Last night we played the semi finals of a Worldwide battle of the bands of which 2 bands go through to the finals....We came 2nd and are now playing at the Birmingham Carling Academy!! We are through from some 400 bands to the final 12 - if we win this final we have pretty much got a record deal in our pocket as well as major endorsements, £100,000 and a european and US tour!!!
Its not sank in yet properly!

Wicked mate!
I remember voting for you - The thing is though, you gotta be careful not to sign yourself to A) be a sellout and B) too much initially - a certain deal may seem great now, but if you do make it - you might want more of a cut later on.

We have had many false leads so we've got sensible heads screwed on. Weve signed a few contracts over the last couple of years and are quite clued up about it now, we've got a good idea what to look out for and would always seek legal help before signing anything

He's the tea boy / Groupie  Just kidding 
At a guess he's the long haired guy in the pics section.
Just listened to the 4 tracks - not bad. It's been done before, but what hasn't. Some cool tracks though, I could just imagine the set ending on that 'This is not the end track' ...
Good luck matey, hope you make it. Think it's good when a group of mates who have formed a band make it big time, rather than a Record Company doing a talent search for a group of boys who fit their idea of a new band
