CONTEST: Gridlink – Win Test Pressings of Gridlink “Longhena”

Decibel and Handshake, Inc. are teaming up to give away TWO (2) copies of Gridlink’s new album Longhena. Why is that so cool? They’re test presses. The kind the label and band get from the pressing plant to spot check for errors and other vinyl-related anomalies. So, test presses, in general, are rare birds. The collective of Decibel and Handshake, Inc. are giving you the chance to win a copy. Pretty sweet, no?
So, what do you, dear Decibel reader, have to do? Oh, sing a bit. No, really.

Actually, it’s Grindcore Karaoke! The TWO (2) best “singers”, as chosen by Decibel, will get a test press of Longhena, courtesy of Handshake, Inc.

Follow these steps and you’re off to grindcore stardom. Well, maybe not in the US. But in Japan? It’s possible…
