The winner of the Regional Final gets to play at LONDON’S O2 ARENA later this year! This would be such an amazing experience for us as a band as there are MASSIVE festival and industry opportunities for the winning band! As Alex Baker from Kerrang Radio unsigned show says "The Surface Festival gives bands a genuine opportunity to get their music in front of people in the industry that can help further their careers. The best bands WILL inevitably rise to the top . . . The prizes offered for the winning band and runners up are just fantastic and the experience all the bands gain from playing larger venues is priceless."

DO IT TIL WE DROP

One of the tracks going down VERY WELL on our Tour is DO IT TIL WE DROP which as you know was originally a track performed by a fellow Scottish Rocker – Frankie Miller – remember Darlin and Caledonia – well it’s the same guy - we are in good company as he’s been covered by UFO, The Quireboys and Rod Stewart to name but a few - check him out on - http://www.frankiemiller.net/

Do It Til We Drop is a powerful and heavy song and it really sits great with the rest of the album tracks. Because of its popularity at live gigs we’ve done a LIVEVIDEO RECORDING above for those of you who haven’t heard and seen it live yet!

Paul has really made the track his own, giving it a real “Estrella” feel with some of his signature screams! But not to be outdone – watch out for @luke_estrella and his stunning STAND OUT rock guitar solo!

Why not follow the other guys on twitter too @PaulG_Estrella, @Nathan_Estrella and @LJ_Estrella
