

Marc
I thought Lu Cozma's track was, well, oh so good. Then I listened to her title track RED off her brand new album of the same name. Now this is superb. Try it. www.lucozma.com

barefootim
Thanks for finding me on Myspace! Maybe Baby is the first track on my new album 'skyhigh' which is avaliable on I-tunes and www.bftim.co.uk - I'm getting married on Friday so this is a nice present and in a funny kinda way is all about that... consequences can be a good thing - Alrighty!!! Radio Berkshire Rock..

Alex
Wats up with that, The Habit getting wat about 60% of the public vote and the one that one in the end was the one with 9%. These judges know wat they r doing dont they?

Alfie Caine
Don't throw them bloody spears at me!

Rob
I'm just reading these commments through and it seems like theres quite an argument going on ! But..i have to say Linda that was a stupid comment you left. Of course if you reviewed any band and said they were brilliant theyre not gonna 'kick up a fuss', despite what they thought. It doesnt do any harm to them, a brilliant review can do nothing but good. But if the band are very good and you give them a very bad review on air then of course theres gonna be a fuss kicked up, as you could be giving them a bad name, and you probly don't know what you're talking about since if you did then all this fuss wouldn't be being 'kicked up'. But anyway yeah...re-read what you wrote Linda...

Mary-Anne Palmer
C'mon! it's not like people actually listen to BBC berkshire anyway! I frankly would rather listen to Classic fm and i'm into thrash metal!!! peace xxx

Snizzabella
1st song is a bit mediocre, 2nd song which is winning is terrible but the 3rd is pretty good. I think that one should win this week!

Adam Barton
The Bandinis get my vote!. I've seen them live and it was awesome. They have proper tunes! I've just been to their myspace page and listened to more songs. I hope they win!

Phil Lynott
Stephen Long is a bloody genius

Black Dahlia
THE HABIT ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!

Stu Murphy
I think Stephen Long is definitely a Leg-end!

Monty Casino
A little note for "C" and "Matt". Sometimes life isn't fair. Just because the demo panel don't like a certain song, it doesn't make them bad people. It's just their opinion.

Kay
get a grip matt, the blardy blars are wicked and paul is fittt. they deserved to win!

FAT MIKE
Hey First Among Equals even i wouldnt put your music out.....

Sophie
Stephen Long, what a legend! Seen him live in Windsor, amazing.

matt
bull****, you people of bbc berkshire session need new ears that are able to let you know what good music is, why the hell are you judges on the show anyway...why can't you just get proffessionals to do it...afterall you are a radio show surely you have money to pay someone???

Annie
Hello everyone! ooooh a heated debate. That's what we like to see. Hello Nev! Original v unoriginal... The Session IS supposed to be a new music show, and by that we mean NEW, not just newly recorded! And I have praised a fair bit of what I've heard, you know. If you're not bothered about originality, can I humbly suggest you stick to watching covers bands?! And yes, Lavrenti Beria, unfortunately for my long term health and well being, I HAVE seen more bands than I've hot dinners.... Tune in again this Sunday! byeeeee xx

Chris
I think the problem might be that you guys can sometimes be a little over-critical with your advice. The whole show is a great idea and gives bands publicity that is so hard to get these days. That can't be a bad thing! All I'm suggesting is maybe follow a negative comment with something positive or vice versa. It's hard to take critisism constructively when it's all negative, in fact when it's music you have written and worked hard on it's difficult not to take it personally! In the same light I hope that the judges can take the citisism of them on this message board constuctively without "throwing their toys out the pram" or "turning into a monster" so that future bands on the session will feel more fairly reviewed.

Francky Puttanard
BLIND CHANCE - For I Know You Were Mine...well...one of my favorite songs ever! wicked Match&Wax voice!!!

Linda BBC Berkshire
It's a double-edged sword. If First Among Equals thought, say, they'd played a crap gig but I reviewed them and wrote they were brilliant - I don't think the band would cause such a fuss, do you? But just because they've got a bit of negative feedback this 'Matt' has turned into some kind of monster with red veins popping out of his eyeballs. Pffft! And as for not sending in music to us - please ignore Matt, we listen to everything and if it's any good, no matter what genre, then we'll praise it. This is the show that had death metal band Malefice through to the final round in the Reading Festival competition.

Nev
What annoys me is when bands are criticised as being unoriginal and it being a negative thing. TO be honest I'd rather see a band who play decent music and entertain me than try to hard to be original and bore the pants of me. I think there too much emphasis placed on trying to be original. And there's too much critism on this message board come on berkshire lighten up and have some fun stop slagging off other peoples bands. If you don't like them fair enough but why feel the need to write it down on here?

