The Band
Like most of the bands we have researched we will have a four man band. The band will consist of Robbie on drums, Cameron on Bass, Andrew on Drums and myself as lead singer.

Drums
We borrowed the drums from the music section of our college,
we chose Andrew to play them as he is an experienced drummer so he would look the most convincing when we filming the video. Andrew fits into the band as he has a Liam Gallagher styled hair cut giving him the generic look of someone who is in an indie band.








Lead Guitar and Bass Guitar
Both Cameron and Robbie can play both guitars, however Robbie has played in a band and picked up the song quicker so we decided to go with him as lead guitarist. Cameron is not quite as skilled as Robbie so we decided to go with him on the bass instead. Robbie owned both guitars so these were quite easy to acquire. Both have the look of standard working class young men which is the audience that we are aiming our band at so they will find it relatable.




Lead Singer
I would be taking on the role of lead singer as we chose to lip
sink the song and I had some experience of this when taking
part in a previous media task. I also already knew the words
to song a lot more than the rest of the group.  We were able to
borrow the microphone and stand from the music department
so there was no trouble there.








Overall this gives the band a stereotypical look for its genre, taking inspiration from when Oasis and The Arctic Monkeys first broke onto the popular scene our band looks like a group of everyday 'lads' that could be from anywhere. This makes the group easy to relate to for the target audience of young males aged 18-30.
