Joy Division - Shadowplay

Thought I'd share a really awesome song by Joy Division, 'Shadowplay'. JD are more punk, but are also under the Rock category. There's quite an obvious difference between punk music and Alternative Rock, punk usually having more of a grungy and/or energetic pace and tone. Alternative Rock is much more vibrant and gritty and will definitely consist of electronics and modern technology. Punk likes to stick to the basics of bass, guitar and drums.

Update: AMP Magazine

Just an update on my Magazine. I changed my contents page as I didn't like the way my first attempt turned out. I based it on a Q Magazine contents page, and I think it worked slightly better than the one based on NME Magazine. I am particularly pleased with my Double Page Spread, however, it doesn't have a middle fold. I may have to edit this, unfortunately!

As for my Contents page, I decided that I didn't like the way my first attempt turned out. Instead, I took inspiration from Q magazine and tried to fit in the conventions that they have with theirs. I think it worked out better than the last one, but I may still edit it.

Muse: Live at Emirates Stadium

I thought I'd upload a video I filmed of Muse, live at Emirates Stadium last May! They were crazy, this was the first song they played, 'Supremacy'. It was the second time I've seen them live and they certainly live up to their reputation as 'Best Live Band'. 

Bridged - New Band

My friend who lives in Northamptonshire and is studying Music has released his first song for his band's upcoming EP! It's a really cool rock song, taking features from The Black Keys but making it their own. My friend is the guitarist, and I thought I'd share it to help them out. 

It would also help them out a lot if you'd like their Facebook page and spread the word! 

Different Styles of Music

I was researching some different types of music, and found some instrumental pieces which reminded me of Alternative Rock even though they are instrumental/electronica. In some of the songs you can hear rock influences which is interesting to see how music has evolved, especially rock, over the years.

I found this song during a scene from the American TV show, 'Breaking Bad'.

Update: Front Cover

Happy January!

This is an update on my front cover. I still need to add something to it, but I'm not sure what or where. I might add a puff with a bright colour to attract the reader, however. 

Cage The Elephant - New Song

Amazing new song by Cage The Elephant, one of my favourite Alternative Rock bands. I'm seeing them next month, too!
