Virgin Soldiers

Virgin Soldiers combine contemporary acoustic rock with a fully fledged strings section to

 create a melodic sound that they describe as Strock.

2012 was an exciting year for the band in which they supported McFly and Keane as well as
 opening for the legendary Joan Armatrading at the King’s Theatre, Portsmouth. They also performed several times at NME's 'Best Small Venue in the UK', the Tunbridge Wells Forum, where they supported Steve Cradock, guitarist for Ocean Colour Scene/Paul Weller, Juan Zelada and Jack Savoretti. In July, the band played at BT London Live in Hyde Park as part of the Olympic celebrations.

The band released their debut single 'Moon Song' on August 20th 2012 and it entered the Independent Breakers Singles Chart at No. 19. This is a chart designed for the hundreds of thousands of bands who have never had a top 40 hit. 'Moon Song' also made it to No. 3 in the Amazon Rock Chart behind Coldplay and Ed Sheeran, and along with the song's Radio Edit, held both the 2nd and 3rd positions in the Amazon Hot New Rock Releases Chart.

In 2013 the band will be releasing the four #lovestrock singles starting with Sitar Song on May 19.  A video for each song will be released on Youtube.  They played the #lovestrock launch gig at the E M Forster Theatre in Tonbridge on April 27th.
