Local bands have a chance at stardom through a global battle of the bands.
Hard Rock Café is sponsoring "Hard Rock Rising."
This is how it works: You vote for your favorite on the Hard Rock facebook page. Www.facebook.com/hardrockcafemyrtlebeach The winner from each restaurant will compete until the field is narrowed to 25 bands. You then vote on facebook again. Then, a panel of music industry professionals, including Steven Van Zandt of the E Street Band, Live Nation Senior Vice President of Music Toby Leighton-Pope, and Hard Rock Records' Artist Relations Executives John Kirkpatrick, James Buell and Blake Smith, chooses the winner and two runner up bands.
The winner will get a world tour, make an album and music video and receive $10,000 in new gear.
