Calling all budding rock stars!

Most musicians know that having talent is only half of the battle - making it in the music world is hard as hell and it takes hard graft, solid dedication, patience, and unflinching belief in your band. But what if someone gave you a helping hand to get your foot in the door and the chance to show off your band to the industry’s biggest and best movers and shakers? Well, you and your bandmates might just be in luck…


 

The four short-listed bands will follow a mentoring scheme to help them prepare for the Ultimate Black XS Battle Of The Bands contest, which will take place at London’s Gibson Studios on November 16. Plus they'll win awesome Black XS Live sound gift packs!

During this mentorship, the bands will attend celebrity master classes conducted by some of K!’s biggest names and friends in the music world, offering advice on topics as varied as how to handle the press and how to shred your guitar like a true rock star, plus the chance to be styled by a professional band stylist!
But that’s not all!
The winning band, who will be chosen after the Battle Of The Bands performances, will get their hands on the following money-can’t-buy prizes:
* A deal with Search And Destroy records (home of Fightstar and In Case Of Fire).
* A magazine feature by Kerrang! editorial
* An Epiphone guitar from Gibson
