"I started this label to develop and maintain the integrity of our music," said Chad Gray of Bullygoat Records. "We're only looking to develop new, different and interesting music. So the decision is yours. For those of you who feel like your ready to take the Bullygoat challenge, I look forward to hearing your art."

To be eligible to win a recording contract with Bullygoat Records, a band must have a minimum of 500 mob members. A special leaderboard has been set up on Mozes.com to track each band's growth in membership. The contest will run for three (3) months, giving bands a chance to build their mobile fan list.

"This is a great opportunity for unsigned bands to get their foot in the door of the music industry. "There are a lot of kick ass bands out there that now have the chance to be heard," said. Mistress Juliya.

"Some bands have the sound, but lack in the marketing department," adds Sanaz. "Mozes and Bullygoat Records are giving them the chance to work with BuddyLube -- a company that has marketed some of the best heavy metal bands in the world."
