Well, this certainly looks cool.

What is Song Fight? Is there an FAQ or something I can check out?

Oh sorry, I mean... Hi everyone!!

But really, what do y'all do here?

EDIT: Ooohh... lookie there. Cleverly hidden in plain view at the top of the screen.

Big friendly logo in the upper left corner is a link to the fights page. On which you will find... the faq you're looking for.

On the big friendly logo you'll see quite plainly what we do here. Good luck.

Mind you, it's a bit out of date where it says "Every week several titles are provided" - that used to be the case, but now we seem to be back to one title a week.

Okay, well I saw the songs and listened to a few. Some of it's really good! I'm kinda slow (and we just had our first baby a couple weeks ago) so I haven't had time to really sift through and see how the nuts and bolts of things work.

If I were to guess, it looks like somehow a topic for a song creation is divined, and several members then create a song based on that topic. They then record and submit the songs, which are then rated by the other members via vote.

Am I close?

Romp - Yes, that's the idea.

For your listening pleasure, explore the archive here. Keep in mind that the winner may or may not be the "best". Once you find an artist whose song you really like, view the archive by artist and listen to more of what they've created.

Are you an artist?

Congrats on the baby!

Thanks for the congrats!

Yes, I'm a musician and I've been playing guitar for just over 17 years. I'm terrible at recording, even though I have decent equipment, yet I keep on truckin'.

On my website there is a link for samples that have some rough recordings, if you want to listen. Nothing on there is a final product, unfortunately, as my time contraints are great and my mixing/mastering prowess is limited. You'll also note that the site itself is a work in progress, as well.

Alright then, I'll try to lurk around the boards some and see if anything strikes my fancy. Thanks!

You misunderstand, Romp. Fightmaster gives you a title. You write a song for that title, and send it in by the deadline. The title and deadline for the competition is posted in the upper-right of songfight.org

This forum is an adjunct to songfight.org. There are many entrants to the competition who do not post on these boards. It's not limited to members here.
