From what I heard of Rise Electric's music, it was an awesome band with some very unique, bright and modern yet retro 80s dark gothic rock influences and killer guitar riffs.
The inside word at Pulse Studios where Supernova (aka Suave Porn, Raven Soup, Neuvo Rasp, and my favorite - Van Poseur) is recording and producing is that Lukas has already been slated as winner.
Personally, Magni has the voice but lacks the stage charisma, Toby sings everything too bright and happy (Mr. Brightside is a sarcastic angst song about bitter jealously but he sung it like a cheering anthem), Dilana is simply awful, a sort of 10 pack a day dirty bar singer who can't write a lyric to save her life.
Lukas is cool since he has great unique music and talent (I wish he would stop mumbling though and he still needs to open up instead of freaking out at his own voice and growling when he starts to warble)...and if he wins that means that Rockstar would have picked TWO homeless Canadians in a row and that's wicked.
And I just realized there are no American contestants left! It's a Canadian, Australian, South African, and Icelander. Awesome!
I wish I could find a tab for Headspin, I really want to know how to play that bright guitar riff that kicks in during the second part that Raphael plays on the show.
