Two years ago, I interviewed The Fratellis for Rock Cellar Magazine (see elsewhere on this blog). Now they've got a cool contest going. Read below for more info...
Multi-platinum award-winning Scottish rock band The Fratellis just announced their global music competition. It will give one unknown music artist or band a platform to success.
This prize features a studio session to record the artist or band’s winning single, which will be mixed by The Fratellis’ producer/mixer, Tony Hoffer (Angels & Airwaves, Fitz and the Tantrums, Elle King) and a chance to win a worldwide deal to release a single with Cooking Vinyl Records.
The winner will also get the opportunity to work with The Fratellis themselves, including one-on-one time with the band through an online masterclass, and a slot on a virtual upcoming Fratellis gig (date TBA).
To get involved, upcoming talent are invited to submit their tracks via @Vype_worldwide Instagram page, with both the shortlist and the final selection being chosen by The Fratellis themselves. The entire experience will be professionally marketed, including the creation of a music video of the unknown talent’s record.
A behind-the-scenes style video with The Fratellis will also be shared across The Fratellis’ and Vype’s social channels for the world to see. The competition runs through October 28. Applicants must read the T&Cs (+ Privacy Notice) before getting started. The winner will be chosen on November 2. Watch the full commercial HERE.
“We’re proud to be working with Vype to give a new artist the chance to work with some of the most talented professionals in the music industry…and The Fratellis! Getting our first proper single released through a big label was a huge deal for us so it will be exciting to help a new artist achieve this milestone and hopefully see them go on to have a long career in music,” says The Fratellis.
The Fratellis are a multi-platinum Scottish rock band from Glasgow, formed in 2005, consisting of lead vocalist and guitarist Jon Fratelli, bassist and backing vocalist Barry Fratelli, and drummer and backing vocalist Mince Fratelli. The Fratellis recently announced their sixth studio album titled Half Drunk Under a Full Moon, to be released on April 9, 2021, alongside the launch of a UK and European tour. The album features the single, “Six Days In June,” which released earlier this year. Listen to it HERE.
Formed in Glasgow in 2005, the band put out their debut album Costello Music a year later and it spawned the worldwide hit “Chelsea Dagger.” The song went double-platinum and led to The Fratellis winning the Brit Award for British Breakthrough Act in 2007. A successful second album, Here We Stand, followed in 2008 before an indefinite hiatus.
Since reforming in 2012, The Fratellis have put out three well-received studio albums.
