Ripple Music Announces Sponsorship and Grand Prize Recording Contract for TBFM Factor 2012

 
Ripple Music, home of the "Best retro-rock and metal on the planet" is thrilled to announce it's sponsorship of TBFM Factor 2012 - the biggest "on-air" battle of the bands ever!

TBFM Factor 2012 is presented by internet radio station Total Biker FM, home of hard-driving rock n' roll. This is the second time the station has presented this competition. With so much talent out there TBFM wanted to help promote the top bands and hopefully give them the boost up the ladder that they deserve by setting up a fan voted competition.

In 2010, the station was not fully prepared for what turned out to be an amazing competition with over 4 million hits during the final week which crashed the servers TWICE! The competition was such a great success, they decided to bring it back in 2012, bigger, better and more prepared!

The competition is set over 15 weekly knockout weeks. Music from 10 bands each week will get airplay on the Sunday Show on Total Biker FM and then fans get to vote for one week on which band deserves a place in the final. After 15 weeks, a final place is given to a wildcard, which will be the highest voted for runner up from all the knockout stages.

On week 16 the epic final takes place. All 16 bands get featured on air on a special 4 hour show and then all week during all regular shows while fans vote again for the best band of the competition. The winning band will receive some great prizes including the top prize of an exclusive one album record deal with American label Ripple Music.

This is one lucky band's opportunity to join with Ripple Music and become a label-mate of such roaring artists as Mos Generator, Trucker Diablo, Stone Axe, Iron Claw, Grifter, Poobah, JPT Scare Band and Fen.

More prizes are on offer for the finalists ranging from musical equipment to website memberships to free record mastering. Registration closes on 31st March, 2012 and the competition gets under way on June 10th, 2012 with the grand final in September.

More information on the bands taking part, how to register, prizes and sponsors can be found at www.tbfmfactor.com

150 bands take part over 16 weeks… only one winner!
And a Ripple record contract is the Grand Prize!

Important dates are as follows:

Registration closes 31st March 2012
Qualifying Bands Line-Up announced 13th May 2012
Competition starts 10th June 2012 for 15 weeks
The final will be on 23rd September 2012
Winner announced 30th September 2012

The Ripple Effect

“Experimentally proggy, technically over the head, and brutal all at the same time, these guys hear music in their own unique way and aren’t afraid to stretch their sound to distant and, as of yet, unimaginable dimensions... This is the type of album that will make you question all that you know, or think that you know, about music… ”



Metal Underground

“From breakdowns behind classical female vocals to gut-wrenching screams and syncopation, the band covers more ground than Rambo ripping through a jungle…  A surrealistic venture through several genres of haunting ass-kickings, because this is an album meant to frighten, impress, and envelope the listener.

WIN! WIN! WIIIIIIIIN!

Yes people! For the first time ever, we're giving something away!

But I won't tell you what that something is, you'll have to guess. I'll give you guys some clues about the mystery giveaway and you send in your answers along with a few stuff. Got it? Got it.

The Clues:
1. It's related to the current special, so they're a boyband.
2. It's a current single, but which one?
3. Their new album comes out sometime in the first quarter of the year, so that narrows it down a bit.
4. They're not from Asia.
5. I've professed my love for them a few times already.
6. They weren't on my 'Best of 2008' list, but they should have been!
7. I've never posted any of their videos.

Think you know the answer? here's how to enter.

1. You have to be a US resident(I think that's another clue!), because you'll have to e-mail your US mailing address along with your name and of course, the answer to samanthaparkington@gmail.com
2. There will be five copies given away, so only the first five correct answers will get the single in question!

haha. Get thinking and sending people! The contest closes once I publish my last boyband-related post, so you never know when that is! haha.
