Contacting the band

Here is a print screen of me contacting the band. I managed to get the email address through my Brother due to the fact he is really good friends with Joel from the band. I hope to hear from the band sharp-ish and here his feedback on my project and would like to see what he has to say.

Moodboard



This is my moodboard. As you can see  there is a various selection of bands and artists on this moodboard in which I listen to these artists everyday on my ipod. I do not listen to one specific genre of music, If the music is good, catchy and has a really good rhythm and beat to the song, it does not matter what the genre is. For example. my two favourite bands are Oasis and The Courteeners, the genre of these two bands is Indie/Rock and Roll (Which is also the genre of my band); but I also listen to artists completely different such as Drake (rap) Eminem (rap) and I also frequently listen to Yiruma the famous pianist. 
To me everyone should not be assigned to one genre. I used to listen to just listen to one specific genre of music, and that was Rock and Roll, from Stone Roses to the Strokes, but now I have broadened my selection of music from Pop (Katy Perry) Rap (Drake) Indie (The Streets) and even classical music in (Yiruma).
