Search for our artist

The process of finding an artist who would allow Natalie and I to use their song was a very strenuous one. We started out by looking up artists and choosing a song which we thought would make a good music video, and then researched contact information, whether it was directly to them or through their managers. We decided to each contact a few bands and I went about this by contacting We Are The In Crowd's management and directly through Instagram with no luck of a response, I also contacted Kill It Kid through Instagram too, which I also received no response from. Additionally I contacted The Crookes' manager via email and by contacting them through Instagram. Finally, I obtained a response from The Crookes allowing us to use their song.

Their manager, Penny Blackham, has allowed us to use The Crookes' song 'Afterglow' for our music video however for obvious reasons we are unable to use the actual band in the video.

The Crookes are an indie rock band who formed in Sheffield in 2008, they are signed to Fierce Panda Records, an independent London record label through which they have released three albums. Their style has been described as a fusion of 1960's pop music and "heartbreaking melodies" inspired by 1950's. Critics have compared the bands' sound to that of The Smiths for example and have picked up on the narrative qualities to many of their songs.
