Matty Healy, Alex Turner, Oli Sykes, Van McCann - four of the biggest frontmen in guitar-based bands right now, and that is the theme for this contest!

We've had 21 entries for this contest, as per the norm all voters must use the 12 point system (12/10/8/7/6/5/4/3/2/1) when submitting. Even if you did not enter, you are still able to vote and the deadline for this voting is Thursday 18th July 23:59 BST, so a week and a half.

You may not vote for your own entry & the usual penalties are in force for either late votes [15% deduction] or complete no shows [33%] so please don't be one of them

So here are the entries:

Feel It In My Bones! What a track! Very interested to see the likes of S3RL, The Bloody Beetroots and Seven Lions here too, I think this could be a good one.

Posted by: TheJüpreme 8th July 2019, 10:48 AM

Avril Lavigne! Here for it

Posted by: dandy* 8th July 2019, 10:54 AM

Djuma Soundsystem!!!

I used that as the opening track of a mixtape at some point.

Feel it in my bones is great too although I haven’t listened to it in ages now. It’s very typically bj contest winner.

Posted by: dobbo 8th July 2019, 11:44 AM

Ah I had a Modestep song in mind initially but wouldn't have made the grade anyway.

Good to see the traditional 20+ turnout still in tact. Now if only we could get back to the full house of voters days!

Posted by: photografdemon 8th July 2019, 11:48 AM

Dang it, I'm late
I had an amazing thing to enter with, it could fit perfectly there
Anyway, some of great names here in the list made me sure that it's gonna be a nice CB once again! Also excited to hear the tracks that I'm unaware of at the moment!

Posted by: Rhoda Camel 8th July 2019, 08:30 PM

oh if i'd thought of djuma soundsystem i would've sent that !!!! LOVE IT

think mine is a definite last placer.

Does anyone want to host a plug session for this?

Posted by: lewistgreen 9th July 2019, 06:19 PM

I can on Monday?

That would be fab x

DANCE WITH THE DEAD was the one artist I thought might show up here but sadly not.

Posted by: dobbo 12th July 2019, 01:23 PM

I must say I wasn't expecting to be a huge fan of this edition given my general dance preferences don't tend to incorporate guitars (despite one of my favorite ever albums ironically being the guitar-driven Immersion by Pendulum, go figure) BUT once again this contest has pulled it out the bag in a big way!

I have a very very clear top 2 at the moment but need a few more listens to sort out the rest.

Posted by: lewistgreen 14th July 2019, 01:11 PM

VOTED. Throwing out some hype for Vairo and The Bloody Beetroots!

Don't forget plug sesh tomorrow from 8pm

Posted by: FrankLuck 15th July 2019, 03:59 PM

I wanted to vote now but I'll wait a little more - wow, what a great contest, only 21 entries and my top 15 is better than a BJSC final.
Penalised the entries that I already knew HARD, there are so many great discoveries
I usually flop in CB, I can't see myself doing too well this time either, but I hope some of you will enjoy my entry!

Come and party

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 15th July 2019, 06:49 PM

As the host I'd like to be there, but I'm not feeling great atm. Might try and join later.

Posted by: Jade 15th July 2019, 08:45 PM

My votes are in!

Posted by: Bré 15th July 2019, 10:10 PM

I have also done a vote x there were 4 songs that stood out a lot from the rest for me.

Posted by: Chez Wombat 15th July 2019, 10:20 PM

Voted now, must admit I was a little disappointed how subtle some of these guitars were, but a decent edition and some great finds as always x

Posted by: Mattias 16th July 2019, 09:47 AM

Voted... In general I got more of a chill vibe from this bunch of entries which was a nice touch tbh. Obviously there were some banger-style things too, and the occasional hot mess

My entry isn't even my favourite song in this edition, I like several others more.

Posted by: FrankLuck 16th July 2019, 02:42 PM

Same, I really like my entry, but I'd rank it 4th only That's super-rare

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 16th July 2019, 02:47 PM

Got quite a few entries now, I'll go through them later and update the list

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 16th July 2019, 07:12 PM

The formatting is really winding me up with doing a leaderboard each time on my docs

I might just do one big one at the end, and keep you waiting.

About a day and a half to go and we're missing 9! votes at the moment!

Posted by: danG 17th July 2019, 12:34 PM

Missing only 9 votes at this stage is promising, sometimes more than half do leave it to the last day. Hopefully we can go back to having a full house of voters this time.

I've just voted anyhow.

Posted by: King Rollo 17th July 2019, 01:39 PM

Voted. That was a good bunch of songs and it was quite difficult to decide the voting order.

Posted by: Iz~ 17th July 2019, 01:52 PM

I may be having issues. I haven't had good Youtube connections this week (I can normally count on getting through with something but it's all so torturously slow rn).

finding the songs on spotify looks possible as a backup but this might be a tight one.

That really does help! And thankfully it's currently playing the song without stopping but who knows how long that'll last as that's more than it was doing an hour ago.

I've been at this for about 45 minutes and I'm halfway through song 3. I'm not finishing before I go to sleep so I'll just be praying that when I wake up tomorrow that i won't be destroyed by the whims of the cruel internet gods.

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 18th July 2019, 05:48 PM

I have voted! Got better in the second half for me.

Posted by: Cody Season 18th July 2019, 09:30 PM
