Song options

After searching for a great song to do a music video from a band that was new and undiscovered was very hard. The main place that we used to search for this music was Spotify. This allowed us to see the popularity of the band and the song and we were able to look through the older albums to find songs that would work with our ideas. The songs we narrowed it down to were:
New Blood- Zande Wolf
Dancing song- Little Comets
One night in October- Little Comets
Panic like Tom- Ricas
Still counting-Volbeat

Band names
04:03
Heres a list of the potential names for the band:
- The Loop Holes
- Cosmic Universe
- Theory of Hazard
- Without League
- Darlings of your Radio
- Psychic Amateurs
- The Kristal Kicks
- The Atmospheric Difference
- The Crystal Images
Out of these names we decided The Kristal Kicks would be the best name to represent the band. We found this process quite hard as it was difficult to form a band name that had to be dissimilar from any other band names. We had to check that the name hadn't already been used and it hasn't so we think it is a perfect name for our band we are forming.

The members of the band are always together in photos so that there is not a focus on just the lead singer. The photos of them tend to have a sense of symmetry and angles yet are simplistic. It is nice that the band feature audio recordings of what their latest album was influenced by on the website, this shows that their music has a lot of meaning.

Artist research- Raphael Lake and Ben Fisher
02:26Raphael and Ben Fisher are quite unknown Artists. Their music feature on Spotify and Soundcloud amongst other Similar artists. They don't have their own personal accounts that they post from. Their songs are posted within albums/ playlists or by other people. For example, on Soundcloud for example, an account has posted their music but it is neither of the members in the song.
To me, this gives the impression that they like to be anonymous and they are just about the music. They want to remain absent to the audience because all they want to do is share music that they have made with them. There even isn't any photos of them on the internet to promote themselves.
Both artists have their own personal Spotify accounts where you can see some of their other works. You can notice that many of the songs on there are collaborations between the two artists. On Raphael's page there are a mixtures of genres of music, this shows that he isn't constant with a main choice of genre. Ben Fisher on the other hand mainly has the same genre of music for his songs.
Their songs are also available on Apple music:

To look further into the music industry, I thought it would be a great idea to interview an artist. This was great because I was able to interview the man thats closest to me in my life, my dad! My dad is does frequent gigs and events either on his own or with an orchestra alongside his other job. I chose to interview him as he's been working in the performing industry for many years- working in Island records, performing in Musicals and now performing at private events and gigs. This is great because it meant I was able to speak to someone that has witness the changes that have happened due to the proliferation of hardware and content and other factors which could effect it.
