Battle is over. Good luck to both.

Like Magic Ship. Good old school rock.

Fare Evaders good too. But more indie band.

No need to be not nice about older band just because of ages young peoples. Listen with ears not with eyes.

Glad i stumbled across this battle. Just listened to both bands. And so glad i found Fare Evaders, Im keeping my eye on them, such a good young band.

Hope they win !

ps. The Magic ship song sounds like a bad version of the song off School of Rock !

I don’t understand for one moment how anybody can say that Fare Evaders lack originality and that Magic ship don’t ?

Im not saying Fare Evaders are original, However i do think they are a bit different to a lot of the bands around now. But surely to God you can’t think that Magic ship are that good, can you ? I mean fairly average run of the mill songs. Nothing too them. A bunch of older men playing generally quite boring songs.
Or an energetic fresh young band nocking out really good songs. I think the best of them is yet to come aswell. It says in a comment that they are only 17 ! This is really good music for 17 year old boys, they’re still kids !

And as for the person who cracked the joke about Fare Evaders. Sounds like scousers to me. then goes on to talk about taking drugs at a Magic ship gig. Im not from Liverpool and im not sticking up for scousers, but surely taking drugs is worse than not paying for a ticket ?

I just think the comment about people on here being to scared to give a young band a chance is totally true. Theres only one band in this for me. And its got to be Fare Evaders.

Fare Evaders? Sounds like typical scousers.

Magic Ship all the way for me, the drugs at their concerts a way better
