The search is on! LiftMaster, the leader in Garage Door Openers, is searching for the best unsigned band in North America to get them out of the garage and onto the stage.

The garage is where the harsh dissonance pouring from a used guitar is transformed into sweet melodies. Where self-conscious vocalists strut and pose for imaginary crowds. Where drummers find enough solace to bang away until the wee hours just so they'll never miss a beat. At least until the neighbors complain. Whether you call it hard country, rhythm 'n blues, rap, hip-hop, or rock 'n' roll, there's one certainty; it started in a garage.
