The Entrance Band will be joined by New York's Lights and Orphan, both excellent additions to the lineup. The contest deadline is 3pm Friday, January 29, at which time we'll contact the winner. This one's going to be fun for sure, so enter now!

The group released their self-titled album on Thurston Moore's Ecstatic Peace label back in August. Here's what Thurston has to say about them: "The Entrance Band's new music is the most alluring and, yes, entrancing vibe I've yet to experience in this new age. A soundtrack for the new groove."

Below, watch a video of The Entrance Band's "Lookout!"
