    Reboot the robot all the way!! They deserve to win this contest.

    • valspace September 1, 2010 at 8:35 pm -

      I am so glad you turned me on to them Ash! They so deserve this!

  2. RTRmusic September 1, 2010 at 6:36 pm -

    Well we had about five people who tried to vote and its not working for them. They cant see the poll. Admin can you do something to fix this!?

    • admin September 1, 2010 at 7:13 pm -

      The polls are run by Ajax, so that means there’s a good chance the people trying to view the polls have java disabled, or don’t have java installed on their browser.

  3. ashleyroman September 1, 2010 at 9:43 pm -

    Does anyone find it weird that anytime someone gets two votes close to So Contagious that they go up by one or two votes? They HAVE to be using some sort of program or cheating. That and the fact they were 5th place and out of nowhere went up to 1st. Admin you really need to look into things.

    • ashleyroman September 1, 2010 at 9:43 pm -

      They dont move up unless the band is super close to their score.. Seems fishy to me.

    • bettyblitz September 1, 2010 at 9:51 pm -

      they have tons of fans that are spreading the word and they are promoting like crazy. its all the fans man.

    • malachicoberley September 2, 2010 at 1:39 pm -

      haha you need to calm down, they just keep updating thier facebook and myspace letting know that they are barely i the lead and need more people to vote for them. they are a band, not computer hackers.

    • kaylabeth1546 September 2, 2010 at 2:41 pm -

      REALLY GROW THE FUCK UP! JUST BECAUSE THE BAND YOU WANT TO WIN IS LOSING BY 2 VOTES, DOESNT MEAN YOU CAN TALK SHIT. THE SO CONTAGIOUS BOYS ARE PROMOTING LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER, ALL DAY EVERYDAY! AND THEIR FANS ARE PROMOTING TOO. NOBODY IS CHEATING HERE. ITS IMPOSSIBLE, THE WEBSITE CHECKS YOUR IP ADDRESS… STOP BEING A BITCH!

    • jennifer33 September 3, 2010 at 11:34 am -

      So contagious is awesome :) ! They have amazing fans thats all!!

    • barrt September 4, 2010 at 7:02 pm -

      they have a lot of fans! that’s why. ellos tienen fans hasta en argentina ;)

  4. ashleyroman September 1, 2010 at 10:02 pm -

    I doubt thats from their fans… Its just way too weird. Your score doesnt go up EVERYTIME somebody gets close by two or three points then doesnt move at all when its less then that.

    • admin September 1, 2010 at 10:55 pm -

      Actually, it is mostly from their fans, I just went in and cleaned it up and they were only about 6 off from what it was actually. People keep trying to trick the polls, but we can see it. We just need to weed through it at the end of each day.

    • ashleyroman September 1, 2010 at 11:02 pm -

      Yeah.. at the end there it would just keep going up whenever anybody got closer… didnt seem right.

    • Noless September 2, 2010 at 1:14 pm -

      I l;ove the fact that when the band your “rooting” for is not ahead you automaticly think there is foul play, think about it…….The average person on facebook or myspace, has the average of 200 plus friends, now if you acually promote your band….you know like they did back in the day….that is alot of votes from alot of friends and a good chance some of them voted within the same time vicinity(I know i need spell check). my band only has 57 votes and i have like 300 frineds on fb, so if our numbers shoot up, dnt be surprised. have a nice day

    • thepimppancake September 4, 2010 at 4:36 pm -

      So Contagious has an event for this on facebook and they got like 600 people “attending” so its probably just people finally taking the time to get around to voting… the way i see it you should be lucky they didn’t all vote at the same time and blow the band you want to win out of the water…

  5. LikeTrainwrecks September 2, 2010 at 5:18 am -

    If anyone dislikes us because of what our fans have been posting on here I’m sorry. I’d appreciate it if you disliked us because we’re not good.

    • admin September 2, 2010 at 9:49 am -

      Here at AMP we’ve come quite fond of Like Trainwrecks, and all of their Like Trainwreckers.

  6. hannahbaylee September 2, 2010 at 8:45 am -

    So Contagious’ fans rock!!! Keep voting and promoting!!!!!!

  7. Maurybrad September 2, 2010 at 5:20 pm -

    Go So Contagious! Ur biggest fan :D “the dude with the curly hair” :P i think u will remember me

  8. VR666 September 2, 2010 at 8:45 pm -

    Our fans have been saying they are not able to register to vote. One girl told me she clicks on the register link a window pops up, she puts in her info and it then gives her the loading circle forever. Is there another way to register admin?

    • fenriswolf September 3, 2010 at 12:14 am -

      odd……do other people have this issue or is this just a single incident? has she tried registering on a different computer? we can’t be held accountable for computer issues ya know. Was she able to successfully register and login? whats the email address your friend registered with?

    • Noless September 3, 2010 at 1:51 am -

      yeah i have been told the same problem

    • cast thy flesh September 6, 2010 at 12:11 am -

      i had the same problem. when it did that i went straight to the e mail i registered n the login and pword were there.

  9. hipster920 September 3, 2010 at 5:19 pm -

  10. amessyperfection September 4, 2010 at 1:10 pm -

  11. KGoldhammer September 4, 2010 at 3:20 pm -

    VVVVVVVVVVVVVIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLEEEEEENNNNNNNNTTT RULER… It is the TITS. VR VR VR VR VR VR!!!

  12. quikblue11@yahoo.com September 4, 2010 at 4:50 pm -

    now that i have voted stop bugging me on my facebook page!

  13. dayo September 4, 2010 at 5:10 pm -

    So Contagious is a bunch of fuckin cheaters. Be honest and play fair

    • RTRmusic September 6, 2010 at 1:44 pm -

      regardless if they are or aren’t don’t worry about it. Let AMP deal with the votes and where they come from. Everybody here needs to cut the flame wars and just keep promoting. We got 2 days. That’s more than enough time to turn the tide on a vote like this. Spread the word more, and lets bitch less. Even IF your band doesn’t make the #1 spot you’re STILL in national publication as long as you make the top 9. :D

  14. CodiG September 4, 2010 at 5:52 pm -

    Violent Ruler is the only real music on here. Don’t even know them and they are bad ass.

  15. quikblue11@yahoo.com September 4, 2010 at 7:13 pm -

    well CodiG just to let you know i dont know what fake music is but if you ever want to inform us go ahead…other than that you try to do this shit! lamo

  16. rosieradical September 4, 2010 at 7:20 pm -

    Everyone NEEDS to vote for So Contagious! They’re amazing guys with amazing music, and they care more about their fans than any other band I’ve ever heard! :]

  17. ashleyfire September 5, 2010 at 2:57 am -

    SO CONTAGIOUS…ALL THE WAY….!!!

  18. Noless September 5, 2010 at 12:57 pm -

    ” The ONLY band” you guys keep using that term, now i i know you want to hype up the band you voted for like 8 times, but there are 17 awesome bands on this thing,. im greatful for all of our votes and know we are not the ONLY band on here, thanx to amp I have not ONLY been exposed to some amazing bands, but included with them. and in closing i raise my fist to all of you, you all deserve to be where your at, If not then you would not be here.

    United Defiance one of a few local bands that just write what they like and never go out and try the trends. good people good friends that never pass judgement.
