3. Character Profile
• The Band in the article will be called Ambushed Reality with the
two band members; Lewis Corbett and Scott Boardman. They’re
both from Birmingham (The birthplace of heavy metal). Many
different rock artists are from here so they’ve grown to become
inspired by such artists. They’re also inspired by many other artists
in the rock genre such as Imagine Dragons whom are quite like their
music with elements of other well known rock bands. They’ve also
released a new album with a calibration with Imagine Dragons on
their new single ‘The Cycle’. This was one of Ambushed Reality’s
first single to hit mainstream alternative rock genre charts in just
under a few days. Due to Ambushed Reality being a two member
band, they’ve had the joy of spending such time together as well as
growing up and going to the same college together.

4. New Album
• They’ve been working on their album ‘Digital
Vision’ since 2006 and only released it in early
2016. However, despite the fact they’ve not long
released it, they’ve still managed to hit the top of
the rock charts and number 4 in the charts overall
in just under a week. They didn’t want to spend a
short amount of time in a studio and rush their
tracks as they thought it wouldn’t be to their
best. Saying that, they also recorded half of their
album in non digital studios which helped create
a further roar sounding track/ tracks.

5. Questions and answers
• How did they get started?
They spoke to someone from Enter Shikari
whom helped them reach a supporting time slot
before their set. This helped create a further fan
base as they branched out to further possible
fans. They also featured on one of Imagine
Dragons tracks and they featured on one of
theirs. This helped create a huge fan base.

6. Certain Lyrics
• On the songs ‘Smoke King’ they talk about
how one of their friends was consistently
thinking how he was no.1 due to how he was
smoking. He later died due to how many times
a day he found himself smoking. “Slowly kicks
in, I only want one more cus I’m the…Smoke
King” helps create the real gritty look at one of
their friends and how he was bosting about
smoking consistently.
