Band choices
Here is a list of possible bands that we would like to cover, all these bands belong to the indie rock genre of music.

The Stone Roses
The Stone Roses are an English rock band formed in the 'Madchester' movement during the 1980's. Originally founded by Ian Brown and John Squire the bands debut album 'The Stone Roses' was a breakthrough hit and received critical acclaim. However following a lengthy legal battle their second album 'Second Coming' was not recieved well and the band disbanded in 1996. If we were to choose a song by the Roses it would be a track from the first album.

Oasis
Another English band formed in Manchester, Oasis took the baton from the Stone Roses and became one of the most successful bands of the 90's. Brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher's rebel image and antics kept them in the headlines and added to the success of the band. Liam was known for his iconic sunglasses and parka' jackets a very noticeable image for the band. The first album 'Definitely Maybe' was revolutionary and we would probably choose one of these tracks if we were to pick Oasis. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJEvF7dPMNM

Arctic Monkeys
Formed in Sheffield the Arctic Monkeys lead by lead singer and guitarist Alex Turner took Britain by storm with their debut album which became the fastest selling British debut in music history. One of the first bands to come to the public attentions through the internet the Arctic Monkeys have changed their style and rebranded themselves throughout the 2000's and their latest album 'AM' is went straight into No.1 in the charts.

Beady Eye
 Founded in 2009 after the disbanding of Oasis, lead singer Liam Gallagher formed his own band with the remaing members and ex Kasabian guitarist Jay Mehler. Although missing Oasis's chief songwriter Noel Gallagher, the first two albums released by the band have received great praise from critics and Oasis fans alike. I personally think that the second album 'BE' is much stronger than the first so I would prefer to choose a track from there instead of 'Different gear still speeding'

Kasabian
Unlike the previous bands Kasabian is more straight up rock rather than the sub genre of indie like the rest of the groups. The band has been discribed as a mix between the 'Stone Roses and Primal Scream, with the swagger of Oasis.' Kasabian's self named debut album was received quite well by critics and fans a like. They carried on their success with later albums and really took off with the release of Velociraptor in 2011.
