"They were going to love us "They" are a crowd of heavy metal fans about to be introduced to... a band playing a bunch of Disney covers.

You can understand why Punk Rock Factory singer Peej was worried. Fortunately, the crowd quickly started screaming to the sound of Let It Go, the Frozen anthem loved by children around the world.

So, How did a quartet from South Wales end up playing Disney tunes? and a theme music for a children's television at a rock festival?

Like many strange events of recent years, you can thank (or blame, depending on musical tastes) Covid. A TikTok video of the band playing a cover of Just Can't Wait To Be King from The Lion King went viral while everyone was cooped up indoors in 2020, and it snowballed.
