It sounds like a new\m/metal festival featuring bands like Anal Corpse and Deathface, but it’s actually a collaborative project by ABC Local Radio across the country to find the greatest bands that never were.

If you were in a band back in the day that was awesome but never sold a record or headlined a gig, then now is your chance to shine.
