Dear asthma,

I would love nothing more then to see the feds make it big. But at this time they are a local band, they play shows all around but still. They play Andys and clubs up and down Elm street and small bars all the time. They record in Krum for god sakes. And them leading (as of 4/5 @ 245am) by well over 500 votes shows there just that good. And if they wernt local then i dont think they would be on this local band list and im sure http://Texasgigs.com would know if they wernt local. But yeah, there good enough to go global and soon i think they will.

This Feds song is HORRIBLE. Hopefully, the celebrity judges will use their Godly sway to make sure either PPT or M-F-F-L wins this. Too bad "Courtside" isn't in the running, huh? Courtside/ In the paint/ Fadeaway/ In your face!!!

I agree with jonbin. After FINALLY being able to hear it (errors)The Feds may be good in their own right or element but for this specific purpose, it's not a good fit IMO. PPT, Honchie, and MFFL are on the right track. If you've ever been to a Mavs game and see or hear what gets the crowd moving, you'd understand. Fav artist vs best song should be considered.

Hey, This is Bryan from The Feds. I want to say thanks to all of our fans who have voted for our song thus far. It means a lot to us, not only as a band, but as fans of the Mavericks. We also recognize that we are only one of 3 bands in this competition that did not submit a song that contains a rap vocal. So, if you are a fan of rap or hiphop, then you will probably like another song more than ours. I’ve listened to all the tunes and there are some really good hiphop tunes on here. But just because I like rock, doesn’t mean I think the hiphop songs suck. This competition has exposed thousands of new faces to the local talent we have here in Dallas and we will all benefit even if we don’t win. I’ve been to many Mavs games and the songs I hear to get the crowd going range from The Who (played during team introductions), AC/DC, and Guns & Roses to 50 Cent and OutKast. All of these songs motivate Mavs fans and we did our best with our music to do the same. We love the Mavs and want to see them take the title this year.

One things for sure: everyone involved will definitely get lots of exposure. If part of your comment was in reference to mine [Bryan from Feds], I don't think a song has to have a rap vocal to pump the fans; I'm all about the catchiness, and the music. Does it make me want to holla? Parodying the hook to Pour Some Suga on Me would have had an excellent effect.

Seriously, I could really see the PPT song being played at the play-offs, plus you can really dance to it. Not that I don't like rock, I just think the Mavs' playoff song should appeal to more people (which this one does). VOTE PPT!!!!

Man I heard a band on hear that is the best and most slept on group. I heard them on 103.3 Mavs Talk radio and fell in love with their song! Not only does it make you dance and mention the Mavs over and over, but the beat is profesional and they really have true talent and they talk about key players like Dirk, Josh Joward, Harris, Avery Johnson and even Mark Cuban! Hands down this song is the most well written song on here and I've heard some garbage! The Feds song has nothing on this song at all! The problem is that the song is at the bottom of the artist and people tend to easily overlook it. South City should win this if the judges are looking for great playoff material that'll sound good at the games and even on tv! They've got my vote!! I hope to rock to this at the games!

Just what heck are The Feds saying? You can't even understand anything being too loud and distorted. Sorry can't see this song being played for a basketball game at all. I wonder if Cuban is looking for a cheer song where everyone can say the words at game time? I could come up with that...

The Feds song sucks badly and not because it is rock...but because it doesn't mention any of the players. It sounds like a remake of a crappy AC/DC song. Not what the fans want. If they would have put more thought into the lyrics it might be okay. I think the winner should include all of the team members name in the song somewhere. I really like the Honchie and PPT songs. Hopefully the celeb judges will do what is right instead of listening to a bunch of people who don't even like the Mavericks. I have not missed a game this year and have been to about 7 games in the platinum seats. If this songs plays at the playoffs I will be really upset as will several other fans. Remember the culture of this NBA team is much more street and rap than rock.

I'm really quite appauled by the audacity of some of you people. Or perhaps its more the total and complete lack of class. Yes, this is an open forum in which people can discuss the songs that are up for the vote. And everyone is entitled to their opinion. HOWEVER - it sickens me to read over and over "The Feds suck". Have you no more intelligence to think of something perhaps more constructive and less destructive to say? Not to mention, if you dislike them so much, why do you keep talking about them, giving them more press? I am sorry that the boys have to read this type of thing. I can't imagine how they feel. Kudos to Bryan for speaking up in a calm and intelligent manner. My point is, how would you feel if everyone one in the community were allowed to comment on your job? Because that is just it - this is not a hobby for ANY of the people in the running. This is their profession. And whether you like their style or not, well, let your vote be your voice. And all the hooplah over Buzz Oven... its not like The Feds are only local band that has benefitted from the marketing. Countless others have been on the free CDs and in the shows. And quite frankly, it is marketed at a segment of the population with the most disposable income.... hmmm, which might actually be GOOD for Dallas music. ALL of Dallas music. God knows, we could use the help.

