Band Hunt #865: Sprite Music Rockers

The latest brand to jump on the Indian rock band hunt bandwagon is fizzy drink maker Sprite. Joining a long list of unimaginatively titled (we’re still to find something that beats “Kurkure Desi Beats Rock On with MTV” though) talent hunts is Sprite Music Rockers. Yes. Sprite. Music. Rockers.

Unnecessary double emphasis name aside, the payoff for bands who take the plunge in this contest is an opening slot on a six city tour for “iconic bands”. These “iconic bands” include Them Clones, Bhoomi, Encantada and Luke Kenny.

To enter, your band has to upload a video, which people will vote for. The band with the most votes wins.
