Two Bay of Plenty bands and a solo artist have been named in the top 30 in the 2014 Smokefree Rockquest (SFRQ).
Liquid Sun made up of students from Katikati College and Waihi College, Joe's Van from Mount Maunganui College and Georgia Lines, a solo artist, from Bethlehem College are
among the finalists.
700 entries were received nationwide, vying for one of the 30 spots in the national final in Auckland on September 27.
Those 30 bands and solo-duos would be further narrowed down by a panel of judges from the music industry, and the final six bands and three solo-duos to play off in Auckland next month would be announced on August 15.
