SonyBMG label RCA have announced a competition for new bands that will kick off at the RCA Live 1 event at IndigO2 in London on 28 May.
The event, which will feature performances from The Hoosiers, Sandi Thom, Beat Company, Suga Rush, Sam Beeton and The Script, will also have a "demo drop" stand, where aspiring artists can submit their own music. All demos will be listened to by the label's A&R team and the band judged the best will win a day in a recording studio with a top producer.
RCA MD Craig Logan said: "RCA are constantly looking for great artists and great songs... We have a large and eclectic roster and we will consider music from any genre".
