Listen closely, Shockya readers, because we have some exciting Jane’s Addiction news that you don’t want to miss. The legendary rock group has teamed up with Indaba Music to create a remix contest around their latest single, “Irresistible Force”. The track is off of their upcoming album, “The Great Escape Artist”, which will drop on September 27th. More than two handfuls of the Jane’s Addiction tunes that we came across lure us right in with their complex and spiraling arrangements and there is no difference with the melody of “Irresistible Force”. The title undeniably does the song justice. We can go on and on about the reasons why we love this single, but we must get to other important news.

Indaba Music’s worldwide network of musicians will have the opportunity to remix “Irresistible Force” by downloading the track’s audio stems and uploading their unique remix submissions to the Jane’s Addiction contest page. Fans will be able to vote on their favorite submission through the contest page and through the official Jane’s Addiction Facebook page.

It’s time for a drum roll. One grand prize winner will get $1,000.00 and their remix will be digitally released by EMI Music. 10 Honorable Mentions will win a signed copy of The Great Escape Artist and a signed poster of the band. For more contest information, head over to this site.

Wouldn’t it just be awesome if a ShockYa reader was able to win this contest? Go on and enter the Jane’s Addiction competition and make us proud!
