Who’s In Charge Here? – Rookie of the Year

Purpose: Determine a band’s leader by analyzing a publicity photo.

Disclaimer: A band’s inclusion on this blog reflects neither an endorsement nor a criticism of its music. This post is merely intended as a spotlight on the inner political workings of a collection of individuals who are in the midst of a cooperative, creative endeavor.

The Process:
You, dear reader, please answer the question, “Who’s in charge here?”

After sufficient discussion has taken place, a verdict can then be passed based on a majority vote.

Band: Rookie Of The Year
Genre: Acoustic Rock
Website:http://www.myspace.com/rookieoftheyear

The Verdict (UPDATED!)

The learning process continues. I think I will definitely need to recuse myself from any “Who’s In Charge Here?” votes, as my opinion is colored by the initial selection of the band photo (there will often be more than several to choose from, all with their own unique power dynamic).

So, with two votes, uncomfortably squatting Ron Wood lookalike dude wins.

A change in the process:
We’re going to try a new wrinkle on this feature. Before today, I have made pronouncements on high as to the leader of the respective bands I have posted. I now open the floor for comments, and attempt to engage you, dear reader, to answer the question, “Who’s in charge here?”

After sufficient discussion has taken place, a verdict can then be passed.

Band: A Day Away
Genre: Pop Punk
Website:http://www.myspace.com/adayawayband

The Verdict (UPDATED!)

Well, apparently I inferred the wrong guy from J.D.’s comment, then justacoolcat came along and also submitted “hat guy”, so, I am going to have to adjust the verdict accordingly.

Please bear with us. We are apparently having some technical difficulties.

If you’re still seeing black shirt dude as the leader, just refresh the page. After the refresh, hat guy should be marked as the driving force behind A Day Away.