I actually listened to some of their music on myspace and it wasn't that bad. It's just they put NO thought when making this song, the only thing they mention about the team is "Go Mavs". It's like 5 lines that repeat over and over. It just doesn't fit what would sound good in a basketball arena. If they would of thought out the lyrics more and mentioned player names like most of the other songs did, it would of been an OK song.

To LUVSTER: Here is what The Feds are saying:

Stand up, get out of your seat, and rise to your feet One more time, scream out loud, this is the place to be (hey hey hey) I'm on fire tonight, there's no way you can slow me down We're screaming LOUD and PROUD GET READY, SCREAM LOUD, GO MAVS GET READY, SCREAM NOW, GO MAVS Rise up, get on your feet, and rock to the beat One more time, scream out loud, this is the place to be (hey hey hey) I'm on fire tonight, there's no way you can slow me down We're screaming LOUD and PROUD GET READY, SCREAM LOUD, GO MAVS GET READY, SCREAM NOW, GO MAVS

I'm no better music critic than anyone else on here, but if the goal was to motivate a crowd to get them "out of their seat" and "scream for the Mavs", then I think these guys did a pretty fine job of getting to the point.

It just sound like your orinary alt. rock song. The fact that they mentions mavs 4 times in the song is what makes it bad. Maybe if it was a little more hardcore it would be all right, but the "I'm on fire tonight, there's no way you can slow me down" part of the song is way to soft. If they would of put a little more thought into the lyrics it would of been a mutch better song.

I agree with Emerson1, the biggest failure on the Feds part was the lack of effort in the lyrics. We want to hear the players name and thier skills. You can tell which bands are watching the games this year and which ones are not even fans. Just saying Go Mavs doesn't make it a basketball song. Have any of you listened to the other songs to see what all the fans meant when we say the Feds lyrics are weak? This is not just a way for you to make publicity....This is our team your messing with. The song must fit the whole team!!!!!!!

Hopefully the celebrity will pick a song that actually mentions the mavericks more than a few times. The feds song would be fine if it had more stuff about the team.

I believe that is the only way that they are getting votes because the song is not the best one out of the 19 listed. Atleast they are getting the publicity that they wanted out of this contest because it looks like that was what they were looking for anyway.

Man has anyone heard SOUTH CITY!! Their song has it all! Nice beat greay lyrics nice production and everybody can dance and understand the lyrics! This is the baddest song on the page but people overlook it because its at the bottom! All the rest of the rap songs suck and are straight cheesy! Listen to the song for a change! We need a song that sparks the crowd and motivates the mavs not just alot of music and words you dont understand! South City is the best hands down! I cant believe that people vote for the other crap you hear! Do they really listen to each song before they vote? It clearly shows they dont! Even Taylor and Choppy from 103.3 Mavs Talk show endorsed these guys on the show after the game Friday night because he even said it was the best one! We need a nice performance at the game and the other songs are crap!

South City is a good song (PPT and Honchie are both better - universally, overall, and marketwise); I think any true Mav's fan would listen to all of the songs no matter where it's located on the page. The inherent problem with this competition that you simply cannot get around is each artists group of fans are going to vote for their fav artist no matter how relevant the song is to the competiton or how it sounds. As stated before - thank the heavens for the celebrity judges.

@musicman : it aint just about makin a crunk-azz durty song to jam to. this is also for the general Mavs-fan public. Which means gettin them ol white ladies jumpin up and down. Puttin in the same kinda crunk-type stuff that you hear on 104 is just as likely to scare the people who aint into that, to be honest with you. I do like the song, that's not in question here at all. You need to look at how and where the song is to be utilized, and then ask yourself is not a certain level of universality and cheeziness necessary to reach the broadest audeience?

I didn't see anything about it being this years specific playoff song, just playoff song. We're really splitting hairs here over if the Feds were following the rules or not and if they deserve to be in the competition and I think it's kinda silly. Some people could say that PPT is getting extra boost from 106, the Observer, getting their video on the front page of texasgigs, Quick magazine linking people to the site via 2-3 of the bands in the competition (not the feds), myspace and dfwhiphop. I don't see what's wrong with that., but people are complaining about the feds using myspace and the fact that they've been on Buzzoven (to which I still haven't found any link to them helping support the feds in this competition). I know, some of my friends are buzzers and they didn't know there was a competition. So, theories aside, I think it's unfair to assume that The Feds are in the lead because of some conspiracy. I'd like to see what kind of junk people would drudge up on any other band that was in the lead by that kind of margin...

If they were winning because the song was actually good I wouldn't care. Like I and other have said before, they put NO thought into the lyrics, they have a total of 5 lines in their entire song that just repeat over and over.

I think it's a pretty safe assumption that the majority of folks here believe the feds are in the lead due to their own fan base - not some conspiracy, and I'd be the first to say rock on to already having people that dedicated without something like this competition. And I really don't think anyone except the 1 foul mouthed person thinks they don't deserve to be in the competition. Take one of the songs right now that hasn't hit 50 votes yet: If that song had over 3000 votes, that would definitely qualify for things that make you say hmmmm. (sorry if I offend any one).

