After looking around on unsigned.com for a substantial amount of time, we decided as a group upon an artist and a song that we were happy to use for our music promo. Before looking at this website, we knew as a group that we wanted to have a song from the rock genre. The main reason for this is that we used a rock song for our preliminary task and thought it would be easier to use the same conventions and shot types. This made it easier to narrow our search for a good song to use.
We then found a song that we thought was perfect to use for our style of video. We looked at a band called the 'Silent Sundays' and listened to several of their song that are available on unsigned.com. Our favourite of the several songs was called 'midnight wanderer'. We liked this song as it followed the generic structure of a rock song and had lyrics that could be easily translated into a narrative.
About the band
To gain a much research as we could before creating our music promo, we looked into the band and found out as much research as we could. We read the information that was available on unsigned.com and looked at the bands 'MySpace' page. We found several things out about the band
- The band was formed in 2006 in Sheffield.
- The band consists of 4 members. A singer/ guitarist, guitarist, bass and drums. This is a typical layout for a rock band.
- The band originate from Sheffield and got together whilst studying at school.
- They perform a mixture of covers and original music. They write their songs themselves.
- They have released an EP album with several original songs.
- They have been working for the past year on a full album of songs that will be released in the next few months.
The main reason we chose this band to use in our promo was for their bands genre and their style of music. This band has a strong link to the Rock genre and follows the typical conventions of Rock and Roll music. This will make it easy for us to create a music promo that will fit with our chosen genre
