UK - Three acts have now been chosen to go through to the final of AKG's 2007 Unsigned Heroes competition, which is being held at Camden's Koko on 26 April. Against stiff competition, the winner for the Northern region was Liverpool's the Kashmirs, with their fast and furious Fall By The Way Side, while the Southern Region winner was Hitchin's Flamboyant Bella, with the piano-driven stomper Crazy Cool. Completing the trio are London's The Standards.Amanda Chester, marketing manager for Harman Pro UK, comments, "We've been really knocked out by the response to this competition. It just goes to show how vibrant the UK's new music scene is,"
