Ripchord, from Newport, not only had great fun shooting their video, but they've enjoyed great success since being crowned 2005's champions. Ripchord have recently been signed and look forward to spending some time in the recording studio. Wish of the Day's winning single Mistake Me is not only well produced on cd, but also manages to combine a powerful and raw sound with tight musicianship. The band, only formed in May 2005, are also enjoying their live performances and hope to gain more gig experience. The lads name the likes of Radiohead, Razorlight, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Joy Division as their main influences.

Mistake Me might have won the School of Rock competition, but Wish of the Day have an impressive collection of other self-penned songs... and they're certainly a name to look out for in the future. |
