Independent retailer Fopp have announced the winners of this year's Fopp Unsigned competition. As previously reported, Fopp are staging battle of the band type competitions in different regions around the country each year - this year it was Scotland. And after much competing, the winners of the Scottish fight are Monkeytribe, Bouchereau, the Abdominal Showmen and Thee Comrades (the latter, of course, already top superstars after their live session on the ThreeWeeks radio show during the Edinburgh Festival this year). All four bands will now record new material this Autumn which will be available to buy in Fopp stores around the country.
Commenting on the unsigned band competition, Fopp Head of Marketing Ryan Latham told CMU: "Our aim is to support unsigned talent, whilst giving Fopp customers the chance to be the first to discover some of new music out there, we very much look forward to hearing the completed output from all the bands and seeing them on sale in Fopp shops soon".
