Last year, Converse Rubber Tracks’ contest was a great success with bands from all over Indonesia submitting their music for a chance to record at Converse Rubber Tracks studio in Brooklyn, New York. If you followed the contest, Polka Wars won thanks to your votes, and recently flew to New York to record 3 new songs.
Great news for new bands and everyone who would like to try their luck at recording again because Rubber Tracks is back, and this time it is open for everyone across the globe. Converse Rubber Tracks is working with 12 of the world’s most renowned recording studios (listed below), and you can submit your music for a chance to record in one of them.
This time, Rubber Tracks isn’t a contest like the previous years, bands are welcomed to submit their music and if selected will get an all paid for trip to the studio of their choice. There’s really nothing to lose and a lot to gain, so do send your music through the following link:
