ProjectAURA the top 5 is placed in a band living in London for last in need of progress.

Drummer, Ollie Felton, said: “We're absolutely ecstatic to have reached the second round and also very overwhelmed at the amount of support we have received, not just off our friends, but from strangers who just happened to bump into our music and enjoyed it.

“We're all rather nervous now though because this is a massive opportunity for us, pretty much career changing, so we're looking at it in more hope than expectation.”

The band is made up of Jonathan Henstock, 21, Rick Keen, 22, Paul Roberts, 25 and Ollie Felton, 18.

ProjectAURA have been together for two years and a half and he writes all his songs. Their idols are different from The Beatles to Radiohead.

Mr Felton said: “I entered the competition on behalf of the band because I saw an advert for it on the internet and thought it was an ideal opportunity to gain a bigger and wider fan base, as it would allow more people from all over the world to have a listen to us and vote for us if they wished to.”

He concluded: “Even if we don't get through to the final, the amount of exposure we've received from the competition is huge.

“Also playing on the main stage at Europe's biggest music festival would be quite an honour and would be a huge step to getting us signed.”

Now open for voting period will be May 22.
