The band said: "We are firmly behind the Bench Self Made concept and it was a pleasure getting involved. We believe that with practice and dedication you can be the best and its great to see Bench picking up on this offering support to up and coming talents."

Confining their sound to one style is virtually impossible, with the band pulling in influences as different as Ray Charles and The La's, The Quangos have conjured up a truly unique blend of old and new, helping them to bridge the gap and attract fans from every generation. Their eclectic taste in music only adds flavour to all their own... You can hear the soul cutting through in the voice of lead singer Josh Goddard mixed with gritty Manchester twang... Truly original. @thequangos / facebook.com/thequangos
