Band Profile

In order to construct an identity for our artist we have put together a Band Profile for a myspace and official website.

Formation:
Birmingham-based Something Else were put together in lead singer Danny's bedroom three years ago while the three friends were all still in school. Writing and playing songs about puberty and heartbreak earned them their first gig- at the pub round the corner! However, now signed to Island Records and with their debut album, Kiss Me, featuring the new single 'Sleepwalk Avenue', due for release, the pop rock trio are set to soar.

Band Members:
Danny - Lead vocals and guitar

Amy - Bass

















Lydia - Drums

Influences:
The band have cited their main influences as 90s pop punk bands blink-182 and Green Day, but also borrow the sound of the ever developing current pop rock scene including bands like Fall Out Boy and McFly.


We looked at other band websites in order to get an idea for what the band profile should include. The three key areas were a brief Bio, a Band Members section to introduce the artists, and an Influences section so the audience get an idea of the genre of music and fans of these artists would be attracted to the band.

We decided that in order to introduce the band to our teenage target audience, the 'formation' section of the profile would be brief, funny and most importantly give information about and promote their new album and single.

We decided to use individual images of the band members in order to establish more of a connection with the audience and help sell our artist. The setting of the images is natural, green and outside connoting a sense of freshness and freedom that will appeal to a young audience. The body language and facial expressions of the band members are fun and relaxed putting the audience at ease and able to relate to the visibly young and casually dressed members of the band.

Also, by using individual images for the band members the audience can become more involved with the band by choosing a favourite member.
