Hi, maybe I can be of some assistance
An anonymous fellow wrote, "Does this mean my single entry could have been multiplied if I "disbanded" and reentered another song under a different band name?"
I think it's ridiculous to insinuate that the Stairs broke up so that they could enter two songs in this contest. That's absurd. The reason The Stairs broke up was only slightly more valid: half of the band was suddenly accepted to out-of-state graduate schools. Two of the members of that band went on to form Hallelujah The Hills. Evan Sicuranza, the author of The Stairs' "Welcome To Confusion", is NOT in Hallelujah The Hills.
I know this because I wrote the song "Hallelujah The Hills" and was instructed to do so while I was tied to a tree in the middle of a Massachusetts forest one night following a particularly exhilirating band practice.
I clued Evan into the existence of this contest but we entered our own songs seperately. Ironically, I also told Eli Reed, our competition this week, about this contest and he may very well end up beating us. So you can't blame me for spreading the word about this contest because I told friend and possible-competition-alike.
While Evan and I have been accused of sharing the same brain for years now, I am here to tell you that we are indeed both seperate, sentient beings with different goals, hopes, and dreams. Insinuating otherwise is not only ill advised...it's downright un-American.
