okay, so that does it for round 1, however I am going to break the rules now. Weapon already won its round 1 matchup, however it was requested that it compete

against Massey Hall. So why not? The winner will simply be subbed into Weapon's current slot in the competition.

 

10) Weapon vs. Weapon (Massey Hall)

- Weapon defeated Failing the Rorshach Test in round 1

- MY VOTE - After a few careful listens, I'll go with Massey Hall

 

Round 1.5 will start Saturday at midnight, where we will pick 2 songs eliminated in this round to stage a comeback later on, and then we can finally start round 2 on Wednesday.

 

Happy voting everyone!
