HAILEYBURY, ON, CANADA, September 04, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- In order to generate sufficient votes to win a prestigious performance showcase at SXSW, the world's largest music expo, the Toronto hard rock/electronica band is conducting an electronic crusade. This prize includes an interview in SPIN Magazine and $5000 cash.
"The contest closes on September 30th' , said Kent Martell, singer and guitarist for the group, "So, we are asking our friends, families and fans to help spread the enthusiasm and compel people to visit the contest page on the Internet to hear our music and vote for us. We'd be crazy if we didn't do everything possible to be there in 2010".
In addition to their viral campaign, Awaking State and Airwalk are providing prize packs for promotional giveaways and servicing conventional and niche media as well as circulating their EP 'Into the Machine', and tracks from their new project, produced and mixed by Grammy-winning Sylvia Massy (Tool, Johnny Cash, System of a Down).
The band's club remixes have garnered airplay on the BBC and risen to No. 2 on BeatPort Charts. "Into the Machine - The Remixes" is available on Furious Records. "Bury Me", a collaboration between Awaking State and Antiform, is the lead single from their album "City in Exile", and is generating interest in the band on the other side of the world. They appear at the Barrie, Ontario New Music festival, September 10.
