Earlier this year we excitedly announced that Bank Of Melbourne had launched Melbourne Music Bank, an initiative to uncover the Melbourne’s best song-writers with a reward of $15,000, all one had to do was pen an original track about our fair city, Melbourne.

To get the creative juices flowing, we provided a little list of inspiration that contained our favourite tunes that were influenced by ‘The Live Music Capital of Australia’, which evidently had a great effect, with Melbourne Music Bank unveiling the 13 incredible finalists.

The shortlist contains a cocktail of genres to impress any music fan, from forward-thinking art-pop to urban hip-hop to earthy bluegrass and a strong list of hearty folk entrances.

You’ve heard enough from us, jump over to Melbourne Music Bank’s website and place your vote for what you believe is the best Melbourne track of the year – but be quick, there’s only two days left before polling closes.
