The other finalists; strangefruit and Daybreakers were also commended and SlavetoSound would not be suprised to see them both also appear at next summers festivals.

 As winners of the competition, in addition to their chance to play at Glastonbury, they also get to spend valuable recording time at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios.

The annual RockStar competition is open to everyone, young old, groups and soloists, with the only stipulation being that any entrant must be unsigned.  The search for the 2010 winner is expected to start sometime in the New Year.
