YOUNG Rossendale pop rockers Cola Moon are celebrating after achieving celebrity status -- on the worldwide web.

The Ramsbottom five-piece loaded one of their tracks on to well-respected website www.garageband.com before Christmas to get some reaction to their work.

And before they knew it they found themselves the toast of the information superhighway, being picked by surfers who voted theirs one of the top five tracks on the site.

Some 16,000 music hopefuls upload their artistic efforts onto the website, which is the most popular of its kind in the world.

A spokesman for the five-piece said: "They just put the song up there to see what people thought of it.

"The music is raw and people listening to it can say what they think.

"To say they were shocked to hear how well they had done is an understatement."