Syd
Lu Cozma, a fantastic trip of the mind! Beautiful

C
Absolutely fine. Just don't come back!

matt - reply to neil
oh dear. i don't think people that come on this site have learnt how to read. did i ever actually mention that the blardy blars song having no more than 4 chords made the song bad? did i say anythin bad about the blardy blars? NO. i was just commenting on the fact that the 'judges' said that FTA were 'just slamming out power chords', which is bull****. jeez man read! this is the last comment im gonnna make on this thing so the last thing i'l say is that if you reading this are in a band or are a solo artist and thinking of sending your music into bbc berkshire's 'the session', DON'T! unless of course if the 'judges' change into people that actually know their stuff when it comes to music, or your music is the exact style of music that the judges want to hear, because if you are a genre that these ""judges"" don't like then you WILL be slagged off on air.

Lavrenti Beria - reply to Chris
.. But you're okay about me going into Berlin? Just thought I'd check! I'm thinking about building a nice little wall down the middle...

A Wandering Minstrel
Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling From glen to glen and down the mountainside That Matt's a dope and his brain cells are dying Why doesn't he just bugger off to Berkshire Live... I thank you...

Stephen Long
I don't know about anyone else, but I really like that song by Stephen Long. I'm going to vote for that one.

Lu Cozma Great song, beautiful voice

The Flanders Pigeopn Murderer
Hi Matt, after that last little vignette of yours why don't you go and have a nice lie down?

Reply to Lavrenti Beria
Thats fine if you don't like the First Among Equals music. No one is saying you are wrong for that, but what makes you so sure that you have heard more bands than we have had hot dinners? Thats a pretty dumb and ignorant comment! And to suggest that we are trying to sound like mega city four and senseless things - we sound nothing like them! I grew up with a blatent dislike for those bands and that genre of music in particular, so to start a band that tries to sound like them is not something I would ever do! Do your homework and listen to some modern punk rock and you'll discover where we are coming from. C

Neil
One, two, four, fourteen....It doesn't matter how many chords you have in a song. That's not what the judges were getting at. It's sssooooooooo obvious that the people moaning play or support one of the bands that didn't get their song played at the end of the show.......Woopy do. It's not the end of the world, and any band that can't take critisism or the thought of someone not liking their music shouldn't have sent their CD to the show in the first place. Three words: GET OVER IT

matt
cheers C. at least someone can see how useless the judges were last week. and by the way i'm not actually a friend of fta, i just know some of their music via their myspace! and what you said about it didnt make any sense whatsoever. its clear you have no idea what you're on about when it comes to judging music, you just have to entertain your listeners! if i remember correctly you said that feed the addiction were 'slamming out their power chords', like 'first guitar lesson stuff'. huh??? 'none the less' has 6 or 7 different sections (intro, intro 2, pre-verse, verse, pre-chorus, chorus, breakdown section, and ending), and i think it is well structured and written. whereas INFACT 'blardy blars' are the ones that are 'slamming out power chords' as their song has no more than 4 chords in it. ha! thank you. my point proved.

Lavrenti Beria - reply to Tom DW
Listen sunshine, I've listened to the First Among Equals website already and wasn't convinced. I've seen more bands than you've had hot dinners so I know what I'm talking about. Oh yeah, and calling someone who diagrees with you a "ladyboy" doesn't do you any favours! You are wartime Berlin, I am the advancing Soviet Army, watch your step!

The Lord Cedric to Kicks
Just got back from travelling the world making music, sorry for being away. It was my son who told me about this forum and your band, and as it would embarass him, I will not reveal who I am. I'm sorry to have upset you angry bunch of young men, especially as I thought I'd said I quite like your sound. You gotta take criticism a bit better than that, or you're done for. Needless to say, I will not be taking up your offer to check out your reworked tracks. I doubt I'll regret it.

simon cowell
is it me, or is it cleary obvious that the judges are critical so that you improve and become better as a band?? otherwise they would be saying utter **** is decent.

Nevaready
It's amazing how many people mistake opion for fact

C
Absolutely agree with you Matt - the judges on the panel seem way too over critical about anything other that what they want to listen to. Fire the crap judges and get some real music fans who know what they are talking about instead!

Linda BBC Berkshire - to 'Matt'
Matt - myself and demo panellist Annie know exactly 'what we're on about'. I suspect you're a friend of Feed The Addiction? We're not slagging off bands, we're in a demo panel where we give constructive criticism. Bands and friends of bands should just take it on the chin frankly. Fair enough if you disagree with us - it's all subjective after all - but don't go saying that we have no clue what we're on about. No need to throw your toys out the pram cos we said things you didn't want to hear!

matt
i wish the judges you put on your demo panel had a slight clue what they are on about! blardy blars are pretty average, nothing special. the wookies are alternative, not everyones cup of tea, but still a good band. and feed the addiction seem to be young lads starting off their career, and doing pretty damn well! blardy blars were winners tonight...fine. but no need to slag off two bands that are just as good if not better. john.

robert
how can blardy blars be the best band in reading? where were they at reading festival then? way too overated if you ask me!

glad to see you have rock and roll disco its a great tune!! blardy blars to win!!

