WINNERS

+Blue+Eyez+ - Winnipeg

The best thing about Stereos is that they seem like super approachable guys, [which can be rare when it comes to bands that have gotten popular that fast] they write songs that are upbeat and can pick you up and make you want to dance if you're having a rough day, and they're Canadian!

They've become such a hit in such a short amount of time because they've worked hard for it. They've built up a fan base, toured across the country, written catchy songs [who doesn't love a good song that makes you want to dance?]. Their unique sound separates them from a handful of artists all trying to recreate the same thing, and people have taken notice. And of course that no matter how popular they get, their ego's stay grounded.

The best thing about this wonderful Canadian band is the fact that they know they're famous, but they act like everybody else. Sure, they might have pride boosts every now and then, but they are always sincere and down to earth. They appreciate their fans; I always see commercials on TV of them thanking their fans who take their hard earned money to buy their CD, concert tickets, concert merchandise, etc. This is a rare quality in celebrities - sometimes people get too stuck up, but the entire band is grateful.

Being so incredibly nice to their fans, it makes it easy to just walk up to them and have a casual conversation. They would be easy people to talk to, because the way they sing their music shows their listeners that they are just like us, experiencing love, anger, partying, sadness, etc. Asking for an autograph seems to be like the best thing in the world for them.

What's the best thing about Stereos?
-The best thing about Stereos is that their band is really chill, and they enjoy playing the music that they play. AND THEY ARE CANADIAN! nothing is better then that =D

What has made them such a huge hit in such a short time?
-Their hit song Summer Girl made then a huge hit as well as DisBand, how they got DisBanded from their first try and still had the determination to get better and went back and tried again and made the cut! They are very dedicated to their music. and they are hot so that makes them even better =D

 

:skull: - Edmonton

the reason that stereos are the best: i had a chance to speak with a few of these guys while they were still under the name stand by me. i had that chance because they came and played in my small town, the middle of nowhere in support of a local band who was trying to do thier own thing and putting out their own self released ep. stereos are honorable, loving, respectful, supportive fellow human beings.

and the reason they are famous isnt some sort of over night hand out of glitz and glam, they have been working hard for years on their sound promotion and getting themselves out there, hard work payed off.

The best thing about Stereos is even though their lyrics are soo different from their look it doesn`t matter, all that matters is their fans and how much they love to do what they do and they don`t care if someone hates them. They wanna do what they do for as long as they can and its a BIG thing for them. And they`re Albertians like me = )
The thing that made them big was really Disband but they kinda had something going before they hit and even though that didn`t make them big, its their connection with fans and the way they`re lyrics can pump someone up that has really made them big after they got signed.

What's so great about Stereos?

The fact that they're Canadian is what's so great about them. Their style is amazing, if you looked at them you would probably think screamo music & then they suprise you with something completely different. They were on disBAND and they took a huge chance by going on the show.

What has made them a huge hit in such a short time?

I think the fact that they were on disBAND made them huge. I liked their song Jet Black Cadillac & was slightly disapointed that they didn't go with that. But, the song Summer Girl was deffinetly my summer theme. They're good looking and MuchMusic seems to back them up every chance they get. During the summer you couldn't turn on a radio without hearing the song everywhere.

The best thing about stereos is obviously their music. i'm sure if you got to know them all you wouldn't be able to pick out the best thing about them but i don't so for now i'm just sayin' their music is the shizzzzz! i love 'em, just brilliant.
Being on Disband helped them get to where they are now real quick, but if they didn't do that show they would still be way up there already. and they are canadian which make them the coolest people ever -juss sayin'

 

-*-CandyGirl-*- - Calgary

there just all around amazing . plus their canadian - SCORE ! .
they've got this hardcore style , & this electronica sound . honestly, their
pretty unique if you ask me . its hard not too listen to their music 50 million
times a day, or have ' summer girl ' on repeat . the rare thing that jump started
their career, was making it through disband .. only like, two bands have done
that on the show & do you hear about them today? no . ex: deanliquor . or whatever ,
they made it through disband but their not famous like stereos . pat has unique talent
that brings the band together . they get the crowd pumping . their good live . their songs
& sound is original & catchy . i like how their songs are about the beauty of girls & they
don't sing about sex, drugs & alcohol like everyone else these days .
bottom line is : winning these tickets would make my life < 3 ilovenexopia&stereos . pick me please ^^ .

' Stereos became such a huge hit in a short time because of disBAND & how they were a band before the show - so they already had some amazing song's & they just needed to change some word's around & get more of there music out there which equal's there new album!

What's the best thing about Stereos? What has made them such a huge hit in such a short time?

The best thing about Stereos is that they made it through so much because of the dedication to make it in the music industry. There music is so different from other artists and thats what makes them such a great band. I also think that they are amazing role models for other bands trying to make it because they were just a little band from Edmonton, Alberta and now look at them, there music is hitting the charts and they have become very successful.

They became such a huge hit well obviously most people know them as the band that "had what it takes" from DisBAND. But i think they have become so well known because they have a different vibe and sound in music compared to others in the music industry and there music is catchy and is written for different type of age groups.
