Today we’re proud to be announcing what can only be described as an amazing opportunity for aspiring bands. We’ve teamed up with the brand new recording at studio Price Studios (based in Clapham, London), to offer the recording of a single for FREE.
The winning band will be working with producer Sam Featherstone, and will walk away with a professionally recorded track. You can hear some of Sam’s work in the playlist below – here’s what he had to say about the competition:
“I’m looking forward to hearing the submissions we get. It’s always great to hear new music and it’s going to be cool to choose one of the bands to come and record in the studio. For me it’s a fun way to help promote new bands and also to show that Price Studios is a place where people can feel comfortable coming to record their tracks. I’m sure we’ll have some exciting submissions and I look forward to working with the winners to get their song sounding great.”
What we’re looking for
Sam and Punktastic Editor Tom will be selecting one band from our submissions to win this excellent prize, and we’re looking for…
a) a band that suits the loose genres that Punktastic covers (Punk/Pop Punk/Hardcore)
b) a song that’s currently available in demo or listenable recorded form but not previously released
c) a band that aren’t in an exclusive record deal for their releases
d) a band that are able to get to Price Studios to record
So, if you’re interested in this opportunity (and we’re hoping to add some additional things on top of the recording to make this EXTRA special), then please get involved. You have until 23:59 on Sunday February 02 to send the following to tom.aylott@punktastic.com with the title “Submission For Price Studios Competition”.

2. Up to 100 words on why we should pick your band
