Winners of the Cannonball 8000 competition on XFM.

Here's the official biog:

Formed out of a mutual passion for music, Paolo, Steve and Tim are The Morenas, an eclectic, groove-orientated collective. The music, inspired by Paolo’s travels through Europe and beyond, producing a high octane, adrenalin fuelled mix of melody, rhythm and groove soulfully tainted by the melancholy.

Their first meeting came from Paolo’s search to find like-minded musicians to complete his dream. Firstly, with Steve at a Francis Dunnery concert and then Tim at a local studio where the three of them rehearsed unaware of the imminent connection.

After a year of dedicated rehearsals and unrelenting touring the band, together with a group of local entrepreneurs created the label Bleach Records as a vehicle to aid The Morenas in their journey towards success. Never a band intent on standing still, they write music that makes you get up and move. Not just because of the intrinsic rhythm or the addictive bass lines. Not even for the stage presence or soaring voice of front man Paolo. Merely, The Morenas are a great British rock band producing music that they; like many others, want to hear.
