Unsigned Heroes — From Zeroes To Heroes So... you've got this band. And it's great, isn't it? But how are you ever going to make it when you and your mates are the only ones that know that? How will anyone else ever find out about you? Sure, you can put your band on Myspace — along with the other 10 million bands with a Myspace page. And you can play gigs — but outside where you live, who's going to know about that? What you need is wider exposure. Imagine you could get your music out on a compilation download album supported and distributed by the world's biggest record companies. Or if you could play live, not just at the local pub, but at one of the UK's biggest Summer festivals. THAT would be just the break you need, right? Well, dream no further. If you enter and win Unsigned Heroes 08, your band could be living that dream! Right now, no-one out there knows your name — but this competition could give you a proper shot at making it big. From Zeroes to Heroes, just like that. The AKG Microphones Unsigned Heroes 08 competition is a search to find the best unsigned band in United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland. If you’re over 18, have a band or act featuring three or more performers (no solo artists, sorry), you are invited to submit an MP3 of your performance of a song for the judges to consider. The song must be an original composition. In keeping with the competition’s aims of encouraging young musical talent, this year’s competition is presented in association with Strummerville, the music charity founded to develop and promote new music in the memory of Clash co-founder Joe Strummer. Thanks to the charity’s involvement, this year’s AKG Unsigned Heroes winners will play live on the Strummerville stage at one of next year’s major Festival.
