Santa Monica, CA – Unsigned bands: Get your demos
ready. Takeover Records’ “Sign My Band” contest is
back and is once again tagging along with this summer’s Warped
Tour. Similar to last year’s contest, the winning group will not
only score a record deal from Takeover, but they’ll also get to
open for label owner Ben Harper’s multi-platinum band Yellowcard.
Demos for this year’s contest must be dropped off at the Takeover
Records tent on any of the 48 stops made by the Van’s Warped Tour.
At the end of the tour, 10 finalists will be chosen to be featured on
the contest’s MySpace page, where they will then be voted on by
the public. From there, one talented band will be picked up by Takeover.
Of the 7,000+ demos collected for last year’s “Sign My Band”
contest, Strike.Fire.Fall of Richboro, PA, prevailed over the competition.
The band currently has a full-length album in the works, and is set
to open for Yellowcard later this year.
For more information on Takeover Records’ second “Sign My
Band” contest, log on to MySpace.com/SignMyBandContest. Dates
for the 2005 Van’s Warped Tour can be found at WarpedTour.com.
