Starting in mid-November, all eligible bands will be added to a round of public voting at http://getoutofthegarage.sonicbids.com, where their band’s information will be posted and the fans will decide which bands will move on to the judging round.
The Top 100 bands will move on and be reviewed by a panel of music industry judges. These judges will select the Top 10 bands who will move on to the final voting round in January, during which the fans will determine the Grand Prize Winner of the Get Out of the Garage Contest. So, it’s important to keep your fans engaged!
One question remains: It’s your song, but will it be your stage?
