BW&BK; has received the following press release:

The nationally syndicated FM/Net radio broadcast Rock Solid Pressure featuring the dynamic duo of the airwaves J-Rock and Patty The Radio Girl are currently gearing up once again for their annual industry Showcase on Saturday, September 13th 2008. For those of you that remember the spectacle from last year, the team promises a bigger extravaganza for this year's event. There will also be a VIP industry Pre-Party on Friday Sept 12th. The high profile DJ team will unleash the 20 best unsigned bands in America for an all day concert event for the music industry. The Showcase will return to Bourbon Street in New Port Richey, Florida.

The Showcase is always heralded by the media as being more attentive than SXSW, NAMM, and other events of this magnitude. The difference is there is no 'pay to play' label placement or filler bands who 'know the right connections'. It's all about the music and serious networking. The labels and industry insiders know they have a job to do on the panel. That's to critique, and possibly sign 20 of the best 'hand picked' bands from around the country. The Showcase has since become one of the most talked about events in North America. This will be their 7th successful year.

Just like last year, a professional film crew will be shooting the event for a 2008 documentary on the music industry. This film will also make the rounds throughout the entire entertainment industry.

Here is the official line-up for the Rock Solid Pressure Industry Showcase 2008:
