Research for our chosen Band

our chosen band is a local band from Ipswich called "The Martells". http://www.themartellslive.com/index.html. The band is made of 4 people Gary Nunn, Sandy Sutherland, Pete Wolfe and John Wright. The band that we are making a pop promo for cover songs by a range of artists dating back from the 1950's right up to the present day, as this is the case i am going to research a few of the bands that the martells cover. This is so that we can identify the genre of music and target our promotional package to their audience.

Pink Floyd
Pink Floyd is an English rock band who earned recognition for their psychedelic music in the late 1960s, and as they evolved in the 1970s, for their progressive rock music. Pink Floyd's work is marked by the use of philosophical lyrics, sonic experimentation, innovative album cover art, and elaborate live shows. One of rock music's most critically acclaimed and commercially successful acts, the group have sold over 200 million albums worldwide, including 74.5 million certified units in the United States, making them one of the best-selling music artists of all time.

Ronan Keating
Ronan Keating is an Irish singer-songwriter who has had many record breaking hits as a solo artist, and with Boyzone. The genre of music he tends to write/sing include Pop, ballad, dance pop, folk rock and country.

Journey
Journey is an American rock band formed in 1973 in San Francisco, California, with former members of Santana. The band has gone through several phases, but its strongest commercial success came in the late 1970s to the early 1980s. During this period, they had hits with a series of power ballads and rock songs, including "Don't Stop Believin'", "Separate Ways", "Faithfully", "Any Way You Want It", "Open Arms", "Send Her My Love", "Wheel in the Sky", "Who's Crying Now", "Stone In Love", "Lovin,' Touchin,' Squeezin;'", and "Lights". The group enjoyed a successful reunion in the mid-1990s with a major Grammy-nominated hit, "When You Love a Woman." Throughout Journey's three decades of existence, their albums have achieved gold status twice, platinum status three times, multi-platinum plateau eight times, and Diamond once. These include seven consecutive multi-platinum albums, stretching from 1978 to 1987. They had 19 Top 40 singles, six of which reached the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Their signature song, "Don't Stop Believin'", is the top-selling catalog track in iTunes history, at more than three million downloads.
