Xbox Soundtracks Competition

Undiscovered British bands invited to submit tunes to accompany Microsoft game trailers.

Unsigned bands, bedroom DJs and singers are to be given the chance to make their dreams of stardom a reality, as Microsoft Xbox announces a national campaign to find Britain’s hottest new undiscovered music talent at www.xbox.com/music.

From today, Xbox is looking for up and coming artists to create their own music to fit the visuals of Xbox 360 game trailers. Entrants to the ‘Soundtracks’ competition will be able to download a range of trailers from xbox.com/music to produce music to. Aspiring musicians then simply have to upload their track and video back to the site where anyone can view and rate their efforts. The winner will then win time in a state-of-the-art recording studio, to lay down their track for real with the help of a professional production team, and walk away with a professional demo tape.

The competition was launched by hot new band Enter Shikari, who have created an exclusive track for Blue Dragon.
