Task 6 ppt
- 1. Task 6 Research & Planning
- 2. Brief history of chosen genre & list of band names Indie, or independent, music is that which is produced outside of mainstream record labels like Columbia and RCA. As indie refers to how the artist produces their music, genres can range from pop to jazz to grunge. Indie bands and artists are often self-promoted, and gain attention by doing live shows and slowly gaining an initial fan base and reputation. They have to pay for their own studio time, record releases and promotion. Indie bands are more likely to be played on alternative radio stations, unless a large record company has given them a loan, in which case because the company get the royalties, the band get better promotion and air time. Alternative music is named so as it is music that doesn’t quite fit into a specific genre, instead it spans a few. It can occasionally be mistaken for another genre; but varied genre-crossing elements of the sound determine it as alternative. It is a wide spread genre, with artists ranging from ethereal Kate Bush to grunge-y girl band Babes In Toyland, to spoof rap punk band Mindless Self Indulgence. It began to form in around the mid 80s, where bands such as Radiohead and Nirvana incorporated elements of other genres into rock, creating a sound harder to pin down to one genre. Alternative music has made its way into mainstream, and differs from the early version. A lot of alt bands start out as indie bands, despite this.

- 3. Artists I could have on my cover & why For my music magazine’s front cover, I could use artists like Izzy Bee from Black Honey, Lana Del Rey or the band Wolf Alice, all of which are positive representations of women in the alt/indie music business. My target audience is women, and so this representation will have an impact on them. I’d like to have a picture of them on stage, rather than posing.
