VINYL is suddenly groovy again, and vinyl subscription service, Hurd , has launched an online battle of the bands competition in the lead up to Record Store Day.

The competition is aimed at unsigned UK artists performing either as a group or individually in any genre of music.

The top ten entries, as decided by Hurd’s expert panel, will be revealed on Record Store Day, April 22. for a public vote.

The artist that receives the most votes will see two of their tracks pressed to limited edition colour 7” vinyl. The winner will also have their vinyl distributed as part of Hurd’s record club in July.
