Breakdown of Tear Down

Who are Tear Down?

Tear Down is the name of our post grunge band. In the group we have three member one vocalist, one on guitar and the other on drums. Tear Down are a British made band who are hoping to make it big in America.



Brief History:
They first met when they picked up Music studies for GCSE and were placed in group based on their preferences on music. They were placed in their small group of alternative and began to play as a band for the first time with their first choice of song Nirvana-Smells like teen spirit. They continued to play in their band and eventually left school and achieved their first pub performance and continued from their eventually claiming their name in the music industry.

Influences:
The band had such influences as many classic grunge bands such as Sound Garden and Nirvana. In recent years they have found their aspirations from bands such as Seether and Staind. This has allowed them to adjust their style  in a way fitting to the times but adding their own unique twist to the music industry. By doing this it has allowed them to gain much more success within the industry and get to the point to which they are now, even now they are gaining more fans.

Tear Down love the going on tour and thats the reason why they started in the music industry, their sole purpose was to entertain people with their unique lyrics. They never intended to get as far as they did but they did and now they have started selling merchandise to their fans.

The genre of grunge and post-grunge is very simple... its all related to depressive and angry feeling music. However, Tear Down want to break away from this genre convention and make their own. they feel what's better than to take that feeling of depression and make people feel the opposite with relatable lyrics and a similar purpose. People find reasoning within the genre of grunge, that feeling that you are not the only one who has suffered. Tear Down want to show it is not the only way but in order to make someone feel better you ned to show them that there is an alternative and that is the one aim of Tear Down.

What we want Tear Down to look like:

This is the appearance of post grunge. This is what we intend for every member of our group to look like. In order to do this we need the continuos theme of long hair, piecings and checkered or band t-shirts.  

Brief

The Brief:


This year we are to make a music video to go along with a song of our choice. We have been able to decide who will be in our group in order for us to complete the project. This means that team work is essential and will be needed if a good grade is to be achieved. The music video must be unique and will need to be unlike non other making it a challenge to complete. We will need to create something unusual which tells a story but that understood to those who watch it.

I have chosen to work with Rosie since we have a similar taste in music and have discussed a few ideas and all seem to be very relatable to the songs which we have listened to. We will need to finalise our ideas of course but a couple have been thrown out and some more have been said.
