A couple of weeks ago we announced the return of MySchoolAct, an online talent competition created exclusively for Australian high school students who live for their music.
If you’re in a band, or a soloist, you simply sign-up to MySchoolAct, upload your video or MP3 and start spreading the word far and wide to build your fan base.
Hundreds of acts are fighting for the the chance to either secure a Sony recording deal worth $50, 000, or a spot on the Big Day Out 2012 line-up. One act in particular has already caught MySchoolAct presenter Nathan Sapsford’s eye. Nathan’s ‘pick of the week’ is Matt Prior and the Wonders of the World , a punk act from Hurlstone Agricultural High School, Glenfield. Sapsford describes the band as having ‘Super punk sensibility, lashings of the Arctic Monkeys carefree early days…Guitar music to dance to is really hard to do…but they’ve nailed it. They’ve only recorded one song…but it’s great…Go forth, listen and vote!” To cast your votes or to check out some of the other acts participating in the MySchoolAct competition this year, head here.
