An indie band made up of four teenage girls from Lincoln will make their debut on national radio tomorrow night.

Three Stars From Mars have been selected as the featured house band on Radio 1's popular teen-orientated show Switch.

The band features Bessie Norman, 14, on guitar and vocals, Martha Gibson, 14, also on guitar and vocals, Evie Manders, 14, on bass and cello and Imogen Kupper, 15, on drums and percussion.

The girls attend Lincoln Christ's Hospital School.

Bessie Norman said the girls were contacted by the radio show only an hour after applying to be the house band.

"I listen to Switch every now and then, and heard they had a house band every week," she said.

"I went online and filled in a form to put us forward, just to give it a go. An hour later I got a phone call from Radio 1, who wanted to arrange the details.

"They're going to play our song on the radio and then have a chat with us, so it's quite big."

Drummer Imogen Kupper explained that the exposure on Switch was incredibly important for the future of the band.

"It's great, because we really want to broaden out fan base and get more people listening to us outside of Lincoln," she said.

Hosted by Annie Mac and Nick Grimshaw, Radio 1's Switch programme features all the latest news, gossip and music. The show airs every Sunday from 7pm to 10pm. Three Stars From Mars will be on air between 8pm and 9pm.
