UPDATE: Day 2 question has been posted!

We just turned 2 last week and we thought this would be a great opportunity to celebrate our birthday whilst giving something back to the community.

One of music’s most popular bands, Linkin Park will be heading out on the road this October/November for shows scheduled in Germany, Austria and the UK with more dates to follow. In conjunction with the release of their imminent fourth studio album and the tour, MTGH is offering you, the fan, a chance to win a free one month membership to the band’s official fanclub – Linkin Park Underground.

Rules are simple, here’s what is up for grabs!

The indie rock trio from Florida had released their sophomore effort titled Spain last August which peaked at #138 of the US Top 200 Billboard Albums chart, a rather impressive feat. Being fans of the band, we figured we would provide them with some exposure in this region and featured them as our band of the month in October 2009 on the website.

Recently, we had the opportunity to have the band answer a few questions in a brief interview:

As we usher in the New Year, the MTGH crew is feeling generous! Five prize packs are up for grabs which contain stickers, fliers, CDs, a t-shirt and various promo material we have lying around that only you music fans and avid memorabilia collectors would appreciate. Best of all, there is no catch and winning them is simple!

Back in August we had the opportunity to interview one of Singapore’s heavy metal bands, Suicide Solution. With their third album released recently and a slot at Baybeats Festival, we managed to speak to the band about their music, the industry and songwriting amongst others.

Could you give us a brief introduction to the band for those who are unfamiliar with Suicide Solution?
