Maelstrom's unfortunate defeat

By Rob on 18/11/2004

Maelstrom unfortuantely have lost the Rock School Xfm competition

The winners of the XFM competition have been decided....and surprisingly maelstrom didnt go through.

The Voting system was changed just one day before the final announcement of winners after some of the bands received multiple votes from the same people over the internet poll. It isnt clear, but we are not sure if the cheaters were disqualified or if they were among the winners.

Maelstrom's overall score was 406 votes, putting them in a very respectable 10th place out of several hundred entrants.

The winners were:

The Hush -
Purple Haze 1610 votes

Outlaw -
Black Flowers for the bride 1342 votes

The Displacements -
Back in the USSR 903 votes

Exit Stage Left -
Sweet Child o mine 1071 votes

Isobel -
Don’t Speak 719 votes


You can stil hear Maelstroms cover of "Kick out the Jams," by MC5 as well as other tracks from their demo, "Devil May Cry," on their website www.maelstrom-scotland.tk
