UnchartTED

Tooheys Extra Dry (TED) has long been a supporter of Australian music festivals including Big Day Out, Splendour in the Grass, Great Escape, Playground Weekender and more. Through this association, TED has increasingly become involved in the support of emerging music and up and coming bands. 

uncharTED 07 winners Krill, plus Midnight Juggernauts, Faker, Sleepy Jackson, Wolf & Cub, The Spazzy's, The Herd and End of Fashion are just some of the bands that have been part of the TED 'Bands on cans' initiative to help bring new fresh bands and fresh sounds to the Aussie public.

Now with uncharTED, Tooheys Extra Dry has created a dedicated on-going program for the support and promotion of fresh new emerging music and Australian talent. A program designed in partnership with Australia's largest record label, SONY BMG, to actually build a home for budding unsigned local Aussie bands to speak and reach the wider Aussie public.

A ground breaking A&R program to discover and break talent, uncharTED is a national competition where the public vote on "who will make it" and help to decide who will be in the running to win from one of the largest prize pools ever offered to a breaking band:

A firm record deal with SONY BMG Red Label.
A spot on the 2009 Big Day Out national tour.
Support gigs with showcase headline acts.
National airplay and exposure on-pack, online and through media investment

For your chance to become rock gods with one of the largest breaking band prize pools ever offered, upload your creativity by following the link on the uncharTED homepage.

Your music will be on the uncharTED site for the A&R superheroes at SonyBMG to suss out and for the public to check out - and VOTE. Yes, your Aussie friends, family and peers will determine the winning band here! The more people you bring in to vote, the better you chances are. Don’t worry about your ego, vote for yourself too!

With the digital music revolution upon us, the uncharTED program allows the public to bring bands to the record labels, rather than the labels bringing the bands to the public! So get all digital on us and load up your best mp3 tracks, photos and anything else that will help you shine (even videos if you have them).

It’s your opportunity to impress and ensure your fresh sounds are found. To register a band or vote for your favourite band click here
