Chosen Artist :D

The artist I have chosen are called Ashes. They are from Southern California and are an Indie/Rock band. I chose this genre of music because it will appeal to my target audience. I discovered them on http://www.unsignedbandweb.com/ and felt that their upbeat style would allow me to create an entertaining video despite the song having a sad narrative.

They are also found on http://www.purevolume.com/ where they have 3 albums, where they have a total of 14 songs. The song I've chosen is from the album Fade. The track I have chosen is called Main Street, it has an upbeat tone despite having a sad narrative. They also have acoustic versions of some of their songs (including the track I've chosen). Once I've filmed and edited my shots for the video, I'll apply the acoustic track to see if it will have the same effect as the original version of the track.

They also took part in the Station 3:16 Summer Sound-Off in 2003 in a battle of the bands competition. Out of 27 other bands, Ashes took home first place along with $5000 from the competition.


As they are a boy band, I hope to film my friends band playing/rehearsing and take a photo of them for the CD cover.


I've sent an e-mail requesting to use their song but have not yet received a reply from them.
