The search was eventually narrowed down to the six bands that celebrity judges, including Roy Wood and Janice Long, selected.

Ripchord won this vote and gained the prize of funding for more demos and filming a music video.

[citation needed] It was at roughly the same time that one of Ripchord's demos was put on a CD featuring unsigned bands that was given to James Endeacott, the man responsible for signing The Libertines.

The first single, "Lock Up Your Daughters (And Throw Away The Key)" was a limited edition vinyl with only 1,000 copies made.

The video for this single featured a much stronger plot line to its predecessor and was filmed in Ripchord's hometown of Wolverhampton.
