    having worked with a ton of bands...

    "also the prize is a record deal with a major label."

    this concerns me - most bands end up owing the labels money for the PR they put into your band. bands generally make their money on tour and merch.

    and with so many outlets on the web to promote your music.

    I thought record deals had died.

    I have always thought these shows are 95% about people sucking and making fools of themselves - rather than the 5% that make it to the final round and the 1% that might have music we would listen to.

    I say go for integrity and exposure - but keep it on your terms.
