One Night Only: It's About Time...everyone heard your band!
Britain's hottest new band One Night Only celebrate the release of new single 'It's About Time' (Vertigo, April 28th) by giving unsigned bands all over Britain the chance to support them on their UK headline tour in May 2008.
One band in each town on the tour will win the opening slot at their local gig and one overall winner, as chosen by ONO after the tour, will spend two days in the Vertigo Records recording studio to record professional demos.

Rasmus, Alphabeat: ilikemusic because... It makes me happy and it makes me dance around and sometimes it makes me a bit emotional. It encompasses all the emotions from happiness to sadness and it’s fun to play too.
simon f baker: ilikemusic because... you can transcend the confines of the material world with it, it's probably better than shagging in fact. There is virtually nothing more satisfying than when a load of chords and words suddenly come together into a song ; suddenly everything in life seems to fit and make sense once more.
