Artist Chosen

We decided to chose Vinyl Junkies as our artist as we liked a song called Dear Diary which we have some ideas for. We asked permission from the band and they said yes. This is evidence that we asked their permission and they allowed us to use their song.

As we know the band personally we felt we did not need to ask formally so we decided to ask permission via facebook message. Originally we thought we were going to be in a group of three, with Samuel Lai too but we later decided to stay in a group of two, Jasmine Bual and I.

Vinyl Junkies are an indie style band consisting of four members. One member has recently been replaced due to leaving for university. The members are all 18-19 year old males. As myself and Jasmine have both seen them perform live, we felt that we could connect more with this band as we know them and their music well. All their songs are written by themselves which is a  typical thing for an indie band to do but it shows the audience their raw talent. This makes their lyrics seem more "real" and the audience may find it easier to relate. The fact that our artist are of a similar age group and are a very down to earth, exciting group of people, swayed our decision towards choosing them as our artist. Their voices are very unique and sound amazing together. As Vinyl Junkies have already built up a wide fan base in their local area, and now in different areas due to them touring at the moment, this is very positive for us when releasing and promoting their music video.