It is not important to mention EVERY Mavs player in the history, but at least have some lyrics that mention basketball, our awesome coach, AVERY, and some of our stars. More thought went into other/better songs (and yes I did listen to them all, more than once, thank you) such as those from PPT, Honchie, and South City.

I am not whining because The Feds are winning. I want to continue going to the games (at Platinum level) without getting a headache from some crappy song. I have listened to The Feds song a number of times and it only gets worse! I do not feel pumped up...I feel like leaving the room.

And yes the buzz oven thing is not true its just stupid ppl talking cuz there band is getting there a kicked by the feds.

They probably don't even know what basketball is. They dont share the Mavs "spirit" and "culture", cuz you know they all sit at home and compare bikini-lines instead givin' Avery a "holla". Now I'm no homophobe, but a limp-wristed click is still a vote, and once they get a few fruity drinks in them, their power can be simply massive.

Alright, you know what? I'm in The Feds, and I'm not really sure why I'm wasting my time looking at this stuff anymore, but to set the record straight, Nobody IN the Feds has any clue what the free drinks thing is about. I saw a comment on our myspace page that someone who is just a fan put there and it's a joke. We can't afford the price of gasoline these days, or our OWN drinks for that matter, so how would we get free drinks for everybody who voted? So don't call Twizzler out for not doing his/her research. Maybe they didn't, but it's the truth. As I've said before, this contest is getting a lot of exposure for everyone here, and I'm glad for that. IF we win, I'll be proud that they decided to use our song. If not, life goes on and I'm comfortable that whoever gets the nod deserves it. It's a good panel and who better to judge than Cuban? Anyway, thanks for all the comments (positive and negative...I guess) and remember that whoever deserves this is kinda in the eye of the beholder and really it comes down to the final judging. For everybody that doesn't like a song, there's probably just as many if not more that do like it (any of them). Ones idea of what you need to mention in a song is not everybody's opinion. When I heard all the songs for the first time, I was surprised at the quality and effort involved in all of them. 5 days is not a very good chunk of time to come up with something perfect, let alone produced well. So hats off to all the bands in the running. Good luck and congrats on pumping out new music in such a small window of time.....Oh, and go mavs. Isn't that the point of all of this anyway? Bryan

This is the problem........they love the Feds more than they love the Mavericks. The purpose of this competition is to have a song about the Mavericks and not the Feds promoting their band. This team song is national not just for a few local fans of the band. Think bigger than your own selfish agenda.

I am not promoting Honchie or PPT because I know these bands.....I just simply love the Mavs and think these songs are better. In fact, this is the first for me to learn of or hear these bands. It is cool for them to have a shot like this, but keep in mind the 1st priority is the MAVERICKS!!! and NOT band promotion.

If you truly like another song, such as PPT, then that is what you should vote for because that is what you know in your heart is a better 'basketball' song. It is not about being loyal to a local band, it is about being loyal to your Dallas Mavericks basketball team!!!!!!!!!!!

Bryan, Your song is owning in this popular vote competition. Don't bother trying to convince these 2 or 3 haters that your intentions are good, because no matter what you say, they will find a rediculous way to repeat that you suck and don't deserve it.

If Mavs fans don't like your song, then they will vote for another. It is simple as that. But the fact of the matter is that they are voting for your song. These guys blame you because you actually have fans (how dare you?). Take the high road and leave all of this jibber-jabber to Mr. T (or is he dead?).

With one email to their fans, The Feds could send them all to this forum to start a shouting match with the haters, but that would only make this competition more depressing. Your song is good, you know it's good. Just let these guys bitch amongst themselves...

nessy out.

Dear Lazer,

I just listened to your Maverick tune. It was so inspiring, that I laced up my chuckie's and head to the Wallace Park (that's where AC Green and Bill "get him off HD" Walton street balled it back in the day) to get me game on. With only wearing on chuckies and a speedo and having your B-Ball anthem in my brian I gained the respect of my fellow ballers and a few of the ladies sunning themselves in the park with my skills and physique. You is the bomb Lazer come to Portland and Play at the DougFir.

your #1 fan West side,

Pugeez

PS it would be easier to write a song about the Blazers since Blazer rhythm with Lazer. But they suck as equally as you are supreme

Ten years from now doesn't matter anyway...what matters is this years playoff games. That is what the song is suppose to be about right? Not the bands...who will be forgotten in ten years.

How is supporting the Mavericks (which is the paycheck you are getting for this gig) hating on your band (The Feds). I have no loyalty to any local bands...only the Mavericks.

I am not worried about your comments. I know that Mark Cuban will make the final decision and he will pick the song that best suits the team.

I would like to say congrats to all the bands in the running. This is a great chance to make it big for your band...but the winner should be the better song not the band with more fans.

This is not hating on the Feds....just a simple fact about our fans and team. Don't worry...I have started something to help the better song win....other than just complaining. I will update you on what time to watch.
