Birmingham's Kerrang! Radio and the Soundstation Festival have announced the winner of their unsigned band competition, the prize of which is a set at this weekend's festival. The hosts of Kerrang! Radio's unsigned band show, Rob and Loz, worked their way through hundreds of demos from local bands and finally picked out My Alamo - a Birmingham band who, the competition's organisers tell us, "blend ruthless guitar riffs with charismatic melodies that stay with you".
My Alamo will now play alongside Graham Coxon, Orson, Boy Kill Boy and The Crimea at the Soundstation Festival, which takes place at Birmingham's Eastside Park this Sunday. The band tell us they are "over the moon" to be added to the bill, adding: "Its about time Birmingham had their own festival, Soundstation has been long awaited and we are grateful to be playing in our hometown."
