BLOSSOMS NME ARTICLE FROM NME ON LINE

Title and image of the band to show who they are and what the article is about. They want to be a bigger band and they believe they’re ready for the responsibility.

Slang used, as well as swear words, showing it’s informal and not serious.

More swearing and they talk about their experiences of being a smaller band and how it was for them with sneaking into Travelodge and such.

Talking about first being signed and their work ethnic, giving ideas to smaller bands about how to act if they want to be bigger.

Selling the EP “Bloom” and talking about some of the songs and how the band wrote the songs on the EP. Relating them to other bands like The Smiths and The Stone Roses as well as artist they like, like Arctic Monkeys, The Doors and even Abba.

Talking about how they got their sound of the music, with one of them working in a hotel and hearing wedding music, another saying that they’re a pop band but they’re really just trying to sound like themselves.

Also talking about where they want to be in a few years time.

AnalysisThe article is aimed towards fans of the band who like their genre of

music, which is Indie/prog rock, I suppose for young adults who are the main target audience for the band itself. You can tell because they talk about how they got to where they are right now and their feelings towards getting big.

It’s pretty informal, as a lot of it is what the band member said and he uses a lot of slang like “innit” among others.

It’s not meant to be serious as it’s fairly laid back and relaxed rather than being completely formal.

The aim of the article is partially to inform how Blossoms became who they are today, but also somewhat educating for smaller bands wanting to get to where they are. It’s also to sell their album to people and convince people they’re a good band.
