Powerball has joined forces with BRING and Spotify to find Australia’s biggest fan-voted powerballad track, partnering with punk/rock band DZ Deathrays to transform the track in their own unique way.

Powerballad is designed to stimulate conversation around dance-floor fillers and pub anthems, with a tongue-in-cheek campaign led by DZ Deathrays.

They’ll lead the search for Australia’s fave Powerballad, play it by their own rules, then pick a winner to join them in the official music video and at a special event where the song will be performed live to fans for the first time.

Said DZ Deathrays: “We’re pumped to see what song Australia picks and are armed with our rock guitars to shred it into a new century… now if we could just get out of this Powerballad world to start practicing.”

Watch campaign launch here.

James Griffiths, ECD at Universal Music Australia’s BRING said: “With Powerballad, we really wanted to tap into the cultural conversation already happening around iconic songs whilst delivering on the brand’s ‘Play By Your Own Rules’ ethos. Through our internally developed tools, we were able to align the brand with artists that will truly resonate with their target demographic. The exciting thing now is watching the story unfold and bringing fans along for the journey. Where’s my air guitar?”

The campaign unfolds through a partnership with Spotify, where fans will be driven to a Powerballad microsite and vote for their favourite tracks by adding to Australia’s Ultimate Powerballad Playlist on Spotify. Over time, the playlist will be filled with more bangers than a sausage sizzle.

Jen Lyons, Senior Marketing Manager, Powerball, said: “Since the Powerball game launched it has been synonymous with independence, freedom and self-expression.

“We get to really stretch our wings with Powerball and the way that we’re able to bring our brand essence – ‘Play By Your Own Rules’ – to life. We know that a passion point for our growth audience is music and partnering with BRING, Spotify and DZ Deathrays has given us a chance to speak to this audience in a new, authentic and exciting way. We’re really excited to see what songs are nominated and how DZ Deathrays re-imagine the chosen song!”
