THE dawn is only starting to break on the careers of the young members of Toowoomba band Tinted Sun.
Their original songs have won them through to the next round of the Global Battle of the Bands competition after a taking out a Toowoomba heat on Thursday night.
Lead singer and songwriter Lara Hallaran said she was surprised when her band was announced the winner of the six entrants.
'We did not expect it all," Lara said.
"We were really pumped."
She and fellow members Callum Oliver, Joseph Morgan, Jamie Sutherland and Jack Boag are all aged between 14 and 16.
They met at a Toowoomba music lesson studio about five years ago.
"We've officially been playing around town for just over six months."
She said they enjoyed music with a punk and indie sound but were not solely dedicated to those genres.
"We like to experiment with different genres with every song we do really."
Their band is due to compete in the Brisbane round of the Global Battle of the Bands next Thursday.
They currently play a mix of original and cover songs at their gigs in Toowoomba pubs.
Lara said her hope was to keep playing original songs and keep enjoying their music.
"And hopefully go all around the world."
