Inspirational Bands

Music has always played a major part in growing up in my opinion. In today's society this is ever present. For example, if a teenager has grown up listening to music of the rap genre, they are most probably going to model there self's on the performers, this goes to say with every genre, if a teenager has grown up listening to music of the rock genre such as slipknot, they are most probably going to dress and act as how the band members act due to them being their role models. Myself I kind of contradict this theory, due to the fact I listened (from what I can remember) to all sorts of different genre of music, from R'n'B, Pop and even Motown but from around the age of 10, My brother introduced me to his genre of music, Indie and Rock and Roll and I never looked back.
I believe role models such as my brother, helped me discover my self and music. From the age of 10, my brother introduced me to bands such as Oasis, The Courteeners, Arctic Monkeys, The Killers, The Strokes, Razorlight; these are just a few of the bands my brother introduced me too and and still to this day, these bands inspire me.

The reason I picked Mint Ive as my band as I believe they have have a mixture of each one of these bands which is a dream combination for me as I believe these bands are amongst the greatest on this planet, and to find an unsigned band with the type of music I am into was a real bonus for me and indeed made this project a lot easier. These bands and indeed my chosen band have one major thing in common, they a vocalist, guitar, bass and a drummer, which in my opinion is how music should be and another reason why these bands inspired me.

Another reason why these bands inspired me is the fact they have a mass variety of songs, here is a couple of examples of how they can indeed produce two completely different styles of songs but are still manage to produce high quality songs.

Here is Rock 'N' Roll star by Oasis, one of there all time greatest songs, very upbeat and the song is all about going out and having a good time.

Here we have the complete opposite of the previous song, both from Oasis, this song is a very meaningful and  mellowed down song.
