Strong position

A band spokesperson told 4BR: "These signings put the band in a strong position for the upcoming contest season, and we've welcomed both talented individuals and great personalities.

We've had a difficult couple of years in relation to player turnover, but we're confident these new additions will bring stability. We're excited for the future and hopefully we can make some big impressions in the coming months."