Claire
The Wookies are by far the better band of the three this week. This song is proffesional AND beautiful - what more could you want eh? xxx

Tom DW
First Among Equals sound is actually quite good. If you look on the website all their stuff is so different. Hands up if you're the narrow-minded ladyboy who reckons they're unorginal after only hearing one of their songs? Check em out. I liked it!

blardly blars standards

Alan McGee
Blardy Blars are the best band in Reading right now-however BIG BELIEVER is their weakest track!!! Check out Rock N Roll Disco www.myspace.com/blardyblars

john leetch
personally i thought that Higher by rise was the best song of the evening due to the vocal technique,vocal changes and the way the chorus drops with the distortion!!! best of luck to Rise ive checked out their other tracks on my space and think they have the potential to take it all the way!

Phil Lynnott
Sorry, thought this was the bar...

Lavrenti Beria
Oi Chris! First Among Equals ARE unoriginal. Once upon a time there were bands like Mega City 4 and Senseless Things who used to do this sort of thing much, much BETTER!! Take heed or I'll send the KGB around!

C
First Among Equals rock!

Chris
Thanks to everyone who voted for First Among Equals. It's good to hear something different to Indie music for a change although amusing that they thought we were "unoriginal"! Listen to more of our songs at www.firstamongequalsrock.co.uk

i don't aggree with that decision regarding Feud, and they arent emo. they were by far the best band out of all of them!

Dave-o
Just listened to the show - 3 decent songs tonight, but Feud arent emo!! That song was punk!!!! I liked it!!

Paul
How absolutely ridiculous! The chorus to the winning song this week was a complete rip off of The Callings song "Wherever You Will Go", why was this not mentioned??????????

i like feud's song - how come i've never heard of these guys before?

Sadie
I think Proud Pilots a great new name! or maybe Bungalow! HHHHaaaaaaaa!!!

It's a shame!
It's a shame that you need to think uo another name...but on the plus side..your demo is by far the best this week...so, The View you get my vote...all the best for coming up with something new!

Tom
We're a different "The View". We're "The View" who has to think up a new name...

The Flanders Pigeon Murderer
Spear of Destiny?!?! Oi Elrond, aren't you showing your age a bit?

kicks to lord cedric
if you have worked in the industry for so long then you can't have had much success otherwise i don't imagine you would be hanging around writing on some crap local forum. look out for our myspace around end of october for our new mixed songs, think you'll be in for a suprise at what a difference it will have made.it doesn't matter how long you've been in the industry, someone who can play guitar could play all their life doesn't ever mean they'll be close to being hendrix.laters maestro

Red
The View are excellent, my favourite by far!

The View
Bob/Mark - We're in the process of agreeing on a new name - Unfortunately we've still got about 700 CDs left, pressed under The View. Very annoying :(

Pete - guitarist in The View
The View are in the charts but unfortunatly it's a different (and apparently very good - not heard it myself yet) band. Good luck to them! Still waiting for our cheque from Sony..... New name is now the subject of intense debate in the band. Any ideas gratefully received. http://www.herecomestheview.com/ Pete

The View (Deceased)
We found out about The (scottish) View the weekend we took delivery of 1000 cd's (which we need to sell) and despite having used and gigged the name for about 2 1/2 years it looks like we'll have to find another - all suggestions gratefully received (there might even be a prize for the best one). Needless to say Neutral Bob is not the first person to point out our predicament but thanks anyways for the condolances. The (Reading) View are dead - long live ......................?

to lord Cedric whereever and who ever you are???
Mate if your a big shot indusrty player then why leave messages on a local band site???? your not.... no it cant be.... surely not.... are you Barry manilow? i sure youve sold millions?? but until you say who you are we will just work with people who have!! laters cheeseball!!

neutral bob
is you gonna mention there is a band called the view already, there from dundee there on XFM all the time www.myspace.com/dryburgh the song wasted little DJ is a classic sorry to be the barrer of sad tiedings rock on reading !!!

Mark Goodier
Arent THE VIEW in the charts?????

Elrond
Frustrated tells us that the Private Idaho song is about mistreatment of Native Americans over the centuries. One dirgey Spear of Destiny tuck-up isn't going to do their cause much good..

Jenni Fizz
Want to vote but can't vote. Where are da buttons?Would have voted for The Elliotts if I could have. Does that mean that they've won?

Elrond
Bluedog still going? Surely you jest!

diego
I cant get my head around how awful some of these demos are. It seems to me that every week, the wrong band get put through. If Private Idaho think they are a serious band, im Tito Jackson! Very shoddy musicianship going on there and with the majority of the demo's.

