Who Needs Gene?

. (PR) The Upraw, the all-girl band created in the wake of Gene Simmons' Channel 4 reality show 'Rock School', are set to release their first single on Broeknrule Records[sic]. The single, "Make My Way", is released on 1st August available on all major download platforms, including iTunes and Napstar. The first of three singles for the band, they also have an album of original material to follow and a tour of the UK next month.

When Kiss's Gene Simmons headed a documentary to put together a rock band comprising of students from Kirkley High School in Lowestoft, he unlocked a wealth of musical talent. Following the success of previous Kirkley students The Darkness, auditions for a place in the band was a heated and competitive process. Though the selected five, Hoax UK, landed the prize of supporting Judas Priest and Anthrax in LA, two members - guitarist Samanie Warren and bassist Linde Rose - broke away to team up again with three other musicians who had been in the running. The Upraw was born. [see full story to listen to the song] - Click here for the Full Story
