EA and Virgin Records are teaming up to bring one killer contest to video game fans who are musically inclined. From now until the contest ends, Myspace users can upload, listen, and vote on songs that band from North America and Europe upload to the Bandslam page. The winners will not only get their song in a future version of Burnout but a recording contract with Virgin Records. Second place gets a Epiphone Les Paul custom guitar.
“Many of the biggest bands around the world have been first discovered through EA videogames, and now we are expanding the opportunity to unsigned bands through this year’s Burnout Bandslam,” says Steve Schnur, worldwide executive of music and marketing for EA.
