With lockdown restrictions easing in Melbourne, let's celebrate by checking out some of the best news going around the world of music this week.

If you're sick of the standard meet-and-greet, signed album affair when it comes to a good old fashioned contest, then these bands have got just the thing for you. 

Dutch metal heavyweights Epica have gone the extra mile for fans and newcomers this week. Ahead of their livestream concert this Sunday, the band have created a specialised trivia for folks to test their knowledge. Based on the answers given, you'll be treated to a brand new, specially curated playlist that'll help you get acquainted with the group's music, or send you deep diving into some lesser known b-sides and rarities for all those hardcore metalheads. Check it out and get all the info on the livestream gig here.

As if that weren't enough, local indie quartet Bakers Eddy have got an amazing contest going right now. Fresh off the release of their new single Concertina, the band have announced that anyone who preorders their upcoming album, Love Boredom Bicycles, will go into the draw to win a very special prize indeed. The band will personally mix and pour margaritas for you and your mates for a whole hour. Check out all the info via their Facebook post here.
