Endorsements aren’t just for the established band or mainstream media. Taco Bell has a program called Feed the Beat which is mutually beneficial to both the chain and a group of 100 bands which it handpicks each year. Each band gets a $500 gift card to help with on the road expenses. Fans will hopefully want to eat from Taco Bell more because of this, and artists will gain some additional notoriety. Hence, we believe Feed the Beat is a good indicator of trending artists. These artists, featured on I AM TUNED UP, have made the cut:
- Daytrader (review coming to Mezzic as of this posting)
- Dry the River
- The Lumineers (reviewed on our friend-site, Mezzic)
- Sainthood Reps
- twenty | one | pilots
