25 Musicians compete in multiple genres by performing live to win a Record Contract. Audiences get a behind the scenes look on the process, work, and creativity behind breaking a band. BANDED is not about a specific genre, the executive producers sought out entertaining artists and producers to build the next successful bands. There are musicians of many backgrounds in the show. Once they were "BANDED" the contestants began to work together with their individual musical styles until a sound that the band gels with is developed organically.
