Along with Slash, I signed away my soul to Jack Daniels in the 90's - they threatened giving me a hangover for eternity in the afterlife if I didn't. So with Music Towers' blood still drying on the contract, we bring you news of their new unsigned competition.
The JD Set Unsigned is a competition with a difference, as it is offering one of the most exclusive deals you can get as a new artist: a shiny spanking new agent in the form of X-Ray Touring. Record deals are easy to get compared with a decent agent, and this offers competition is offering representation from the best in the country. They look after acts from PJ Harvey to Coldplay, Robbie Williams to Bat for Lashes - so if you want to get onto the festivals next year, these are the people you want. Winning this competition is the best thing you can do pretty much, to get your heads' above the parapit.
The rules: Some of you have to be students, upload your recordings online at www.thejdset.com/unsigned or send an old fashioned CD to The JD Set Unsigned 2008, 60 Parker Street, London, WC2B 5PZ. Do all this before Friday 8th January. Then bask in the shiny glory if/when you win. And of course give us a direct line for an interview if you win after hearing about it through Music Towers.