Fustrated
Tried to vote yesterday and today but there are no voting buttons. It also says that the vote ends on Tuesday i.e. tonight at 5pm. Won't be many votes cast this week then! Glad to see the right band won last week. Shame the panel's main complaint against Private Idaho was that their song was slow. It's about the mistreatment of Native Americans over the centuries. What do you expext, a jaunty 200bpm disco track!

Kate Humble
I haven't gone to see them loads, I've been out when they've forced their racket upon my poor ears in bars around the town. I would not have gone to see them. let that be clear. One of their songs sounds like Rio though, which bought a smile to my face.

BJ Armstrong
Idaho all the way!

A
It's got to be Elle Milano, surely!

Thump Slutzy
Private Idaho get my vote and The drummer is also very good so put a chill pill in your pie Kate Humble.

Damien McFlurry III
Which begs the question why does Kate go and see Private Idaho so often? Back on topic, I think its a good variety of styles

Elmo
Private Idaho ROCKS!

Kate Humble
Private Idaho are not very good. I've seen them loads, even when they were called stone fly or something. the drummer really puts me off with his lazy drum bashing. Full of self important rock nonsense. The other two bands are not a lot better, but Elle Milano are the best of this weeks lot.

Jenni Fizz
Love the Private Idaho track. Moody, soulful and with a strong message too. Quality!

DEE
I thought Sophie Henderson's song was fab. I think we will be hearing a lot more from her. well done Sophie!

Scott Read
Absolutely superb song from sophie

Thom Hardy
Sophie Henderson has an amazing voice!! i saw her play live in Windsor last week. More acoustic material. Better than alone i think.

sandra
excellent listening to sophie henderson. wish her all the best in the future.

Mr Lexy
Oops too late to vote but I liked them all anyway so dont have to make a decision anyway :-) Pheweee

Colonel Sanders
I don't know what's happening here. Everytime the New Highs score goes up so does Sophies. Until she is just in the lead. Remarkable.

Ally
Sophie's Alone is as sweet as a badger! What a song.

Vince
Exit Tahiti got me the drunkest I've ever been in my life at Phatz once. Between every song the singer would say something so ridiculously cringeworthy i'd have to bury my face in a pint until he shut up...I ended up rolling around the floor in Tesco at 2am. If bands are cheating to get one song played on a local station then that's possibly the most pathetic thing i've heard this week. And I heard the new Razorlight song yesterday.

Robbie S
Are you listening to the same songs?The Idol Machine track blows away the others, the song is real lively keep it going!

I Carn't Spel
audio rineay he are not footapping tunes he are dull & boring and sownd lyke arctyc mownkeys tribute band..

Super Sluth
There is definately something fishy going on with this weeks vote. Sophie's vote at one stage yesterday was going up every minute. It's a shame but understandable for that small taste of exposure. Panel should just decide on their own.

barbara
its a shame everbody has to be so bitter without a doubt the best band won AUDIO RUNWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

R-The Man
Audio Runway did it because sometimes the right guys do win! Reading is pumping with them,London is humping! Don't miss the best- get em while the gigs r cheap!!!

Robbie Steffen
Three great artists this week! I've had the pleasure of playing with The New Highs and think they are a great band...Best of luck to all artists this week!! R

Tony
i do find it sad that some bands feel so insecure about themselves and their music that they need to resort to extreme measure in order to win the online vote.

Audio boy
If people criticising the AR boys would listen to the show; Audio Runway would have won by a mile anyway from Anna and Linda's votes regardless of the online voting. It was clear who the favourite track was!

Forget Audio runway. you people want to hear the sexboys, best new band about. pure sex

what a brilliant band audio rineay are i defy anybdy to sa he are not footapping tunes w

Captain Straightup
And Audio Runway are just jealous they can't write a decent tune & that's why they had to fix the vote. No idea why they have to put the other bands down as well though, quite funny considering how dull they are themselves. Yawn...

Audio Runway should be ashamed of themselves. Writing a script to give yourself 100 000 votes is one thing (I doubt the Big Brother site gets that much traffic in an hour)...turning that script on the other bands to pick their voting rate up and cover up Audio Runway's cheating is another! I think its really unfair on genuine fans to have to put up with this behaviour. Overall, music loses.

norrie nesbitt
the audio (hackers) run-a-way with the votes........

john smith
if you are down on the votes ask audio runway how to get the votes up without actually voting....

tony
the new highs song does it for me, although the SOPHIE HENDERSON song is very beautiful too..

kicks
david you're using one song as an example of the miliion that are out there you fool. nice one champ, obviously you should be running EMI. your breath stinks

scooby doo
Audio runway = Readings first Chav Band.

Malcolm Owen's Ghost
To Exit-Tahiti and Audio Runway, all that vote rigging just so you can have one lousy tune played on local radio? That's just sad!

