J. DâADDARIO/GUITAR.COM/FUSE TV âWEâRE LISTENINGâ
CONTEST WINNER ANNOUNCED
Hard Rock Band Copper Takes the Gold
FARMINGDALE, NY, July 22, 2005âItâs happened. A winner has been selected for the historic J. DâAddario/Guitar.com, Fuse TV âWeâre Listeningâ contest, which drew nearly 3,000 bands and 41,000 individual voters. Copper, out of Knoxville, Tennessee have been chosen as âThe greatest band weâve never heardâ â until now.
Nearly 3,000 bands uploaded songs in MP3 format onto the Weâre Listening web page with more than 41,000 votes cast to whittle the entrants down to a top 150. The voting closed April 15, and DâAddarioâs panel of judges carefully listened to each Top 150 song, breaking the group down to a Top 20, which was then scrutinized once again. The judging was done by a panel of experts at DâAddario plus guest judges Jeff Stinco of Simple Plan, former Marilyn Manson guitarist John 5, Janeâs Addiction bassist Chris Chaney, former Megadeth bassist David Ellefson, producers Roy Z and Joe Beressi, and others. At the end of the long, intense judging process, Copper came out on top.
Copper, a melodic hard rock band, won the judges over with their song âTurn.â The band nets prizes ranging from an endorsement deal from J. DâAddario, a place in the next DâAddario television advertisement on Fuse TV and an appearance on Fuse TVâs live âDaily Download,â to full-page print ads, lots of J. DâAddario product, including gear from DâAddario, Evans drumheads, and Planet Waves cables and accessories, and more. Although Copper has not been signed to any label, theyâve been making a good name for themselves on their own, performing more than 200 shows a year in 23 cities.
âWeâre honored to have made the cut as âThe Best Band Youâve Never Heard,â and itâs exciting to be associated with brands like DâAddario, Evans, and Planet Waves â they make some of the best products for musicians in the world, and are a company that has always supported music,â says Copper guitarist Keith Wallen. âWeâd like to thank all of the fans who voted for us in the first round and the judges who ultimately selected us from what was a really great pool of talent.â
âDâAddario has always supported the grass-roots bands and artists who are looking for a chance to make it,â says Grace Newman, J. DâAddario Senior Manager, Artists and Promotions. âCopper has a really solid touring base, and have played with bands like Crossfade, The Exies, and Seether. Their website has gotten more than 300,000 visitors, and theyâve sold over 6,000 of their CDs, which is remarkable in that they havenât been signed to a label yet. âTurnâ is a great song; there were a lot of great songs. Copper came out on top.â
