Double Page Spread; First Draft

The unsigned Night Collars is an indie band of four lads. They formed in the North West and are desperate to try and win your hearts to vote for them to become signed by the White Label record label in Manchester. Many people know of the North West from the famous band The Beatles, the Night Collars may not yet be as big as The Beatles but they sure can be in time.

The Night Collars formed their band a few years ago in school, after messing around in their music lessons producing sounds of their own, they had realised that together they were quite good so they came together and formed there band. Not all the original members still feature in the band but two of them do! Niall Farrington and Jake Wright. They have picked up a few new members along the way and dropped a few, but now featuring the Night Collars are Lee Rafferty and Daniel Scully. Together they make mind-blowing music compositions. They started of as a band as just a fun thing to keep them occupied doing covers instead of hanging around the streets like all of there other mates did but the phase of it being just for fun soon dropped and they were inspired to try and make it big by The Editors. After seeing The Editors and a few other bands at gigs, the Night Collars wanted a taste of what it was like to be up in front of people performing. Of cause they started of performing only covers but then on drunken nights Niall and Jake started to create lyrics that although weren’t good, were actually rather good. After seeing themselves on the mornings after their drunken nights on their friend’s phones singing, they decided that they would sing their own songs that they had created and give them a few little changes to make them more serious and creative. After realising that they could produce some good lyrics and backing tracks behind it they started to create them more often and sing them in front of their mates to get their opinions. So when they started gigging the only songs they sung were covers and eventually started to sing their own songs. ‘We get this amazing buzz when were onstage! Now we crave the attention and that feeling we get when were up there. If we had it our way we would be signed now and performing our songs to the world everyday, touring, and gigging. We love our fans that we have and we love to perform to them and give them a performance never to forget! We never ever know what is going to happen at any of our performances because anything can happen; we don’t plan them we don’t even plan the songs to sing. It depends on the mood of our fans on what we sing. It would mean everything to us if we could be signed by a record label that’s why

we have come to show you, us, the Night Collars. It sounds big headed but we have been told it that we have an extra-ordinary talent I think that one day we could be as big as The Beatles but only time can tell. We don’t think that we will have a chance like this again not for a long time. So for us this is our chance. Our only chance!’
