Verbicide hosts unsigned band contest

(New York, NY) VerbicideMagazine.com is still accepting entrants into the 2011 Verbicide Unsigned contest — and we’re adding new prizes!

In addition to previously announced prizes — including CD replication, gift certificates for gear, publicity services, and more — we are happy to announce that MetroSonic Recording Studios will be offering 12 hours of tracking, mixing, and mastering services to the winner of the Judges’ Choice award!

As we search to name the best unsigned band of 2011, we welcome submissions from alternative, funk, rap/hip-hop, indie, soul/neo-soul, hardcore, punk, and every possible other subgenre out there. If it’s good, and if it’s unsigned, we want to hear it…and we’re betting others do too.

Any unsigned musician can apply. Enter by October 21st. Fan voting will end November 7th, and winners of the Judge’s Choice and Reader’s Choice will be announced the following week. For more information log on to the world wide web and visit www.verbicidemagazine.com/unsigned/.
