No Label Need: Public Vote Open Now

The No Label Needed Contest & Series presented by Scion in collaboration with Metal Insider has opened up public voting to enable fans to help pick the winner of an opportunity of a lifetime!

The public can vote now through 3/8 at www.metalinsider.net/nolabelneeded. The public vote is limited to one vote per day per IP address. The collective public vote counts for 20% of the final results. The remainder of voting will be done by an expert panel of notable metal artists, agents, writers and managers.

The winning band will receive a personalized, all-encompassing tutorial focused on the secrets and tips needed to achieve success in the music industry through DIY means of marketing. Winners will be mentored by the members of Shadows Fall, record an EP produced by Machine (Lamb of God, Every Time I Die, Suicide Silence), shop for their stage and photo shoot clothing with Maria Brink (In This Moment) and Rob “Blasko” Nicholson (Ozzy) and receive advice from the likes of Ben Weinman of The Dillinger Escape Plan. Their website will be re-designed, their merch re-imagined and radio and press campaigns mounted to promote their EP by the best in their fields.

The series is not only meant to be a learning experience for one band, it is meant to teach any dedicated musician who wants to learn how to properly market their craft. Readers will be able to interact with contest partners and contributing musicians and professionals through the site to get some real insight into specific areas of expertise.
