words by
The nice people at Diesel are good to us. Again they have supported new music by launching Diesel-U-Music 2006 - a competition that seeks out the finest unsigned and unsung talents around and rewards its winners with support for a further year, making sure that the little people don't get stiffed by the industry.
On Thursday of last week (29th June) Loud And Quiet attended the launch of this year's awards to suss out what happens next. And… well… it's pretty simple. What follows the announcement of this year's hopefuls is a national tour on which you can check out the nominees for yourself. Once that wraps up at the end of this month - and after a little breathing time - a winner from each of the three categories contending this year will be chose at a televised ceremony in October of this year.
