.... 各位band 友！想赢十万美元吗？想和你的队友免费飞到英国伦敦表演？要是你们有两首原创歌曲，又想达成以上梦想，快报名参加全球乐队大激斗！ .. ........ ...... .... ..TThe GBOB Challenge is the world’s biggest live talent competition for bands of all genres. We aim to find raw talent wherever it is and expose it to a wider audience! Starting in 2004 with 16 countries participating, 25 countries took part in 2006 and participation continues to grow in 2008 with 37 countries now involved. Every year Local Qualifying Heats and National Finals take place in participating countries around the world, with the winners of these going forward to World Final. .... Winners of National Finals will be presented with a specially designed bronze "Best New Band" statuette and an all-expenses-paid trip to the World Final. The winning band in the World Final will be awarded a band development package worth over $100,000 USD* and a special gold "Best New Band in the World" statuette. *Package includes 1 week in a top London recording studio with a producer, a 10 date United Kingdom tour and 10,000 USD in cash. ....

They were the unanimous first place choice of the judges with Endless Dark from Iceland in second place and Explicit Licks from Norway in third. .... The Global Battle of the Bands is a yearly challenge open to bands of all genres with the top prize being US$100,000 in band development: one week in a London recording studio, a 10-date UK tour and US$10,000 in cold hard cash. The competition is open to all genres and in China in 2009, nearly 100 bands signed on to take part. .... Rustic first won the Beijing final on 20th September 2009 and then went on to win the China final in Hong Kong on 7th November 2009. Before winning the world final, Rustic had already pocketed a Gibson SG guitar, free Dragonair flights & accommodation to Hong Kong as well as a mini-tour of Hong Kong. .... The World Final judging panel comprised of Mads Hauge (co-writer of Natasha Bedingfield’s US smash “Soulmate”, more recently Mads has co-written and produced the 1 hits “Mama Do”,”Boys & Girls” and “Cry Me Out” for Pixie Lott). Alex Revenco (Romanian rock journalist who recently interviewed AC/DC in the States and also Senior Editor for "Jurnalul National" newspaper) and Kjell Haune (Norwegian composer & producer and first Norwegian composer to have two of his own musicals produced in London's West End.) ....
