The band also receives a $5000 cash award prize, tons of AirWalk gear, and an all expense paid trip to Austin, TX, where the showcase is held. The competition was strictly based on fan votes and the prestigious judges associated with competition. Thousands of bands submitted to the competition, and only 10 bands were chosen to compete in the voting frenzy, which took place over the last few months.

"Hard work does pay off, and if you keep on being persistent, things will happen," says Expo, Emcee & Vocalist of AMF. "Most importantly, we want to thank all of our fans for voting for us. With the recent release of our sophomore album, Transients, becoming a finalist in Rockstar 98.7's unsigned band contest and being featured on the homepage of Purevolume.com last month, this couldn't have come at a better time. We are more than ready for SxSW next year, the question is, is SxSW ready for us?!"

Originally from Boston, AUDIBLE MAINFRAME moved to the Los Angeles in 2006 and have been wowing crowds ever since with their powerful lyrics and high-energy stage show. AMF includes six young musicians comprised of a vocalist, guitar, bass, drummer, keyboards/trumpet, and a DJ who combine their musical talent with the realities of everyday life in pure, hip hop form. Vocalist and Emcee, Exposition (a.k.a. Expo), takes the crowd on a journey of poverty, anger, happiness, and revolution through his masterful diction and rhyme. The AMF sound has been compared to such groups as The Roots, Rage Against the Machine, De La Soul, and Radiohead; however, their combination of old and new hip-hop gives AUDIBLE MAINFRAME a fresh, eclectic sound with a creative message that sets them apart from the rest.

AMF has created a remarkable hype within the industry being asked to support various superstars such as Damian Marley, Arrested Development, Common, Blackalicious, Tone Loc and Biz Markie. The band's most notable collaborations include an opening act slot for Slick Rick, which then led to a backing band role for his national tour from 2006-2007. They later recorded a live band re-creation of the classic hip-hop album "Dah Shinin' with Smiff N' Wessun.

Audible Mainframe recently released their sophomore album, Transients, a 13-song, self-produced album, that reflects the journey the band has been on for the last six years. It offers an eclectic mix of hip-hop, soul, and dance grooves; telling stories about the bands childhood memories, triumphs together, and staying positive through rough times. The album features a new lineup of instrumentation and presents an uplifting twist in today's hip-hop world by incorporating a combination of acoustic & electronic beats and real musician flare. In comparison to their last album, Transients is a more mature AMF - lyrically, musically and spiritually. Transients is currently available for purchase digitally on ITunes.com or online at CDBaby.com as well as their official website www.theaudiblemainframe.com. The CD can also be purchased at select retail stores and at their live shows.
