2. Background
Dream nails is a band from London found
in 2015 by the lead singer and the lead
guitarist in a feminist activist convention.
They identify themselves as 'punk witches',
and with their genre as 'witch punk'.
According to the band they do not 'write
music' but instead 'hexes'
The band used to be a 4 member band but
the bass player has left the group for
unknown reasons. But now they are a 3
member band:
1. Janey starling – lead singer
2. Anya pearson – guitarist
3. Lucy katz - drummer
3. How did I discover Tourist?
I found this band through SoundCloud,
where the majority of the
artists/musicians are unsigned. The
song 'tourist' was played from a shuffled
playlist I was listening to. I have also
listened to their other songs however it
did not appeal to me compared with
'tourist'
4. How/why did Tourist appeal
to me?
The song 'tourist' really stood out from my
other songs, which were all based on a
narrative of being in a relationship and the
aftermath of a break-up. This song had a
really catchy chorus, with the use
of repetition, the lyrics were replayed over
and over again. This relates to the female
audiences as it's really powerful on how girls
doesn’t need a boy to save them.
5. How will I ensure that my product will appeal
my target audience?
I will look at other music videos in the wide range of the punk/'riot
grrrl' genre and also researching into the genre of the music. I think that if I
put my research about what I have learnt about the punk/'riot grrrl' genre into
my products then the music video will appeal to the targeted audience.
