Rock Idols was started by a couple of students at Imperial College London back in 2003. Rock Idols was a way of helping bring together student bands from different universities, help them promote themselves, and show the public what student artists have to offer.
We're always looking for students to help us take Rock Idols, and real musical talent across the UK, so if you're interested in helping Rock Idols, click here.
