TWO poptastic teenage Taunton dance bands are making serious waves in the
highly competitive world of modern pop music, write MIKE PHILIPS.
Boy band More and girl group Innocenz are set to break into the big time
with their all-action dance routines and vibrant musical style.
Already top record companies are showing interest and the future looks bright
for the local youngsters.
More are verging on major recognition with their own fan club, web site, a newly
recorded album.
John and Alex from Taunton, Ben from Wellington and Gareth from Puriton have

Aiming at the teenage boy band market, the group is backed by Eurovision song writer

The Lads also write their own material, choreograph their own routines, play
instruments, and have performed in London's West End.

"They really are an outstanding talent," said manager Kevin Lock. "It's
not a case of if they make it but when. They already have
4,500 registered fans in the UK. They are going to be huge."