HARRY
OVERNIGHT 60,000 OF EXIT TAHITI'S AMAZING FAN BASE WHO HAD MANAGED TO MISS THE DEADLINE WOKE UP AND VOTED, INCREDIBLE!

Cookie Monster
The level of cheating on the voting is getting ridiculous now. It's no longer a case of 'which demo is best' but which band are prepared to keep on deleting cookies so they can vote over and over again. At least 2 bands recently have been cheated out of winning by vote rigging. Just scrap the on-line voting and simply let the panel decide.

musicman
forget about the votes sometimes the music speaks for itself go Audio

flop a lob
thought the votes stopped at 5pm

barb
audio runway how can anybody not like them catchy footapping great songs with words you understand !!!

Kim
Audio Runway. It's just the way it is!

Shaz
can't believe you did it . good luck audio, hope it happens!

alby
nice 1 looking forward to linda on sunday

Nanka
Audio Runway obviously can dance! love the track, keep doing wat ur doing- it works 4 me.

marky mark
just been on all three websites, looking forward to seeing audio 2moro in london, was not fair on the other bands as class always stands out.

james
go Audio - listened to the others and their was only one choice

seeker121
about time the right band won, seen them at the fez, purple turtle and newbury festival, send me the tickets for wembley

Lord Cedric
I'm a stain am I? now that is rude. You might have noticed I'm not going by my real name, I hate to boast, but I doubt you'd say that if you knew who I was. Having worked in the industry for well over twenty years (as both artist and producer)I've seen people expect the impossible from producers. It will always be about the song.FACT. Sure, a producer can make a massive diffference (just think about Screamadelica), but it's not enough on its own. Self belief and passion go a long way, but your attitude will not help to further your career, of that I can assure you.

bill oddie
rub that beard all over my body

tony blair
i thought the competition ended at 5pm?

FairPlay
15 minutes after poll closes and still votes coming in at 100 a minute. Friendly virus writing anyone?

George Bush
80,000 votes out of nowhere! If I were doing a third term I'd get you guys to "manage" the voting system for me

Liam ob
correct audio runway are the mutz

Mr.Suspicious
Audio Runway - boys are you running some sort of VB script to get the votes so high? i dont think you know that many ppl?

Sergeant Benton
Exit Tahiti and Idol Machine are great news for insomniacs.

P S Roberts
Fred Evans means Exit Tahiti. your supposed to vote on the right, click exit tahiti then click vote. Hope you all do the same, come on !

Stoink
Go the dark horse!

the reading voice...
lots of votes - are they all legit ?

Russell
Falling is a great tune, nice sound

roger
audio runway must have a lot of fans.

Bodger-the-badger
My, Audio Runway must be incredibly well-liked. How many unknown bands are popular enough to get 2000 votes overnight? It's almost unnatural!!!

Davina McCall
the audio runway band have had more votes that the BB house. would you like to be contestants in next years show??

Steven
Audio Runway must be really popular. 2,000 votes in less than 24 hours, and 100 of those in the last 15 minutes. Not that I'm suspect or anything... They look like a great band.

Fred Evans
Very good creative band

teh daver
Vote Exit Tahiti!

david
kicks, get you head out of ur asses. You talk bull. Just look at mr slims verion of cornershops song. Did u ever hear the original.

Alison Starr
Exit Tahiti are sounding unusually sweet - could they be the dark horse of the competition? I had a look at their myspace site today - seems they're a brand new band (with a sound I haven't heard before)!!

Tony from exit tahiti
the MORNING LANE track is outstanding!!!

Zinedine Zidane
Vote for audio runway or i'll headbutt you

exit tahiti's number 1 fan
Exit Tahiti are amazing!!!!

Wicked Mike
EXIT TAHITI makes for a cool soundtrack to a mellow intention.

The Flanders Pigeon Murderer
At last! Audio Runway make an appearance... Hurrah!

Albert
Audio runway - great track. Wierd band name but what can you do!!!!!!!

wendy)'brein
audio runway i cant dance

JC
What a farce! Not much point going to Reading festival now Syrus aren't going to be there. They rock!

Dianne
Kicks are fab - come on boys!

sooth
Didn't Jacksons Corner split up 3 years ago, still a damn fine band though, even if one of 'ems a ginger...

Elrond
Thanks "neutral bob", someone who thinks the way I do about Jacksons Corner... COME ON THE KICKS!!

neutral bob
as a neutral which is what i am i would have to say the other jacksons corner and syrus are no better then pub bands at best in fact jacksons corner sound like a name of a pub they may have a "local" following but there is a bigger world out there than reading kicks seem to have really good songs i checked them on myspace and they had 4 top tunes maybe when you have written some tunes you can start shouting about yourselfs and lord cedric dan and rob copper obvously wouldnt know a good tune if it bit them on the ass think bigger guys think bigger laters readingistas

kicks
Oh, so once the tracks are mixed by a big name producer the songs, the words, music and structure will change? Mental. no you stain, it wont change the structure or the words but of course it will change the sound. do you not know the difference between a demo and a finished song? why do you think record companies pay producers/mixers up to 10 grand a track if it doesn't make that much of a difference??it must be a good enough song to if a guy who has just won a grammy is wanting to work with us. you got a grammy winner working with you??

