Article Drafts.

For my article i am going to do it on an artist on the release of their second album. I will do a mock interview with my model to help give the idea for my article and help me gets some inspiration. I will take snapshots throughout the mock interview to try and get some natural shots which would look good for the smaller shots on the page.

I will talk about previous album releases, personal life. 

I am going to lay it out like a question and answer style interview. 

here is my first draft of the article.

We caught up with Aaron from the chart topping band 'Bitterly Sweet'  from topping the charts with their top ten album! to having sellout tours it's been a great year for bitterly sweet! 

So hello! Excited about the upcoming album release?! 

Hello! Yes i am, majorly excited! Our second album is going be so much bigger and better than the first! This albums got a completely different vibe to the last one! More edgy and unique and i can't wait for people to hear it.

So what have been your main influences through making this album?!

Well i have all different music influences from so many different genres. We have influenced a more electro vibe into this album as well as bringing in more punk/rock references. We've been influenced by bands such as Cobra Starship and Hadouken!, on the punk rock side more bands such as Enter Shikari, A Day To Remember, The Blackout, Young Guns and You Me At Six. All different types of music but all somewhat an influence into the sound we have created. 

Who would be your ideal artist to tour with?!

Well one of my favourite artists are 'You Me At Six' so to be given the opportunity to tour with them would be amazing. Bands like 'The Blackout' would also be amazing to tour with. Even an artist such as Muse would be insane to tour with! Just because of the stature they're at. 

Are you planning to do a UK tour?!

Yes! We've got a tour planned, with a few cheeky surprises along the way! We're just waiting until our manager and the label says we can announce it! But we have plenty of tricks up our sleeves. We can't wait to announce it to the fans, if they stay tuned on twitter and Facebook over the next few weeks they'll be a big announcement made!  

What was more important when writing the album, the music or the lyrics?! 

Well as i'm a singer i'd say the lyrics are pretty important, but having amazing lyrics is no good whatsoever if you have rubbish music! We all try and pitch in the best we can with coming up with riffs and beats for the album, and we all pitch in with the lyric and make them more personally to each of us.

What is your favorite venue to play at?! 

For each of us it’s different. We all like to play at smaller intimate venues where you’re really close to the crowd! We’re all from different places over England so our locals ones are always amazing to play! For example I love playing at the Middleborough Empire! Or the O2 academy in Newcastle! Some of the other guys prefer the London venues, personally my favorite London venue is the Camden Electric Ballroom. 

What’s the best tour you have ever been on?! 

Australian tours are always fun! Touring Japan is always so much fun! Just like one big party! Everything’s so different to England, no boundaries everyone just goes mental!


You're up for 'Best British Band' at the Kerrang awards, how does that feel?!
Its such an honour! That our fans went to the time and trouble to nominate us for the award. We are so nervous for the outcome, but we're up against some fantastic bands who all deserve to win as well!


What was the best show you played in 2010?!

Well a lot of time was taken out for writing the album so we didn't play a great deal of shows, well compared to the amount we play normally. We did a tour in January and Febuary then a few support shows with Enter shikari towards the end of the year. The final show with Enter Shikari at their christmas show at the Hatfield university was great! The crowd was immence! The guys are so great and there was loads of other fantastic bands playing to it was such and honour to be askerd to play alongside them.
