Shayne Malone is singer/songwriter, and frontman for the band Malone. His music is self-described as classic rock with modern touches, or power ballads.
Htown.co.nz controversy
In May 2007, Shayne's label, EnolaMusic began a thread about his new single, describing it as a 'power rock ballad', and PM-d certain Htown.co.nz members with little regard for their musical tastes.
A newly-registered user called 'Fandangle' then posted the following:
Hey man, that song is pretty good. You don't hear songs of that calibre much these days. You are pretty talented. Are you a Hamilton band? Are you gonna post some dates on this site when you are playin'? I would like to hear the other songs you were mentioning. Do you consider yourself to be Rock, Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, etc.
Many members noted the strange tone of the post and Fandangle's newly-joined status, and suspected Fandangle of being involved with EnolaMusic, which they both denied.
The post was very similar to those found on Shayne's own website, such as:
I loved both songs , amazing, you have a great voice, and you're very talented
and:
This song (Who's Your Hero) was very good. The vocals and the guitar went absolutly perfectly together. The main melody was also great. The energy that the guitarists brought through really made me want to mosh.
The next day, another new user, called 'Rockchick', appeared on Htown.co.nz, and slagged off Hamilton bands she admitted she'd never heard before, and bemoaned the lack of professional mainstream rock bands in Hamilton, leading many to suspect she was also involved with EnolaMusic or Shayne Malone.
Htown had then rumoured that the IP addresses were the same and which could never be proved.
