Carling have launched a search for new bands, with the winners getting the chance to play on one of the many Carling sponsored venues around the country.

Aspiring bands can visit
Carling.comand upload two of their best tracks along with a biography and picture. You'd better be quick about it though as the closing date to enter is 10th August 2007.

An online vote will determine the best local bands in each region with a final four invited to play in front of an independent panel of judges at a Carling Supports night which will be advertised in the national press.

The best band at the Carling Supports night will get the chance to perform live on stage at their local Carling Academy, enjoy seeing their name in print in a national music magazine and have their two best tracks featured on a specially produced Carling Supports CD.

The dates and venues where all four bands will perform are:

Carling Academy 2 Birmingham - Sunday 2nd September
Carling Academy 2 Liverpool - Monday 3rd September
Carling Academy 2 Newcastle - Tuesday 4th September
Carling Academy 2 Bristol - Wednesday 5th September
Mezzanine Bar at Carling Academy Glasgow - Thursday 6th September
