Research into the industry


I am planning on using is an unsigned band from Saddleworth near Manchester. They are are a Indie-rock trio that went to school together. I have selected the band because first hearing to their songs I knew that I could have some ideas to make the music video. 

The band is called 'The 99s’ and there are three band members, Bass - James Loughlin also backing vocals, Drums and Percussion- Adam Quigley and lastly the Lead Singer - Johnny West also plays Guitar and Bass. Originally played local gigs and in 2009 had 3 consecutive gigs in London with positive industry praise and sold out venues. They released their first album in Spring 2010 from audience request.
They do not have a record company at the moment, but there could be numerous of record labels that could sign them. Some examples are:




I have chosen these two labels as they are associated with making independent bands have a small label, a well known Indie Rock band that uses XL Recordings is Vampire Weekend and they are successful now because of the backing of this label.
