A free concert by Death Cab For Cutie is one of the incentives in a competition to get US college students to register to vote before the 2008 presidential election.

The band, which supported Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama at the Democratic National Convention in Denver last month, will perform on the college campus that registers the most voters between now and November.

The Ultimate College Bowl is a voter registration competition sponsored by MySpace as well as non-partisan organisations Rock The Vote and Declare Yourself.

The colleges that register the greatest number of voters will also receive Guitar Hero 2 prizes and scholarship money. For more information, visit the Ultimate College Bowl MySpace page.

Meanwhile, Death Cab For Cutie are preparing to kick off tours of the US, UK and Europe this autumn, as previously reported.

Death Cab For Cutie will release the follow-up to their major label debut, Plans, this spring, and the group promises to surprise fans with a mix of "the most uptempo, upbeat Death Cab songs as well as some of our saddest." Bassist Nick Harmer spoke to Billboard, revealing some of the new song titles to include "Bixby Canyon Bridge," "The Ice Is Getting Thinner" and "I Will Possess Your Heart," a nine-minute song which Harmer describes as Death Cab "[hitting] our stride... we looked at the habitual things we've done in the past and tried to move beyond them."

Guitarist/producer Chris Walla adds that the as-yet-untitled record is "really weird. It's really, really good, I think, but it's totally a curve ball, and I think it's gonna be a really polarizing record. But I'm really excited about it. It's really got some teeth. The landscape of the thing is way, way more lunar than the urban meadow sort of thing that has been happening for the last couple of records."

He elaborates that the "curve ball" could surprise and challenge Death Cab's loyal fan base, telling Billboard that, "On [Plans] we were really making a lot of decisions based on what we felt other people were gonna think. But this record, there's this kind of slightly malicious glee that we all have that it sounds kind of crazy. It's pretty fun."

While the Death Cab record isn't expected until late May, Walla will release his solo debut, Field Manual, on January 29.
