Wolverhampton Civic Hall’s eagerly-anticipated Battle of the Bands is well underway and has so far showcased a multitude of up-and-coming talent. Check out our gallery of the recent Heat winners.

Lookout Joe are a new piano-led trio from Coventry, who describe themselves as “jumping straight out of university into the ears of anyone willing to listen!” Members Ed, Ben and Drew are all 23 and classically trained. Their music fuses piano-led pop and rock influenced by everyone from Coldplay and The Specials to David Bowie and The Beatles, as well as inspiration from Ed’s travels to South America.
