With the deadline for entries now over the judges @carboluka @TaintedLogic & @ChronoNomad may now begin the judging process.
HO HO HOPE you become a Newgrounds Supporter this year!
We're working hard to give you the best site possible, but we have bills to pay and community support is vital to keep things going and growing. Thank you for considering!

Let's get it.
Okay, I'm sorry but this track was definitely not made specifically for the Battle of the Bands. Even if this user actually was a part of the band at some point, this line in particular from the Author Comments clearly invalidates the legitimacy of their eligibility: "Performed by Hotel Arcadia, recorded in Ozzy Island, 1999."
What's your hot take, @Flamadour? I'll move on to the other tracks for now.

The optimistic part of me wants to think that this is just something the author made up for flavor. Based on his user page, @Zip-Zap-Official wasn't even born yet in '99. Would love to hear Zip-Zap's side of the story.

My band is a project based on a story I'm writing, this wasn't actually from 1999 lol

Probably something that should have been included in the Author's Comments to avoid this kind of situation. Vetting the entrants is logically part of the process, after all.
Out of curiosity, are the named participants in the band actual people? Or is it all just part of the mystique?

In future it would be best to clarify in the author comments that the song was made entirely by you.

Wow, holy shit! Can’t believe we won, especially with how good everyone’s submissions were this year.
It’s been a really rough couple days with university stuff (found out in the middle of an anime studies lecture and had to resist the urge to do shrieking in class), so finding out we did so well is a really lovely pick me up. Thanks so much all!

I've messaged Tom about the results so you should receive the prize money soon. Again congratulations on winning this year's Battle of the Bands.
Oh snap, I missed 3rd place by half a point. Congrats to the winners!
DM me if you want a review!
Congrats to those that won and all the other entries for their creations, and thanks for those hosting/judging this event! It was a fun new experience for me and thanks to those who listened to my song and gave some feedback! I would definitely consider participating in another one of these in the future!
