Music

Moments before going live on BBC WM

It's GCSE season so the four young lads - all aged between 15 and 16 - took a break from revision to call into the BBC WM studios and promptly delivered a powerful live set.

BBC WM Introducing first played their track 'Waiting For You' several months ago and following the great listener response, promptly booked them in for a live session.

Their music is a unique blend of rock, new-wave and power-pop; their tracks catchy and uplifting. They've undergone several line-up changes since forming in July 2007 but seem poised to be a sleeper hit on the West Midlands music scene.

The lads are working on an EP and have a tour planned for 2008. You can read more about them by checking out their myspace at: www.myspace.com/ootamusic
