» band | One Dollar Jackpot - 25 Words or Less Competition

Congratulations Michael on another winner with this entry on his favourite band and why:

Abusive to the ears, but speaks to the mind.
tells you to stand up for who you are and be true.
- throwdown

Can’t say I’ve ever listened to Throwdown much - it’s not really my cup of tea as it were (I don’t listen to cups of tea either). Though I’m sure they speak into many people’s lives! Bands are a funny thing, they often mean very little to those outside of their fan circle but those who love them have changed lives because of their music.

If only the Wild Stallions would re-form. Those were the days.

I like U2 - you might have gained that from the last post about music. I mean, really who doesn’t? I’m kind of obsessed, which is fine with me ’cause they make some good music and I love their lyrics. You surely can’t listen to music without considering the lyrics too.

However I also like this other band - they’ve played to over 100,000 people and they are bringing out their first new album in a couple of months. Their producer has worked on albums from artists like Elton John, Sting, INXS, Midnight Oil and many others. Peter Mayes of PNAU is working on their album too - but it’s not a dance album.

The band is All Mankind - a four piece here in Sydney who have toured in the US and the UK in the last couple of years. They are rocktastic - check them out you might like them too.

Tell me why I might like them and I’ll give you one bonus point. Otherwise just enter the competition and see if you win that coveted dollar!
