Rilo Kiley (original band)

Some information…

• Rilo Kiley is an American indie rock band who are signed by Warner Bros. They came together in 1998 and released their debut single in 2001.

• Although they are a band our group decided that it would be more suitable if we had a one girl in the video. This is because when listening to the song there is only one noticeable voice an the rest of the band aren’t obvious voices to the song. Although they normally classify under the genre of indie rock this song is more indie pop so it was hard to find similar artists but here are some that we did find.

Corrine Bailey Rae
