Six WA music publications - including yours truly - have been pitted against each other by each backing a band for a coveted spot at the 2016 Falls Downtown Music Festival.

Featuring six bands from the local Perth music scene from a different array of genres, it’s a great chance for a local band to get exposure.

Under the “Foster a Band” moniker, the bands and media publications involved in the fostering include:

Pow Negro fostered by Cool Perth Nights

Bells Rapid fostered by Isolated Nation

Phocal fostered by Pilerats

Dream Rimmy fostered by The Music

Gold Suns fostered by the West Australian

The Hunting Birds fostered by Music Insight

The band will be decided via public vote and the winner will gain a spot in the Falls 2016 Line-up.

Voting is now open! You can vote via the link below:
