“It is a dream come true,” said the lead singer Paco Holguin, excited about playing in London.
He said that this opportunity will allow them to make connections with bands for future works, and that they have already more than one offer to work in the next music production of the band.
The band began this long process a few months ago, when they signed up for the contest without big expectations.
The music of Peruvian rock band Emergency Blanket is charged of life and energy. With influences from rock classics from the 60's, 70's and 90's, "the Blankets" achieved a very classical but yet very fresh and original sound.
