Dear TC Eckstein, Vocalese,

Are you ready to battle for Hard Rock Rising 2013!? Your song is now live and will remain active in the competition until February 11th, at 4:00pm EST.

What Now?  
Increase your downloads - aka "votes": Start by letting your fans know about the competition. You're competing for a chance to play London's Hard Rock Calling as part of a World Tour, make an album and video with Hard Rock Records, and win new gear! Additionally, if you win the local competition and are named a Local Finalist, you'll take home $250 (equivalent in local currency), a $250 Hard Rock Cafe Gift Certificate, and move on to the global voting round; one step closer to the ultimate grand prize.

Custom URL: Use this link to direct your fans to the Hard Rock Rising 2013 competition app on Facebook with YOUR SONG pre-populated at the top.

How will you gain votes?  
Your song is now available for download from your local participating Hard Rock Cafe's Facebook page. One download = one vote. Downloading/voting will take place online until Feb 11. Fans can download tracks for free to "vote" for the band(s) they want to see participate in their city. Each download will count as a vote for that band. Fans can vote for as many bands as they would like, but they can only vote for each band once and will be required to "Like" the local Hard Rock Facebook page. There is no registration or fee required for fans.

OFFICIAL RULES REMINDER: If you are participating at a cafe located within the US, votes will only be accepted by fans who are located within a 100-mile radius. They can still receive a free download but their vote will not be accepted. If you are participating at a cafe outside the US, votes will be accepted by fans located within the country you are participating in.

Promote your song using FREE ReverbNation marketing tools  
We've put together a promotional checklist to guide you through the process, maximizing exposure and fan downloads. See below. If you have any questions about the program, please refer to these Artist FAQs.

So what are you waiting for?!

Good luck!
