I’m super excited to put this contest up, because you guys are going to love it.
I don’t know how many of you have heard of this band, Elba. They’re totally rad and named themselves after the Italian island that Napoleon resided on when he was forced to abdicate and then exiled from France. Dude escaped though, and managed to regain power, y’know. Anyway, this isn’t a history lesson, it’s a fucking contest!
These guys really truly live up to their name, breaking away from the simple pop they’ve been labeled as, bringing an interesting element of unconventional song structure and unique voices to the scene.
All that being said, they’re going on tour this month to promote their third album, being released September 22nd.
We wanna give two lucky people that album. For free.
