The Next Big Thing
Is rock dead? We follow three hotly tipped rock bands, We Are The Ocean, Twin Atlantic and Lower Than Atlantis, to prove that rock in the UK is still alive and kicking.
Is rock dead? In the first week of 2011 there were only 3 guitar bands in the UK's top 75. And one of them was Journey's 'Don't Stop Believing'.
For some this was a sign that rock music was dead. For us it was a reason to find three of the hottest new rock bands around and find out what it's like for a group trying to make an impact on the scene today.
Presented by Daniel P Carter, this programme follows We Are The Ocean, Lower Than Atlantis & Twin Atlantic over six months.
From on-stage injuries and video shoot disasters to triumphant headline shows and eagerly-awaited album releases, this is an access-all-areas look at three bands who are proving that rock in the UK is as healthy as it's ever been.
