    Zack and Cody fight over clothes and songs. So Cody left band temporary. But in the end of this episode, Cody returned back in the band. They won the contest! I am huge fan of this twins! They can sing! But, I don't like to watch scenes of Maddie and London, they fight over being lead singer. Because it will hurt each other's feelings. Maddie refused to tell London that London stink sing! Anyway, other side, Arwin is one of best character in this show rocks! Arwin is so funny and help this show improves lot! He made me laugh so hard in all scenes and boys too!moreless

    Zack and Cody form a group called Rock Squared with Max and Tapeworm. They want to be in a battle of the bands. Maddie is also in the battle of the bands with Lance in a group called Waterworks. London joins Waterworks and ruins Maddies chance of winning with her terrible singing. Zack and Cody almost ruin their chances of winning with their constant fighting. I liked the fact that Zack and Cody sing in this episode and the song they sang, Schools Out, was pretty cool. In the end Zack and Cody win the battle of the bands and the prize is that they get to cut a demo CD. The only problem I had with this episode is that they never followed through with the demo CD or a record deal. It was never mentioned in the series again. Otherwise, this was a very funny and very good episode.moreless

    Zack and Cody call there band rocksquared. There is a battle of the bands at the Tipton. Zack is the guitarist and the lead singer, Cody is the keyboardist, Max is the bass guitarist and Tapeworm is the drummer. Meanwhile Maddie is in a band called the waterworks. This is the only episode that Lance plays the guitar and is mentioned. I think that Cody should be the lead singer not Zack because Cody wrote the song. I really loved the song called SCHOOLS OUT. I really liked this episode and I think that Disney Channel should put this episode on more often.

    i thought that the singing in this ep was great. the ep was really funny and i loved in the beginning with zack and maddie..where he goes "and were also 12 and cute" and then maddie goes "yeah well im 15 and hot" ahh loved it.. zack and codys band ( rock squared) went against lances band (waterworks)in the battle of the bands. water spilled on lances bands equipment and they used londons 5,000 dollars to replace it.. but she wanted to be in the bad.. her singing was horrible.. and a little interuption due to londons singing caused waterworks to lose the battle of the bands to rock squared.. overall.. great episodemoreless
