A PUNK band have become a TikTok sensation after putting their own spin on Disney classics.

Cwmbran's Punk Rock Factory have gained more than five million likes on TikTok after covering their own versions of Disney hits, including Just Can't Wait to be King, which had one million views.

The band was formed in 2014 for a bit of fun on YouTube, then two years before covid hit the foursome reunited in 2018.

As the global lockdown struck in 2020, the band asked fans what they wanted to hear - and Disney covers was the overwhelming answer.

After releasing a short version of Just Can’t Wait to be King from The Lion King, fans demanded more.

Peter Edwards, known as Peej and lead singer of the band, said: “We kind of jumped on the TikTok trend when we were in lockdown as it was on the rise then.

“We released an album in 2019, and we started putting some tracks from that album on TikTok because everyone was home.

“We uploaded a short version of Just Can't Wait to Be King from The Lion King and it got like a million views in 24 hours and it kick started from there.

“At the time we didn't have many followers on there and then all of a sudden that was on everyone’s for you page. It's kind of gone mad.”

Their first album, a Whole new Wurst, was made and recorded in a purpose-built studio in the bands drummer’s garden in Cwmbran.
