Ram Truck has long been a supporter of the country music scene, from large to small musicians. You can see the brand’s community involvement in its partnership with the Zac Brown Band and its very own country channel on Yahoo, Ram Country. With its love for country music, Ram Trucks is holding the first ever Ram Battle of the Bands. Ram is seeking out the next upcoming country band to help jump start their journey to stardom. Country bands are encouraged to submit their band video on the Ram Truck Facebook page for a chance to perform live.

Videos will be watched by country music fans and the top 10 videos with the most votes will move on to our Ram Truck panel of judges. The judges will pick the top two videos; those bands will perform live at the 2011 Rodeo Austin, where more than 25,000 fans will cheer them on. First place winner will take home a $5,000, with second place taking home a cool $2,500.

Voting officially began on Jan. 3, 2011 and just for voting for your favorite band you are entered for a chance to win a country music prize pack, including an iPod and an iTunes gift card to add music to your library, along with some cool Ram Truck gear.
