Four unsigned bands compete for a major recording contract. The complete prize package included: $50,000 cash, $100,000 in musical equiptment from Guitar Center, a showcase in front of prominent music executives, a fully produced music video, and that video would be included in VH1's rotation. While the winner never became super-famous, the video did find some airtime on VH1 and was featured on the hit show Pop-Up Video.moreless
Bands on the Run really shows a lot of potential. Unfortunately, the dramatic opening which pulled in until the very end, simply fades out at the end. It's unfortunate but that's a big problem with many shows on tv today. Great start to pull everyone in but botches it up at the end.
