Jim Gellatly, XFM presenter and Hard Rock Rising judge said: “I was impressed with the overall standard of bands throughout the competition, but the final was at a different level. It was always going to be a hard choice for the judges, but hopefully Break The Buterfly’s passionate rock with a Scots tinge can take them further in Hard Rock Rising. I think they’d be amazing on the Main Stage at the Hard Rock Rising festival in Barcelona, especially when Cameron whips out his pipes!”