Dan
Oh, so once the tracks are mixed by a big name producer the songs, the words, music and structure will change? Mental.

Lord Cedric
how rude are you, not Rob Cooper? "keep your noise down" anyway, if you're relying on a mix to make it any good you're onto a loser there boy. It's about the tune, simple as that. No amount of polishing can improve some tunes. I actually thing your sound is very "now" and not in a bad way, it's pretty good. Just simmer down and get writing some more....go on, away with you, do it now.(kids these days......)

not rob cooper
we write music for us and not the time. we are not little fadsters wearing skinny jeans and scarfs in nightclubs & we sound nothing like current bands especially in reading so how you can associate us with the current scene is confusing. take another listen when the tracks have been mixed by simon gogerly (grammy award winner for mixing how to dismantle an atomic bomb -U2). then let us know what you you think. until then keep your noise down

Rob Cooper
Based on the songs it's apparent Jacksons Corner are head and shoulders above the the others, The Kicks are o.k but I think the problem with sounding "now" is by by the time you get signed you sound "last year". I respect bands like J.C, not afraid to wear their influences on there sleeve, while still making great music.

John Maher
I am unable to vote for my favourite band (Jackson's Corner) dunno why. Can someone do it for me?

The Horse Brigade
I'm in a made up band, I just invented us (but believe me, we ROCK!!). If I was a real band I'd want to sound just like Jackson's Corner, maybe at a push Kicks. I would break up the band and go and work down a mine if we sounded anything like Syrus. So, I'm thinking we should all vote for Jackson's Corner...yes?! they have my vote!!

Jessica W
Jacksons Corner, whoever is pretending to be me and saying blood blister is a fool. jay see, jay see, jay see.

Jenny
Jacksons Corner are a wicked band, I hope they get to play Reading.

Jessica W
Hey hey!! Ive seen Blood blister live and i think they are a really good band and deserve to play reading come on boys!

Jim
I just registered my vote for the Hey Hey by the mighty Jacksons Corner. About time there was some decent rock n roll in Reading.

Ponyclub
Dave- I am with you. Jackson's Corner are great and Reading will be a better festival with them playing.... More secret gigs please boys! Vote Jackson's!

Dave
Long Live Jacksons Corner, I'm getting excited. I kind of know the lads and know they've never stop playing, they all still knock about and jam together and they played a drunk gig in The Nags Head a few months back. If any ones listening. THEY SHOULD PLAY READING FESTIVAL. They're a beast of a live band, and they've got great tunes. Also thanks to PONYCLUB for the myspace address.

Dougie
Has anyone heard of a band called THE FURZE? I think they are from Maidenhead. Well I saw them in London and they were amazing!! I think they have a single out soon (not sure) I know there website is www.thefurze.net Check them out.

Ponyclub
Listen to 'She's the One' on: http://www.myspace.com/jacksonscorner

Greg
Jacksons Corner are definitly the best, I saw them supporting the Cooper Temple Clause and Eighties Matchbox and they just blew everyone away. I hope to god this means their making a come back. And pony club, thanks for the myspace tip "She's the One" is still my favourite.

Marie
Jacksons Corner BY FAR.

the rat
in my heart i am slightly ashamed for voting for syrus but i am one of their friends so what can i say. jacksons & kicks are both excellent. i'm off to flog myself for being bad.

Gill
So I'm thinking we should all vote for Syrus...yes?! They have my vote!!

Dandy Botham
Three bands who are at least all OK, unusual. I saw Jacksons Corner when they played live some time ago and they are a very good band, The Kicks are also very good, with a very current sound, I'll be checking them out for sure. Syrus are OK I guess, not my thing really, but that's hardly their fault! well done to all, and I hope this demo thing carries on. Music is good, on that I think we can all agree.

The Hawk
without doubt Jacksons Corner are the best. I do believe they no longer exist as a band, which is a shame. This shows they had something special, and all those people voting for the others bands must, somewhere in their hearts, know this. They are probably a little ashamed, and they should be. Also Desdemona were so much better than Asono, who sounded like some terrible early 90s grunge-lite nonsense. It makes it clear it's all about getting your friends to vote rather than people's true opinions. a shame really. I'll still vote for the Corner though, not that it'll make any difference.

Ponyclub
Jackson's Corner are amazing! Check out their myspace site- http://www.myspace.com/jacksonscorner loads more great stuff on there!

