Motley Crue singer Vince Neil will be featured as a special guest judge on the new TV show Banded: The Musician Competition.

How does the competition work?

Banded: The Musician Competition places 25 individual songwriters into teams — bands — who will then work with other songwriters and producers who are tasked with coaching each five-piece group. They'll each work to write original music and one winner will earn a record contract.

The five multi-genre bands will have an opportunity to work with some genuine stars of the industry, including Grammy-winners and nominees. Viewers can expect to see Wendy Starland, the Songwriters Hall of Fame honoree who discovered and developed the career of pop superstar Lady Gaga in addition to Paul Ebersold, Steve Diamond, Justin Wilson and Dave Pahanish.
