MyTune.com

Attention all band members! There is a new social networking site for you. MyTune. com is a site devoted to music fans, bands, and industry professionals. Bands that have a competitive edge and are looking to make it big should become a member. The site is sponsored by major music labels including Universal Music, Interscope, Verve, Sony, RCD, Iceberg, and many others.

Just like Myspace, MyTune.com gives fans the opportunity to listen to and comment on bands music. In fact, fans are able to vote on their favorite songs and bands. Every three months the top three bands listened to and played will have their music heard by major record labels and are eligible to win prizes. The top pick will win $5,000 and the cahnce to record a demo. The four finalists at the end of the years will be further eligible to be able to compete in an online version of battle of the bands to win $25,000, a record deal, and the acclaimed title "Artist of the Year" on MyTune.com

I think the site will begin to eliminate the need to send out press packets to major labels. By becoming a member and making a profile on MyTune.com all a bands information and music are made readily available for industry executives to take a look. I think MyTune.com is a site to definitely keep an eye on if you are a fan of up-and-coming music. Become a member and get active in listening and voting. You could be part of making the next discovered band famous!
