Rock Sound BSM Football Tournament Groups Announced

Tall Ships, Los Campesinos / Wichita and Red Bull all fear for their lives after being drawn in Rock Sound's group!

The Rock Sound sponsored BSM 5-A-Side Football Tournament is gathering pace as the first round groups have been confirmed as follows:

Group A
Alcopop Records
Idle Hands Management
Front Magazine / Devil PR
Fear And Records

Group B
Rock Sound
Tall Ships
Los Campesinos / Wichita
Red Bull

Group C
Big Life Management
Big Scary Monsters
Get Cape Wear Cape Fly
Hassle Records

Group D
Punktastic
Banquet Records
Rolo Tomassi
Hold Your Horse Is / Stagecoach

Team Rock Sound is in the so-called Hollywood group and Big Scary Monsters owner Kevin Douch is quick to warn that the path to the final eight might not be clear:

"It's hard to know how to rate Rock Sound's chances in this year's tournament as they face the daunting challenge of not one but three unknown quantities in this years 'Hollywood' group of big names. Red Bull are captained by a former competition winner with Punktastic and it would be hard to not end this sentence without making a joke about having wings. So there you go. Los Campesinos/Wichita (featuring a couple of Frankie and The Heartstrings members) certainly seem to know their stuff, but with rumours of a 6am train out of Cardiff the morning of the event for half the squad, questions could be raised over their stamina. Only time will tell.

And last but probably least (sorry boys) is Tall Ships, one of the newest and most promising BSM signings who have the look of a side who were probably good when they were young, before discovering sex, drugs and rock'n'roll. I have a feeling they may struggle to get through the group but it's safe to say they'll have the whole label cheering them on all the same. Sorry Rock Sound!"
