COLDCOCK American Herbal Whiskey has announced their first-ever official “Battle of the Bands,” offering unsigned bands the chance for a year-long agency deal with a top booking agency in the industry. Additional prizes will include a record deal with Century Media Records/Another Century Records, a management deal through Street Smart Management, COLDCOCK Whiskey-branded Schecter Guitars, a Sponsorship deal with KRANK Amplifiers, custom REMO Drumheads, Miktek Microphones, Monster Products prize packs, Vic Firth drum sticks and more.
