The Impressionists take home Coca Cola Blastbeat title

Taking place at the Opera House in their home town of Cork, the band, fronted by 17-year-old Cliff Masheti, were picked ahead of six others that made it through to the all-Ireland finals.
Coming in second were 13-year old metal-meisters Transgress from Loughrea, Co. Galway and third were Home Star Runner from Dublin.
The competition was held as part of a project which involved transition year students setting up mini music companies which supported local acts in the battle of the bands.
