DPS Stand First

I looked at two stand first's, one was from Wire Magazine from an interview of the indie band Invisible Jukebox and the second one was from Billboard and was an interview with The 1975s (Indie band) frontman Matt Healy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Both Stand Firsts began by introducing the band members and then proceeded to tell a brief history of the bands involving where and when they began and the evolution of their music. Billboard also described the singers appearance and the location of the interview, this makes the reader feel as though they are their listening to the interview as it takes place. The two Stand Firsts were rather short lasting around two paragraphs long, but they both set the tone of the interview. In the Wires Stand first we can tell the interview will be solely on the music but with the Billboard one we can tell from the talk of personal affair the interview will be more based on the artist as a person rather then the music they produce.

 

From my research I have created my Stand First for my Indie band Cosmic Haze:

 

Cosmic Haze is a sister duo formed of Ava (18) and Aurora (17) Skys. They were formed in 2012 in London. They are Indie/Alternative bands, who are shaking up the Indie genre by mixing different sub-genres to create new and innovative music. The girls have music in their blood with both of their parents coming from a musical background; in fact, it was their parents who encouraged the girls to pursue a carrier in music and helped them begin. The girls started busking on the streets of London at the ages of 15 and 14.

This month the girls released their first Album ‘Galaxy in a Glass Bottle’, it has eight remarkable, award winning songs on it and has been a smash hit with fans and critics.
