Mike Pinder's Bandwars is an opportunity to get your music heard. This contest is open to all genres of independent performing bands/solo artists. Mike Pinder has created a competition to help songwriting bands/solo artists in practical ways. He understands the obstacles bands must overcome to be in a position to have their original material recorded, showcased, and marketed. Mike has put together a package of awards to bring up-and-coming bands/solo artists to a new position to promote their careers.

Enter your band for a chance to win a 40-minute showcase at Red Gorilla Music Fest in Austin TX, plus recording time at a major studio, just to name a few of the prizes.

Mike has a strong sense of artistic responsibility to support the development of music from one generation to the next. He has a desire to help new talent refine their art and be validated through that process. His songwriting competitions are the result of his vision and passion.
