The Amazing Snakeheads – Amphetamine Ballads


for the non-narrative brief  were were giving a list of music album and were told to pick one from the list. I picked seven albums from the list after i looked at Nick Cave (murder ballads) iggy azalea (the new classic)SBTKT(wonder where we land)Royal blood(royal blood)childish gambino(because the internet)jerry lee lewis (great balls of Fire)the amazing snake heads(amphetamine ballads)after looking at all the albums i picked to look at its was clear that i was going to do the amazing sneak heads. after listing to one song i was instantly went for the  amazing sneak head.

onces i  new the  band and album i will be  going to look into the band i had to see what inspired there songs to get a idea for my concept.and also look at the history of the band. and to help me .come up with i concept i will be looking into different types of poster art like rock n billy and hardcore poster art.but after doing some looking and listing to the band my anion was changes after two songes on the ablum which was here it comes again and im a vampire flatlining. i got the feel that they could have some type of link with drugs.

''[1] Short bursts of anger snap into place in the dimly lit songs of the Amazing Snakeheads, a Glasgow band enamored with the well-worn fusion of punk and classic rock'n'roll. If punk represented a new year zero for rock to some, for others it carried all the hallmarks of a past worth digging up and fusing with its abrasive form. This is the punk that takes jerry lee lewis as its starting point instead of, say, the Stooges or Suicide. It’s unashamedly backwards-looking, caught somewhere between the precipice gazing of nick cave in his birthday party days and the plastic Elvis front Jon Spencer took in the Blues Explosion. It wouldn’t work without the robust commitment of singer Dale Barclay, who’s spitting and cursing one minute (“I’m a Vampire”) then lost at the end of his tether over a woman the next (“Heading for Heartbreak”). The whiff of pomade may be palpable, but so is the air of commitment.
