The Best Of NME Breakthrough This Week

NME launched its search for the best unsigned band in the UK this week. The winning act will play onstage at Club NME KOKO in London, get a page feature in NME’s Radar section and come into NME HQ to get an EPK made for them. To enter you will need to sign your band up to NME Breakthrough Supported By BlackBerry by August 16 – our team of writers and experts will be sifting through every profile over the next four weeks. After that we’ll announce our shortlist which will go up for the public vote.
