| "This is an amazing and real opportunity for bands to get noticed and signed, but even if they don’t, this experience is one which even established bands, today, don’t get the opportunity to experience. I am astounded by the quality of the bands and the organization" |

| "I have been in a couple competitions and I think it’s a great way of finding out what this music business is about. The format and professionalism of this event gives the bands a real view of the rock business. Because, on a bigger scale I’ll admit, but the similarities are a great many." |

| "We have hosted the Emergenza Unsigned event for the last 3 years, and over those three years the Emergenza final is an eagerly awaited event. The organisation, promotion, and PR, is comparable to that of the entire international artist who perform here. The musical prizes, placements in festivals, the endorsements and performing to 2000 people - It is hard to find anything bad about the event" |

| "The level of young talent at this final was astounding and the standard and level of musicianship was very high indeed. SABIAN are certainly very proud to be involved with Emergenza - having events like this is what drives both the music industry and musical instrument industry - it truly is inspiring!!!"" |

| "This event is the best I have witnessed so far. There were a multitude of backgrounds and ages yet all of them talented, committed, technically masterful and full of drive... The display of genres was immense. Everything from drum 'n' bass and 70s/80s metal, to current revival movements such as electro rock and pure Indie... the future of new music has frankly never looked better." |

| "Roastinghouse Productions AB are proud to be a part of Emergenza as a main sponsor. This is one of the greatest events for unsigned and upcoming bands to take part of. Emergenza doesn’t only provide live concerts, they provide a “how it works and what it takes” with their initiative and know how with this festival. I’m confident that the winning band will be a band that is ready for the big market and I’m looking forward to work with them on their album. Emergenza is also a perfect forum for independent companies and A&R’s to be able to check out so many bands at one place, says “MD/Producer” Anders “Theo” Theander at Roastinghouse." |

| "I loved your article "Time to Rock in Tampa" and would like to thank you for your coverage of the band "BUYUSUK" and the great pic that heads up the article. My son is the drummer for the band and I am (of course) one of their biggest fans. I was there for the show and enjoyed the performances of all the bands. You sure put together a heck of a show Emergenza ! It can only get better from here. We are looking forward to the next show at the Masquarade on June 11th and hope to take the stage with even more intensity than the last show. Hope that you will be there with more pics and positive coverage. After all, positive is what BUYUSUK stands for and what we hope to promote. Thank you again for the excellent article. Your interest and commentary is greatly appreciated. Your support is invaluable ! Rock on !" |

| "This is far from a one dimensional event where you play many heats at the same venue, in the same town, run by in house promoters where at the end you get 1/2 a day in the studio. Emergenza is an industry-recognized name under which the all the major music manufacturer, media companies operate, to closely view new potential bands. No cash sponsorships are accepted as this may influence the event and take away the raw essence of it, which is to get bands to play their original music without conforming to a more ‘pop’ular format. Evidence of this is the Emergenza 2004 investment into improving the event such as creating more opportunities for bands to get noticed. Some of these include the Best Tour which covers 14 European and US cities, the collaboration with Sound Control, UK’s no 1 music retailer and Virgin Megastore. The ice-tip of a constant, ever evolving promotional drive. To confirm your entry to the event a registration is required by each band. Not bad, considering what you get for it. In addition to this the first 260 bands receiving Ernie Ball strings for bass and guitars, sticks and skins for drummers, your registration fee can be recovered trough the first heat by an extremely generous ticket system where the bands share in the ticket sales for each event. If none of this persuaded me, then the 26 bands signed over the past 2 years and the supporting tour of one of the Emergenza’s band Zen, in particular, with the Red Hot Chilli Peppers not only convinced me of the events benefit to bands but more so of the real success possible through the event. It beats 1/2 a day in the studio!" |

| "Uns war es schon immer wichtig, die Berliner Musikszene zu unterstützen, und wir sind der Meinung, dass das Festival den Bands eine gute Plattform bietet, sich zu präsentieren. Und den besten bietet es einen Einstieg ins Musikgeschäft, der für Newcomerbands ja generell schwierig ist." |

| "Abbiamo tanti clienti giovani ma li curiamo poco. Intendo invertire questo stato di cose e la collaborazione con Emergenza nasce per questo: non dobbiamo fermarci alla vendita dello strumento. Senza nulla togliere ai nostri clienti da trent’anni, i giovani sono i nostri clienti di domani. Mi piacerebbe fare di Musicarte il punto di incontro tra esperienze musicali, ricavare uno spazio da far condividere ai musicisti." |

| "... im Vordergrund stand das Konzept, in diesem Rahmen gab es in Deutschland nichts Vergleichbares. Bands auf diese Art und Weise zu fördern, ihnen eine Auftrittsmöglichkeit zu geben, Erfahrungen auf einer Bühne zu sammeln, die sie sonst wahrscheinlich nicht erlebt hätten. Alle anderen Nachwuchswettbewerbe kommen und gehen, so aber nicht das Emergenza-Festival, ein schlüssiges und erfolgreiches Konzept, hinter dem wir voll und ganz stehen.
Das Positive und Interessante daran ist, dass man jungen Bands ein kurzfristiges Ziel setzt. Die Bands haben Spaß und gleichzeitig eine Motivation weiter an sich und ihrer Musik zu feilen. Natürlich gibt es auch immer wieder Kritik, wegen der Startgebühr und des Kartenvorverkaufs, da es für Deutschland ungewöhnlich ist. Jedoch muss man sehen, was man dafür bekommt. Und was alles passieren kann, sieht man ja an den Emil Bulls, ...
