Does your band want to be a part of an exciting new music series?
Apply to be on BANDED!

BANDED is a Berklee PULSE production—featuring your band’s creative process. Join other breaking Boston bands in showing students across the country how to come together to write, record, and perform a song. You’ll work with Berklee faculty, PULSE producers, and industry insiders to share what you know about music theory and what it takes to be a band.

Audition at bit.ly/PULSEBanded or submit your Sonicbids EPK at sonicbids.com/berkleepulsebanded!

Over the course of several weeks we will commission you to write and record a tune. You will be filmed while composing, rehearsing, and meeting with Berklee faculty; completing weekly production assignments; and being interviewed. At the end, there will be a big performance featuring all of the participating bands. You’ll walk away with a studio recording, professional photos, and press—plus some awesome video. By breaking down your process you will help build up the next generation of musicians.
