We’re stoked to share that we placed 2nd in the Auckland Central Smokefree Rockquest Final, earning one of the two spots advancing to the next stage of the competition.

Congratulations to Crying Ivy, who took out first place on the night.

We’re also incredibly proud to have won the Best Song Award. As a band that loves writing and performing original music, having our songwriting recognised means a lot to us.

The Auckland Central final was packed with talented musicians, and it was awesome to be alongside so many great bands. The standard was incredibly high, which makes this result even more special for us.

What happens next?

Rockquest heats are being held all around New Zealand, which will produce 44 regional finalists all of which need to submit three original songs as a video submission. From those 44 acts, the judges will select the top 12 bands in the country to go through to the next round of judging.

Making it this far has already been an amazing experience, and we’re grateful to everyone who’s supported us along the way. Whether you’ve come to a gig, listened to our music, followed us on social media, or cheered us on at Rockquest, thank you.

Now we wait to hear whether we’ve made the national top 12.

Fingers crossed.
