Formed last year the four-piece, made up of guitarist and lead vocalist Cam Mitchell, 16, bassist George Hudson, 16, Will Pickford, 15, on drums and guitarist Tom Hoare, 15, are hoping to take their music to a wider audience after impressing local crowds with original, guitar driven songs.

The band, who are currently saving up to buy new equipment, already have a firm fan base but have been working hard to build their reputation as one of the areas brightest talents.

Singer Cam said: "There are a lot of other good bands out there but we do work very hard and it is what we all would like to happen.

"We have had a lot of support from our families, fans and friends and would like to thank all of them."

Matt Pearson from Bakewell rockers Corkstone, who arranged a gig for the band, said: "I think they are the best up-and-coming band around here.

"I got them a gig at a private party because although they had started doing gigs with them being so young it is difficult to play in pubs. They went down really well."

Dynamite Victim play rocky punk tunes blended with blues and pop genres, influenced by Velvet Revolver, Green Day and The Clash, they were originally known as The Unstitched Puppets but changed their name last October.

They will be playing at charity event Manners Festival in Bakewell on Saturday, at The Grapes in Sheffield on August 1, Bakewell Arts Festival on August 10 and Youlgrave Music Festival on September 12 and are hoping to record new songs in the studio within the next couple of months.
