Southend trio REDTRACK recently won the Hollyoaks Music Show competition and appeared on the Channel 4 soap on 16th February. The Hollyoaks Music Show is designed to find the best unsigned band for a future episode of the soap. Bands were invited to upload a track to the programme's website and from hundreds of entries the top nine were selected to perform on the series, screened since October, on E4. Each group was mentored by Hollyoaks stars and viewers voted for their favourite. The trio were mentored by Hollie-Jay Bowes, who plays Michaela McQueen in the show. The Essex band beat off stiff competition over 10 weeks. On winning, REDTRACK said: "We were up against some really good bands and we were all really evenly matched, so to win the unsigned act competition is fantastic! We've now become mates with a couple of the bands from the show and we met Chipmunk, so it's been a really good experience for us. Our mentor Hollie-Jay helped us a lot. She was really cool and supportive."
