Battle of the Bands 

A contest in which several contesting bands (generally rock) will perform in a time of roughly 10 or 15 minutes each. They are judged to decide a winner at the end.

"Yeah man! My group's competing in the battle of the bands!!!"

Unless the winner of each heat is judged on points, it is really a competition of how many friends each band brings on the night. It doesn't matter if your band is any good or not, it all depends on how many votes you get at the end of the night. Which, of course, depends on how many friends you bring to the gig.

Band #1: We have 100 friends and they are all coming to the battle of the bands gig.
Band #2: Well we have 102 friends, so we will win!

"The" Bands 

Bands whose names typically begin with the word "The".

"The" Bands all play the same brand of Faux Arthouse pretso garbage, tending to look and sound almost identical to each other to the point where they are indistinguishable from one another when heard on the radio. Despite this, "The" bands enjoy almost unwavering popularity on both sides of the pond.

Examples of "The" Bands include:
The Magic Numbers
The Zutons
The Thrills
The Strokes
The Kooks
The Feeling

If I great plague was to suddenly wipe all trace of "The" Bands from this planet, I wouldn't miss a wink of sleep.

battle of the bands 

The ongoing battle of all of Urban Dictionary. If someone dislikes a band, they'll throw in a really bad definition about that. That's what I like to call the Battle of the Bands.

Green Day sucks so bad. I'm gonna go write a mean definition on UD.
