Profile: Named by Channel Four as “one of the most relentlessly energetic guitar bands of the moment”, Educated Animals had their song Timebomb featured on the opening soundtrack of top teen soap Hollyoaks on June 23.

Now the single is coming out on iTunes and Napster on Monday, and hopefully bringing the four-piece of Jon Purchase (guitar and vocals), Pepe Le Moko (bass), Adam Purchase (drums) and Lloyd Peacock (guitar, synth and vocals) to a wider audience.
