Some random quotes from the jury about the winning track: “The guitar riffs are great, reminds of Foals. Nice and tight.”
“A great potential player, I’d say.”
“Spring Break is a remarkably confident, often troubling debut that excels at both forward-thinking and good old-fashioned music.”
And here is the jury panel, that will eventually elect the winner of the fender Stratocaster for our first Spring Contest:

Today we are launching a new series of regular contests that will reward your music inspiration.
The first of them is the Spring contest, a competition without a specific theme where you just have to unleash your inspiration and record your music. The better it is the more likely to enter the final stage.
You have two weeks time from now, contest is open until the 6th of April, then you will have to support your track to make it one of the five finalists, more details on this very soon.
The shortlist will be submitted to a jury of artists and music professionals that will decree the final winner.
