Many different genres were heard ranging from Art Rock Christian Rock, Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, World Music etc each and every band used their 8 minutes and two songs to their utmost. The standard of the competition was high with most of the bands performing excellent original songs. Stage presence and style were two very important criteria for the Judges and it is exactly in this area where we will be working hard for next year’s entries.
