Carnage at LawRocks as Squire Sanders snatches victory

The quality of the bands last night was excellent, congratulations to all. I think the 'judge' protests too much. Rather than mob rule, the audience was surprised that the band Big Ghost, who were very heavy but absolutely outstanding on the night, created a barnstorming performance and were not fairly treated by a panel that clearly did not like heavy rock. Sounds like music that comes out of a 12 year old boys bedroom was one comment. Rather than 'Law Rocks', I would say it was more 'Law Pop' and the most genuine Rock Band found that its brand of rock was too heavy for the tastes of the panel. I am guessing that had Big Ghost played Bon Jovi, Darkness, Queen, AC/DC then they might have had a chance. Instead, as befitted the 100 club, one of the first venues to showcase punk rock, there was no compromise - it was out and out rock, played with attitude and the highest levels of musicianship.
