About The coulours.... our final chosen artists

The colours are a three man band. Who come under the pop, dance and alternative genres. On the unsigned website they are compared to early 'Wham' a well known band who were mainly known by our youth for the famous song ' Wake me up before you go go' . This boy band includes three very talented musicians as the each do more than one thing to make their music sound more exciting.

Band Member & Rolls :

• Tom Pickford- vocals ,keys & guitar
• Tom Newman - Bass, Synthesizers & Backing vocals
• Tony Folland - Drums, Sequencing & Percussion

The band are currently recording their album that is due for release next year and are on tour around the UK at the moment.The band had some help with a really good producer who has worked with the Kaiser Chiefs and Pigeon Detectives who are well known at the moment. The Kaiser Cheifs are mainly known for their song 'I predict a riot'. On unsigned.com it says that The coulours like to write about real life situations and they aren't always happy ones however their melodies contradict that as they are upbeat and fun.

As The Colours were compared to Wham i decided to look at one of their famous music videos 'Wake me up before you go go'. The reason i decided to look at this music video is because of the bright colours and funness of the video. I really like these ideas and think they could work well in our video if they were to fit. Their style of costume is also very retro and 8Os looking which is good for more music video as we would like to maybe incorporate some bright 8Os style images.

I also think they are quite like a modern day band called The Wombats. They are a indie pop band who have the same kind of image as The Colours and also have a very familiar sound to their music. Here is one of their music videos and songs:

I think we could maybe try and go for an image just like these band members as they are pretty familiar to The Colours. I also like the idea that their music videos are fun and random and creative yet still make sense. Maybe we could try something like this.
