The Gay Blades, LMFAO, Trouble Andrew, Mavado, and Colin Munroe featuring Joel Ortiz & Black Milk are all vying for your vote that will get them into video rotation.

The Gay Blades:

This New Jersey duo debut their gritty corporate-garage rock with stellar guitar riffs and a snarky attitude. Don’t forget to take note of their clever winks to the audience and the occasional homage to Bowie.

LMFAO:

Taking advantage of the emerging wave of synth-pop, LMFAO matches their music with lyrics as cheeky as their name. All about girls, fun and parties, the songs are guaranteed to get you dancing. (In your tiny polka dot bikini.)

Trouble Andrew:

Pro-boarder Trevor Andrew experiments with a whole 1980s sound and look, blending together programmed beats with a jolt of thrumming bass to deliver the perfect touch of punk rock.

Mavado:

This dancehall artist comes straight from the heart of Kingston, Jamaica bringing an authenticity to his smooth easy vocal styling.

Colin Munroe:

Already able to count Kayne West and Mark Ronson as fans, Munroe draws on personal stories and life experience to create his soulful intrciate pop melodies.
