Electronic Arts' 2nd Burnout Bandslam has just been concluded, with over 5,000 bands from the U.S. and 2,100 bands from other locations participating. Two and a half million MySpace users took part in the initial judging with the final selection conducted by an expert panel. The two grand prize winners, "Never Heard Of It" (U.S.) and "Showing Off To Thieves" (UK, Europe), walked away victorious.

Winners of the contest will receive a demo recording deal with Virgin Records and EA. They also get a chance to have their song included in a future Burnout videogame. One Runner-Up band from the U.S. and from each of the participating countries across Europe will receive one Epiphone Les Paul Custom Guitar.

European Winner – Showing Off To Thieves
They clinched the top spot with their debut single "Everyone has their secrets". Driven by powerful vocals, incisive lyrics and crushing rhythms, their distinctly British sound has captured the attention of the people from MySpace.

U.S. Winner – Never Heard Of It (NHOI)
This independent band is considered on of the hardest working bands on tour. As of 2001, they have self-booked and financed 11 U.S. tours and even expanded their schedule to Europe and Japan. They have been asked to play The Warped Tour two years in a row. They have also started their own label called Unmotivated Records, put out a full length CD and got a nationwide distribution deal because of their extensive touring and fantastic tracks.

The full list of Runner-Ups:
  • UK- Inuendo
  • U.S. – The Sun Also Rises
  • Denmark- Zenith
  • Sweden- Anagoes
  • Norway- Jeroan Drive
  • Ireland- Boss Volenti
  • Germany- More Than Crossed
  • Spain- Avenue and Silhouettes
  • Russia – Apshell
  • Italy – Let Me In
  • France - Kiemsa
  • Holland – Note to Amy
The next Burnout is currently being developed for the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360 and you can expect a ripping soundtrack for the game. Another thing you might want to watch out for is Burnout Dominator for the PSP which will be out this April 27.

Who cares what a bunch of MySpace users think? Nothing but emos on MySpace, and emos aren't people. Or rather, people with horrible tastes in music
