I haven't entered a song for 16 years. I feel a comeback :)

Got inspired for this one right away, and it coincided with my NaSoAlMo goals nicely. I'm in.

I've written a song and a half. If I get off my lazy arse to record one (or to finish another one and record it) then I'll be in. Obvious interpretations seems like an album title.

Oh hey, my account still works! Neat! I haven't done a songfight since 2012, but I happened to stop by and the title spoke to me.

Night Sky is in after a bit of a hiatus that saw us writing but failing to record the last couple songs.

I'm in - late (sorry!) been a thousand years since I had time for a SF! Took the afternoon off and put all the toys to use. Only used 2 of the "persons" of the 3 for the optional challenge.. 'cuz I didn't know about it.. dammit.

It pays to read, kids.

looking forward to hearing the entries!

It's fine, practically everybody writes more than just their band name in their emails. It's not a hard rule, it's more like, "You must include at least your band name in the body of your email".

Well, since it looks like it's old folks' week, I just sent something off. If I'm too late, sobeit... this is the first recording I've done in a long time, and I've got a lot of relearning to do, but a song is a song... even if it sounds like a King Arthur song. Will post the lyric when I see if I made the cut with the song.
