Industry

Artist
 


The Vaccines are an Indie Rock band that were formed in 2010 and signed to Columbia Records. They have released 2 albums and appear to focus on their abilities to deliver a high quality live performance. This image that the band aim to portray can be linked to Negus' 'organic ideology' where there is a more 'naturalistic approach to artists'. In accordance with this they are known for there performances at festivals which they seem to have as their main gigs rather than a tour.

By looking closer into the band I am able to take into consideration their image and style and ensure that I reflect theses with my video.




Record Company

Founded in 1888, Columbia is the oldest surviving brand name in pre-recorded sound, being the first record company to produce pre-recorded records as opposed to blank cylinders. Columbia Records went on to release records by an array of notable singers, instrumentalists and groups. From 1961 to 1990, its recordings were released outside the U.S. and Canada on the CBS Records label before adopting the Columbia name in most of the world. Today it is a premier subsidiary label of Sony Music Entertainment. Steve Barnett and Rick Rubin are the co-heads of Columbia Records. Mike Smith is MD of Columbia UK.
