After The X Factor
After The X Factor, Eton Road performed at over 300 gigs and had a very big fan base. In August 2007 Anthony Hannah left the band and was replaced with 19-year-old Marcus Collins.
In September 2007, Eton Road's official website and MySpace site were launched. Their debut single, "Wishing", received its first airplay on 4 October 2007 on a local Liverpool late night radio show, though they had not yet signed to a record label. The single, "Wishing", was released in January 2008 and reached #5 on the IndieStore.com charts.
In January 2008 they were signed by Malcom Feld. In February 2008, they appeared in the charity album Liverpool – The Number Ones Album with a cover of The Beatles "From Me to You". The lead singer Anthony Hannah (who had left by the time) contributed a cover of Frankie Goes to Hollywood classic "Relax".
In March 2008, Marcus Collins decided to leave the band to continue a solo career. Eton Road continued for a few months more as a trio. They released a new CD single in September 2008 entitled "Someone To Love" with proceeds of the limited release going for ECHO's Liverpool Unites campaign and to Rhys Jones Memorial Fund, an 11-year old boy murdered in Liverpool. Eton Road also performed during the "Concert For Rhys"
The band called it quits at the end of 2008.
