Season 5 New artist voting!

 
  • Season 5 New artist voting!

    Hello and welcome to the voting for new artists for Season 5!

    In Season 4 the bottom 5 artists from Division Four face relegation... but they have one last change to save themselves. They have to beat one of the 5 new artists to the league, which are voted for, by you!

    So here you will need to vote for up to FIVE artists that meet the following criteria:

    1. The Artist is British. This means they are in some way linked to England, Scotland or Wales, but NOT Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland/Eire. The Irish Rock League has taken over the Northern Irish reins (although Ash remain ours). All members of a band may be from Britain, for instance like Muse. Or they may be from another country even, but moved to Britain to start their music careers, for instance Placebo. I think one rule I am going to go with is to say that if an artist is somewhat British but more from another country, which is represented by a league of its own, then I'll let them take the artist on instead.

    It will ultimately be up to me as to whether a band is considered British, and what I say goes.

    2. The artist is not already in the British Rock Artists League or any other league. Self explanatory, but note that those who were relegated in seasons before are eligible to be chosen too. Here follows a list of the artists already in the league:

    Amplifier
    Anathema
    Arctic Monkeys
    Ash
    Bauhaus
    Belle and Sebastian
    Biffy Clyro
    Black Sabbath
    Bloc Party
    Blur
    Buzzcocks
    Camel
    Carcass
    Coldplay
    Cream
    David Bowie
    Deep Purple
    Dire Straits
    Editors
    Elbow
    Feeder
    Foals
    Franz Ferdinand
    Genesis
    Gorillaz
    Iron Maiden
    Jethro Tull
    Joy Division
    Judas Priest
    Kaiser Chiefs
    Kasabian
    Keane
    King Crimson
    Klaxons
    Led Zeppelin
    Lostprophets
    Manic Street Preachers
    Marillion
    Mogwai
    Motörhead
    Muse
    My Dying Bride
    Napalm Death
    Oasis
    Oceansize
    Paradise Lost
    Pink Floyd
    Placebo
    Porcupine Tree
    Primal Scream
    Pulp
    Queen
    Radiohead
    Rainbow
    Sex Pistols
    Slowdive
    Snow Patrol
    Stereophonics
    Suede
    T.Rex
    The Beatles
    The Clash
    The Cure
    The Damned
    The Fratellis
    The Futureheads
    The Jam
    The Jesus and Mary Chain
    The Kinks
    The Kooks
    The Libertines
    The Police
    The Rolling Stones
    The Sisters of Mercy
    The Smiths
    The Stone Roses
    The Verve
    The Who
    Travis
    Yes

    Also, as said in the bolded bit, they also cannot be in other leagues. This is possible if artists have several nationalities or claims to other countries in them. An example would be Jimi Hendrix, who is in the American Rock League, but could have also qualified for the British Rock Artists League if we got him first.

    Again, all decisions will be made by me and be final.

    3. The artist is some form of rock act. This could mean rock, alternative rock, punk rock, post-rock, hard rock, metal, heavy metal, progressive metal, progressive rock, singer songwriters, ska, etc, etc. We all know there are so many different types. I think the rule I am going to use is that if they use guitar for the majority of the time, then they can be considered rock. This does rule out synthesiser based bands, which is different from what I said before, but I think that's a whole new world of pop that isn't wholly relevant to rock.

    Again, all decisions will be made by me and be final.

    Please post if you want any of this clarifying.


    Also, please note:

    Please post your artist in the form of a link, which you can do by putting artist tags round them, eg [*artist]Muse[/artist*] (but without the asterisks). This will help me by being able to more quickly see where the artist is from and what sort of music they play.

    Remember, you can pick only five artists. If you want to pick less, that's up to you. If you pick more than five, I will just take the first five valid artists as the ones you mean. If you specify artists that don't meet the above criteria, I will tell you this and give you the opportunity to change your vote. You may change your vote at any time after posting, but what it is when I do the final count will be what matters.

    I know there will be people wanting a certain artist in desperately. I encourage those of you in that mind to get as many fellow fans on board! I encourage this as it makes it more competitive and it will also get more voters on board ;)

    Voting will close on the 21st July. This is subject to change though.

    I will try to update the vote as it happens, and I will post that here!

    So, enjoy voting for your new artists!
