About BandWars
BandWars was launched in MusicDish in October 1999 as a competition to highlight the best
independent bands featured in the MusicDish e-Journal. Since then,
there have been 20 BandWars champions, many of whom are among
the premier indie bands of the Internet in terms of fan following
and promotional success.
What People Are Saying About BandWars
"We're really excited to have won this competition. I think
you guys have been the first to really make an "on-line" battle of the bands
a legitimate competition. Your voting process is such that it reduces the
"popularity contest" effect that so many on-line voting processes are
subject to, by ensuring all votes are linked to a legitimate e-mail address.
It is also easy enough that it helps ensure those fans that want to vote can
actually take a minute to do so. We have been involved in many on-line
battle of the bands and are happy to be associated with yours."
-- 7 minds, BandWars champion
"Thanks to everyone at Musicdish, the contest
sponsors and all of the other contestants that participated.
And, of course, thanks to our fans, friends and family for
their support. We've witnessed some bleak times in this
business and it's nice to know that hard work can pay off;
we are incredibly encouraged and honored to win Musicdish's
1st Bandwars Battle Royale."
-- God the Band, BandWars Battle Royale champion
"BandWars continues to grow
rapidly as the virtual battle of the bands among the
independent scene around the Web. CDstreet is excited
to be a founding member of this crew and look forward to
more exciting competition in the coming year. We plan to
continue and in fact, expand our participation in this great
music project."
-- Glenn Gomez, President of cdstreet.com
"MusicDish BandWars made me realize how many people
love & support me. Although I came in the 3rd place, over a
1,000 people casted their vote for me and this is pretty
damn good! Thank you, MusicDish, for such a great exposure
opportunity."

"I have been thrilled to be a part of such
a talented group of artists who are working hard to become
recognized for the music that pours from their souls and
touches as many people as they can reach on an independent
level. Congratulations to all of the artists who were
involved. We are all winners in my mind, for continuing to
work so hard in an industry that seems impossible at times!
And a great big, huge thanks to Sounni and all the people at

hell of a ride and I feel proud to have been a part of it
all this year!"

proved what we already knew -- that independent music is alive and thriving
on the Internet."
