SOUTHAMPTON is set to have another band hit the big time.
Rising local stars SixNationState have been signed by record label Jeepster.
It's unusual for Jeepster to sign a new act unless they're something really special, as is proved by their last two signings - Belle & Sebastian and Snow Patrol.
They are set to release their second single in March, Where Are You Now?, and tomorrow they embark on a major UK tour.
The tour takes in 31 venues including the University of Southampton on February 12, Mr Kyp's in Poole on February 21, the Registry in Portsmouth on February 22 and winds up at The Joiners in Southampton on April 6.
The band has a reputation for being a fantastic raucous live act with great tunes.
