API has partnered with Sonicbids to offer a unique opportunity to bands and poster makers alike. Get Posterized will help three lucky bands get tour posters designed by three API members. Bands submitting their press kits to Sonicbids will be reviewed by Guy Burwell, Thomas Scott and John Foster. Each artist will pick one band to design a limited edition silk screen for that will be printed by Diesel Fuel Prints.