Neutral Bob
As a neutral i have to say the jacksons corner are the best Obviously syrus have been getting there freinds and famerly to vote because neutrally speaking they are no way near as good as jacksons tune and remember i a neutral so that makes me impartial i am just a neutral guy who listens to music and is in no way conected to a band involved in this contest cheers bob the music

Alicia
Go The Kicks!!! I luv em!!

Tom
Blood Blister!

olly-Blood Blister
Check out Blood Blister, we're young (drummer-14, guitarist 16, lead singer/bassist 17) and were thrash metal...Thanks, it would be really appreciated :)

The Flanders Pigeon Murderer
Agree with Elrond. Also, the Kicks have far better songs than the one you chose to play.

Jack Brentin
Syrus are gsh and Michelle is a tool!

Elrond
What was the point of a demo panel this week if you're not going to review them for another month?

Fio
It's gotta be SYRUS... it's just gotta be..!! All the way! xx

Vanda
Love 'em all! Vote for Syrus!!!

Catwoman
Vote for kicks! mwah love mark! hee hee love you xXx

Sanjeev Sangha
Syrus's tuen is excellent

tim davis
THe Kicks!

Hugh Goldsmith
Kicks are an amazing band, they first came to my attention when i was at innocent. Now as part of BMG we have watched them develop into something breathtaking. They are headed for big things in 2007.

charlie
asono-awesome band. heard them just about on sunday whilst the signal died! they were great.sure a bit formulaic but for 18 year olds they were brilliant-bring on Slash the second!!

Rabbi Estevez
How on earth can Syrus get such a big wedge of the vote after a day or so? Just wait 'til I report this to the Elders of Zion...

Woody
Listened to the show. Asono sounded even better on the radio. Found them on myspace and found out it's not even their best song, (in my humble opinion) Great band! Certainly worth a look up, but shame you can't download.

Reply to reply to Tiff
DiMaggio's wife rock!!

A
Vote for The Kicks! Excellent band.

chungster.
I've just heard the syrus track and it's amazing. Hopefully see you guy's at Reading.

B
I've been to see Syrus live and they're fantastic. Please vote for them guys - they're really great!

Karen
DJ Steele has obviously no taste in music

an old rocker
Heard the show over the net for first time - wish more radio channels would do this to help new bands. Asono were good, 18/19 year olds? Amazing! Liked the others, too, but well done Asono. A deserved win, hope you play the song again and again...

john
Just stumbled on your station on the net - this band are great - really like their sound - can you play some more of their stuff?

k8
Asono are a GREAT band! I give them my vote!!!!!

sweetstuff
the suspense is killing me...

Van
Asono is good but Dimaggio's sound is so totally different. Lets hear Dimaggio's Wife.

nuj
Rock is Dead Berkshire is a night club tub of doom!

Mr. Stalk
You guys wait until The Vice get one of their songs on this site, they truely rock, and have serious berkshire pride! Lets see what happens!

Jess Ross
I think Asono Rock! Love the intro to one man army, powerful and catchy. X

reply to tiff
di maggios song is da worst one, i dont wanna hear it!!

John Lewis
With a name like Beavis, I think you should think carefully about what you say!!

Jake B
Just a hunch Annabell, but I reckon asono are in the lead with the vote because their song is actually the best this week!! The start is in time and the singing isn't out of tune...Shame about Desdemona not being able to play their song tho...

andrew
Nonsambulist were cool, but my vote goes to Asono, cant really get into dimagg

Laura D
Guys, it's all getting a little bit bitchy!! Chill out... love the tracks, especially Asono-lead singer has a sexy voice!!

David
Nonsambulist - great name, great song!

Nevster
The Desdemona song is fabulous!!

zac
Boo! The Desdemona link didn't work until earlier today, no wonder we're losing! It can't actually be that PEOPLE DON'T LIKE US, can it? Boo! Right, better start deleting cookies and revoting! Only joking!

Danny
I tried to vote for Asono and apparently dimaggios wife got the vote x20. How can this be right? and even more confusing is the fact that Asono dont even get the vote!!!???

jean charles
morning lane get my vote bravo!!!!

beavis
I think they all need to work on their band names

Dave Slinger
Can you please play 'This means War' by Disguys. It rocks.

A
yay, vote for the Dezzies!

TIFF
DI MAGGIOS IS DA BEST SONG I WANNA HEAR IT!!!!!!

Caroline
Di Maggios wife are fab fab fab - what a lovely fresh voice - how can I hear more of there stuff.

LeeB
The Asono track is a quite heavy for my usual taste but can't get it out of my head. So here I am, back for the 4th time today....

Paul D
ASONO - go and see them! Brilliant young entertaining rock band with refreshing sound.

Harvey
Good Stuff this week. Love Asonos song-cool solo in the middle too!!

