TNT From Goa Make It To The Red Bull Spotlight College Band Hunt

GOA:
Earlier this year, Red Bull Spotlight, a nation-wide programme to identify and support top talent across various fields, kicked off with a band hunt. Competitions were held in nine cities across the country – Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Guwahati, Goa and Pune – with one band emerging victorious in each city.
Each of the nine finalists were sent into a studio in their city to record one song, and it’s now time to determine the best of the lot. For one month, all nine songs will be available to listen to and vote for, and at the end of this period, one band will be adjudged the national winner. The winning band will get the opportunity to record a full-length album at a professional studio, along with a number of other benefits, including a press kit – complete with a photo shoot and album art for their newly recorded album.
