Hall Of Fame
Many bands have passed through Red Bull Bedroom Jam over the years often going on to great things.
From You Me At Six’s #4 album to My Passion’s current UK-slaying Kerrang! tour, here are some of our favourites from over the years…
You Me At Six
The Surrey rockers are a fine example of the potential success available to bands uploading their tracks to Red Bull Bedroom Jam.
Entering RBBJ in 2007, the five-piece built on their hard work and continued their rapid ascent to fame, garnering positive reviews from numerous corners of the rock press.
In 2010, the band sealed their reputation as their second album 'Hold Me Down' debuted at #5 in the album charts.
Speaking to the Red Bulletin last year, the band explained the opportunities offered to bands who get involved with Red Bull Bedroom Jam,
"Bedroom Jam is a really good way to debut new material," says Matt. "We had a couple of new songs around that time and sometimes you're a bit cautious to just give them away on the internet. So to be able to play the songs live but be able to measure people's reactions to them too was really good."
My Passion
The uber-fashionable four-piece have leapt from their Red Bull Bedroom Jam appearance to being one of Kerrang!’s hottest tips for 2010.
My Passion are Laurence, John, Simon and Jonathan and hale from Hitchin, Hertfordshire. After a few years chasing a break, the foursome are currently finding huge success off the back of their debut album 'Corporate Flesh party', released May 2009.
And all of this since they uploaded their music to Red Bull Bedroom Jam in 2008! As well as playing the Red Bull Bedroom Jam stages at Underage Festival, Download and T in The Park, the Hitchin lads' music has been used in ads for Red Bull's X Fighters Motocross event and in the teen drama, Freak, in which the characters attend a My Passion gig.
Picking up a Best British Newcomer nomination in Kerrang!'s 2009 polls, 2010 looks bright for My Passion as the bequiffed wonders continue to win fans around the globe, starting with a much sought after place on the annual Kerrang! Tour.
Saving Aimee
They may be currently on hiatus, but will the much missed sextet re-emerge to thrill their faithful following?.
Now disbanded, London six-piece Saving Aimee created quite a stir in the world of Red Bull Bedroom Jam. Together for four years, the band recorded their first EP in 2006 earning them tours with the likes of Enter Shikari, Simple Plan, Fightstar, Go:Audio, Kill Hannah, McFly and former Darkness frontman Justin Hawkin's Hot Leg.
Despite great reviews, a burgeoning fanbase and a Radio 1 playlist nod for their single ‘We Are The Good Guys’, in December 2009 the band announced they were are taking time out to work out future projects. However, messages on the band's Twitter feed suggest the SA boys may be back sooner than we thought: “Merry Christmas... Most of us will be back next year.. transformed! X” Good news indeed!
