Audience Targetting

I believe My Magazine will appeal to the younger audiences aged between 14- 22. I think this because it has an interview with a band the similar age who is breaking out and making themselves known in the music industry at a young age. It can inspire other young musicians to come out and motivate other musicians to form a band that can succeed.

The Style
The style of music for the band I am interviewing is Industrial Metal. This is a well known genre which consists of repetitive riffs and double bass drums. They usually have controversial lyrics too. It is usually fast paced so people can "mosh" to it, or at least "headbang." This creates a lively atmosphere of people being active and moving at a fast pace. This appeals to the Teenage audience as that age range is usually the range that people go to concerts and jump around moshing and headbanging. This type of active dancing can be seen as violent to some people and does not usually appeal to the older generation or the very young generation.

The Interview
 I will be interviewing the band about their debut album release. I will be talking about how they got to know the producers of the album and what happened along the way on making it. I will also be asking about what their future plans are and if they will be touring. Again I believe this will appeal to the age range of 14-22 because it is the age musicians start to experiment with genres of music and start to play local gigs to help form and gel a band together. This interview would help inspire the audience to follow the footsteps of the band and try and become as successful as them.

The bands genre of music is Industrial Metal. This consists of reppetative riffs, 8 bit drum beats and shouting vocals. The music can be seen as angry and violent because of the "punch" the riffs have in terms of repeatting itself. The riffs and drums beats are very quick and loud and repeat themselves roughly every 4 seconds. This angry sound in music could mean the genre appeals to a working class citizen. With the recent recession and credit crunch and the lack of jobs available, or people being made redundent, Alot of people became angry as their life was basiclly coming to a halt. Some people may of listened to Industrial metal to let the anger out.

I belive Gender is not an issue to the genre. The male gender Is where the genre is stereotypically classed due to the angry sound of music and Men singing about the lost love from a women. However Some industrial metal bands such as Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson have sex icon front men (Trent Reznor off NIN and Brian Warner off MM) They are good looking guys with powerful voices and this appeals to the female gender.
