Battle Of The Bands - Round 10

What's that?  The urge for pulling hair, slapping and hand bags at dawn has returned?  Must be time for the fortnightly Battle Of The Bands in which fellow Glasgow blogger Kowalskiy and I face each other in the exalted arena of Top Trumps.  It all went down on Wednesday on Twitter, so if you like tension and tweets then have a read using the #battleofthebandsround10 hashtag.

In case you've forgotten, Round 9 saw things level out again at 4 wins a piece, and a draw in Round 1, meaning coming into Round 10 the scores on the doors were 5-5.  Helping me gain victory were lovely lasses TeenCanteen, whilst Kowalskiy had gone for solo star Arran Arctic.

Round 10 sees two brand new fighters step into the ring, as Kowalskiy and I choose two new bands and fight over their respective stats.  In team Scottish Fiction this time round is my favourite bearded singer songwriter... Shambles Miller!  Whilst across the ring stands The Winter Tradition.  Ready to fight?

Haud yer horse!  First up here's the standard reminder of the rules.  And our artists all important vital statistics.

The battle began with Kowalskiy plumping for SoundCloud Tracks, given that The Winter Tradition boys had what must have seemed like a healthy 19.  However bolsters by his latest song 'Chris Brown Is A C***' Shambles won the point for Team Scottish Fiction with a massive 23 SoundCloud Tracks.  0-1 to Scottish Fiction.

Make or break time as we all know the second point is all important.  Staying with online attributes, Kowalskiy chose Twitter Follow Ratio, and The Winter Traditions 1.58 over Shambles Miller's 1.22, means the point went their way.  Even stevens,

Tensions often run high during Battle Of The Bands, but none higher than this last round.  I was hoping David would chose either Average Age or Band Name Scrabble Score and lo' behold he went for the latter.  Confident that Shambles score of 23 would hold up, the crushing disappointment began to sink in when David revealed that The Winter Tradition had pipped us by two points.  TWO POINTS!

Which means the balance is now tipped 6-5 in Kowalskiy's favour.  Until next week of course!

The Winter Tradition released their latest single 'Tides And Telegrams' complete with epic windswept video.  It's taken from their début album 'Gradients', which is out now folks.  Go get it!



Our favourite bearded singer-songwriter Shambles Miller put out his official début single 'Confessions' earlier this year, which we loved, and hosts a weekly open mic night every Sunday at the Vespbar in Glasgow.
