Sounds Like:

“It’s very exciting to have been part of the foundation of a music event whose reputation is increasing exponentially. This year’s bands were given the opportunity to play in front of a select group of music professionals who can pluck a band out of obscurity and position them for world-wide success. Participate now before GBOB becomes the next SXSW or CMJ."
Gary Helsinger (Universal Music Publishing)

"This wasn't the first time I've been a judge for a battle of the bands contest. It was, however, the first one I truly enjoyed. The level of talent was high, the night was well organized and the entire thing was handled professionally. It was great to be a part of it all."
Joshua Freni (Virgin Records)

"I had a blast being a judge at GBOB. There wasn’t one single band on the stage who didn’t deserve to be there. I really like the concept and hope it grows year on year."
Steve Lillywhite (Producer - U2, Iggy Pop, The Rolling Stones etc)

“Thank you on behalf of Heavy Mojo. We had a great time in every round of the competition, especially the US finals in Los Angeles and playing the historic Astoria in London. I know that it takes a great deal of work to produce an event of this size and we hope that with the opportunities that are now available to Heavy Mojo, we can make 2007 a break-out year for the band and give GBOB the credit it deserves for finding new talent.”
