The Next Big Thing...

...is "The Next Big Thing," an "American Idol" type talent contest devised by the BBC that bring together bands from all over the world who write their own music and must 18 or under. The seven finalists tape performances soon and the show airs December 9 with the winner chosen by a panel of industry experts. You can check out their songs here. My two favorites are The Skagz and Stefan Abingdon.
