Earlier this year I announced a competition for one unsigned band to win a photoshoot and get themselves a variety of great band portraits to help them to stand out from the crowd. We had loads of entries from all kinds of bands and solo artists all over the Midlands. The answer to the question, What was Steve’s favourite album of 2008, was “Asking For Flowers” by Kathleen Edwards.
I’ve now decided to upgrade the prize to include live shots of the winning band next time they play in the area.
I thought it’d be fun to let music fans and readers of this blog vote for the winning band from a randomly drawn selection of six bands/artists who entered the competition. So check out the bands’ MySpace pages, listen to their tracks and leave a comment after this blog post with the name of the band you think deserve the prize most. ONLY ONE VOTE PER PERSON PLEASE
The finalists are:
The Jaayz – WEBSITE
Stunts – WEBSITE
Start The Hourglass – WEBSITE
StRANGEtIME – WEBSITE
The Amateurs – WEBSITE
Regis – WEBSITE
VOTING CLOSES MAY 31ST.
Photos from the winning band’s shoot will, of course, be featured here on the blog
Good luck to all six bands.
Steve
