(PR) We got an interesting email today from one of the PR companies we work with. We bring this to your attention because last month a reader asked us about ways to discover new bands (aside from our news and reviews) and this seems to fit the bill. It also allows you to help the bands you discover. Sounds pretty cool to us. Here is the press blurb followed by a link to check it out.Imagine if you will the power to make someone's career with the click of a mouse. OurStage does just that, putting control back in the hands of the people. Like "American Idol" meets "The Lot" on the internet, contestants submit their own music and films to be judged by viewers on the site. It's easy – watch videos, listen to music and vote on what you like. Judging videos is fun and addictive and there are lots of categories to choose from. Pick your favorites in comedy, animation, indie rock, hip hop and many others.
Through its wealth of partner programs, including Paste, CMJ, PLUG Awards, Slamdance, Relix, Gen Art, Noise Pop, Videomaker, IFFBoston, and many others, OurStage offers artists real opportunities to launch their careers. Each month winners in film and music are chosen for a grand prize of $5,000 each as well as other tangible rewards like promotion in mainstream outlets and festival spots. - check it out here
