The FANS choose the BANDS. The Hottest local unsigned band of 2006 is going to walk away with an opportunity of a lifetime!

Please note that bands must be indie or unsigned and play Modern Rock, Alternative Rock, Hardcore Rock/Metal, or Punk Rock, and the majority of the band members must live within 50 miles of Austin, Charlotte, Cincinnati, Columbus, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Orlando, Philadelphia, Phoenix, or Tampa. Make sure you read the "official rules" before signing up!
