Dirty Epics and R.S.A.G. were the first two bands to stay in Grouse Lodge for the Sony Ericsson Raw Sessions.

They had three days to work with producers Leo Pearson and Ken McHugh to make the song that could make them the Sony Ericsson Artist of the Year.

The bands overcame the distractions of the chickens and the swimming pool to create two stellar tracks: 'Movement' by R.S.A.G. and 'White Out' by Dirty Epics, which are available to download by text on www.therawsessions.ie

Your text votes will determine the three highest rated songs from the semi final rounds.

Next week will see how Infomatics and Majella Murphy get on in the luxurious recording studios.

The three artists with the most votes will perform live June 26 at The Button Factory final and after party. Only one can become Sony Ericsson Raw Sessions Artist of the Year.
