And that would be pretty awesome. We're a pretty classic 60s sounding rock and roll band, and our current lineup consists of myself on drums, guitar, bass, vocals, keys, and 2 saxophones. [url]http://supercity.mcfly.com/battleofthebands/view/361[/url] If you're not too convinced on our sound, you can have a listen to our EP on our soundcloud page, [url]www.soundcloud.com/the-preventers[/url] We've played a couple of gigs about Glasgow the past 2 months, and have a few lined up until January (one this month, 2 in December then a headline gig at the Classic Grand in January). I'd love it if you'd give us a wee vote, but if you decide not to and just want to listen to our music, that's pretty cool too. I hope you enjoy our EP, and thank you, Facepunch.

I'll vote for you, but why on earth would you want to support McFly?

Haha fair point. McFly's old stuff is pretty good man, as much as I hate to admit it. When I was learning to play guitar when I was 10 they were what I'd normally practice with.

I love McFly, even though most of their music sounds like generic boy band crap, they're pretty good. Supporting. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUz4jDAxgEQ[/media]

Cheers guys, really appreciate it.

As much as I don't particularly like McFly it would be a great chance for you guys so voting.

Voted.

Gaaah, thanks guys. Can't even begin to thank you enough.

I like your band, it has a cool sound.

Are you called the preventers because your music prevents people from getting laid?

My answer to that is that we are preventing the galactic empire from taking over the galaxy. [url]http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/The_Preventers[/url] Not too sure the rest of the band agree with me on that one though...

Met McFly Nice blokes

I voted. I like your sound!

it was wierd to see a black guy in that video [editline]2nd November 2011[/editline] because its british

lol mcfly.

Only if you become a Viking metal band

Very catchy. You got my vote! Would be great with more songs in the same style as Free Livin' compared to the other two slower songs. All I can say now is, when will I see you guys on Spotify?

Good to hear you like it! No idea haha, I don't even know how one is supposed to get on Spotify, I'd imagine we'd need to get signed and actually start making an album (paid about 500 out of our own pockets to record the EP which we are just starting to make back on gig ticket sales)

We're currently sitting number 8th in Scotland, but nowhere near the top 50 :L Any more votes would be much appreciated, or if you could even just post the link on your facebook pages. Thanks a lot guys.

McFly, no matter how crap they are will always make me feel nostalgic about the early noughties.

I voted for you :D Nice vocalist, powerfull voice, but he needs a bit more control and he'll be really good :D

Cheers. Funny thing is guys, we normally finish our set on Jonny B Goode... :V

No clue who mcfly is but you sounded pretty good, certain potential. you got my vote!

"The Preventers" is a terrible band name.

Your EP made me smile ahah, nostalgia!

I saw that you are following Twin Atlantic, saw them supporting Awolnation like 2 weeks ago, they're getting big in the US here. Try and support them and you'll get loads'a money

Yeah Twin Atlantic are pretty bawse. We've just hit the top 100 in the UK, and we're currently 6th in Scotland, thanks for all your help guys, really REALLY appreciate it. Hopefully we can hit the top 50 soon!

I read your name as "The Perverters"