Jake B
Asono's track is wicked!! the others are cool too-like nancy i can't get Desdemona to play. Anyway, Asono sounds awesome-like aerosmith but better!!

strange
Isn't the competion for Berkshire based bands? Morning Lane are based in Hackney! Are bands being vetted and is the voting being monitored? If not, why not.

Annabell
Why have Asono got so many votes??! I smell a rat...

Caron Cronin
I love 'Thrill is gone'from Brock and the Badgers Superb lead guitar and drumming. Lead singer has an amazing voice.

Nancy
I've been able to listen to Dimaggios wife, who I think are rather good too, and Asosno, but the Desdemona link won't play!

billie-joe
di maggios wife are fantastic.dig that funky rythem

gigi
miow bring on the compitition.brilliant song di maggios wife.

ellisibub
di maggios wife are very unique id love 2 go and see them play.very good vocals and the drumming is great

Chris H
Love the Di Maggio's Wife track. A refreshingly different blend of bitter sweet vocals with a grungy backing. Where can I get to see them or hear some more?

lewis
groin grabbingly good lyrics

Ian Bryce
I have seen brock and the badgers at the the Duke of Connaught and man the guys can play! By far the most virtuoso individuals on the scene, and they all hold their corner. I think the bass player is only 18, but what a prodigy!!

coldplay
morning lane r rubbish

andy summers
greaaaatttt

Zara
woohoo! ^_^ yay for Through snowy Static

jo johnson
I've seen Brock and the Badgers at several Windsor venues (they hold the house records at several, I believe). Accomplished individual musicians with a great sense of humour, not taking themselves too seriously. Obviously the BBC chose 'Thrill is gone' because it's the only 3 minute song they do, 80% of their material being both longer and original. Exciting live band with strong fan base, who are both masters of improvisation and curiously very popular with other musicians.

Rusty
Its a shame that the vote appears to have been rigged! Personally I thought the Holy Cowbell song deserved to win.

roz turley
my vote goes to brock and the badgers there was no voting panel on the right of the page!

Mikey
Hooray for through snowy static

DJ Steele
These brock & badgers guys must have someone sitting at a computer somewhere just voting them in. There is NO WAY their music is better that either of the other 2 bands. Not only are they doing a cover, their doing a rubbish job at it. Come ON, people around here have better taste than that!!

Ryan Wicks
I have been listening to these demos for a long time now, and never have we had anything quite as good as theholycowbells, they could go far trust me.

Jim longley
refreshing

Mike Green
I saw Brock and the Badgers in Axminster E. Devon - they were great

Dean Somers
Brock & the Badgers by a county mile! These guys are fantastic, I've seen them live and they are genuinely superb. Great show by the way.

Rich Martin
Nice tunes! Holy Cowbell rock the heard. Udderly fantastic.

DAVE GARRETT
EXELLENT RENDITION OF BB KING CLASSIC LOADS OF ENERGY WHAT ELSE DO THEY DO ?? WHERE CAN I SEE THEM PLAY ??

Miss Shelley Carter, Bray
It got me Rocking around my computer. How about some more airplay during the day

Nicky Horne
I LOVE IT !!!!!!!

Ian Thompson
Proper Guitar Very Enjoyable

Stella Rodgers
Awesome guitar playing - shame we don't hear quality like this more often

Paul Rodgers
Just excellent - so much passion....amazing lead guitar...Will buy it today

Jean Johnson
Wow, I really like that HolyCowbell song. The girl's got a great voice & the guitarist is FANTASTIC! I listened to last weeks song and I have to say, don't EVER play that Disguys band. They're booooring!

Delores Miller
I'm from NY & was in the UK a few years back visiting some friends. They took me to the Rising Sun to see this local band- Holy Cowbell. I was blown away. They were as good or better than many of the local bands here in Brooklyn. Well worth the time to see them.

Nick Gough
HOLYCOWBELL get my vote - and not just because 'Behind Your Eyes' is a fine song, but when i've seen them live they really fly!

havvers
holy cowbell rock my world.

Jenni Fizz
Holy Cowbell are rifftastic.

Nick
I like Untitled by Through Snowy Static although I wish they would change the name of their group to Through Snowy Skies because it sounds so much more wonderful like their music.

heather
through snowy static deserve to be picked up by a big name because they have such potential!! they really do

Andrew @ No Order records
Through Snowy Static ha gotta win, they cn pull it off live too.

sara
awesome

Becky Hopton
through snowy static well and truelly rock my socks. If anyone deserves to get their demo played, its them. The amount of support they have on myspace shows how great they can become just given the chance.

Kim
has to be through snowy static-untitled

Jez
That Through Snowy Static song's a bit alright!

Jack Margerison
Through snowy static to win!

ema.molley.
through snowy static are awesome!!and dont you lot forget that!

Topher
97 percentile! GAN ON!! kalimoto unlucky.
