What is Unsigned about?

The search for the hottest Unsigned bands (bands not signed to a major record label). These bands will write and perform their own music, they'll be critiqued by industry experts, and voted on by the TV viewers. The program will also air a behind the scenes look at the participating bands. Unsigned is designed to appeal to the inner talent scout in all of us. The viewer gets to play the role of lable executive, and choose which band should win.

How are the bands chosen?

Bands submit their press kits to participating sponsors, and are reviewed by a selection committee, producers, etc. Selected bands will be placed on qualifiers in their respective cities, and we'll determine who moves on to the finale based on performance, sound, originality, stage presence, crowd response, and overall appeal. Bands may also send an email to info@unsignedrock.com for more details. The line-up for the pilot has been finalized, but we'll announce when we need press kits for the next season.

What will the winner receive?

For the pilot episode, the winning band will play at Buzzfest for 94.5 The Buzz. They will also get studio time at Sugar Hill Recording Studios, a guaranteed audition for Unsigned when it's picked up nationally, and at least one other prime gig, such as the Budweiser stage at sporting events, concerts, etc.

How will the winner be chosen?

The live audience, judges and TV/internet viewers will vote for the band that deserves to win. The live audience voted at the filming of the finale. The judges also voted. The TV viewers will be able to vote immediately after Unsigned airs. Scoring is comprised of 25% live audience vote, 25% judges vote, and 50% TV viewer vote. The winning band will be announced on 94.5 The Buzz, so stay tuned.
