Default Eton Road frustrated by lack of progress

Quote:
X Factor's Eton Road have expressed their frustration about the lack of progress they have made since being eliminated from the show.

The group's mentor Louis Walsh promised to get the Liverpool lads a recording contract and turn them into "the next big boyband" after they were voted off, but 17-year-old Anthony Hannah was overheard worrying about their future at an Italian restaurant this week.

"He was complaining that on national television his band had been promised the earth - a record deal and management - but to date nothing had transpired," a source told The People. "He was moaning about how all they seemed to be doing was night club PAs and corporate gigs."

Well unfortunately they are only good enough to do night club PAs and corporate gigs.

They are that sort of band. The investment in making them something better isn't worth the risk involved.

It's a tough old world in terms of the music industry, they were pretty good but they were always only going to be good enough for clubs and maybe small gigs in their local area.

X-Factor isn't a ticket to fame and fortune for most acts that appear on it. Just look at previous years.

Louis shouldn't make a promise he can't keep.

I didn't think they would go good in the industry anyway.
