These song titles come from bands and lyrics of similar genre's of music and are targeted at similar audiences e.g. Young Alts. These track names really relate to the way I want to convey my band, this being a laid back, energetic, and fun 3 piece band, and the song titles relate to that party atmosphere whilst also explaining the emotions in relationships with women that the genre is known for. The album starts with the song entitled "Down n' Dirty", this is placed first on the album because it promotes what the album is about and gives the impression of quick, indie rock, sex driven track in which will particularly interest the larger percentage of target audience, young male adults. The second track name I took from Deaf Havana's latest album in which the genre is quite different from mine, but the lyrics and track name describe the thoughts of the artist about a particular female, and the track name also again gives that impression of a fast paced song. Out Of Dreams is the song I've chosen for the debut single and music video. This is because it shows strongly the indie rock style I want to create whilst also meeting the points I want to convey. This song isn't just typically the same or similar to Down n' Dirty but instead has more meaning and emotion in the lyrics, this is one of the reasons I have put it third in the track list so as we move through the album more emotion is brought through the songs. Stocking To Suit is a song I took from the artist The Rascals. I've used this because its another song that relates to the matter of women, and their opinions about different people. Why do you want him? is another track that makes the band give out their opinion about certain people, and the lyrics would relate to allot of the target audience, this was taken from Green's Day debut album when they were of similar age to my Band and therefore I think is appropriate for its placement in this track list. The 6th track was taken from Arctic Monkeys Suck It And See album, I choose this because Arctic Monkeys is of a very similar sound and genre to my band and therefore share the same target audience. This is the same scenario with the 7th track, and this song keeps up with the theme of fast paced fun party's. Makeout Party is a soon to be released song by Green Day which will be track listed on their upcoming album DOS! which has be stated as the party album of the trilogy they are releasing, which is the reason why its really appropriate for my bands album. C.O.D.E.S and Falling Out are the Ballard and slow songs of the album, researching into track listings bands generally finish with large statement songs, which have much bigger meanings to the artist. Both these songs are taken from Muse, who are known for creating extreme metaphorical lyrics in songs which carry deep meanings, even though the style is very different compared to both bands, the title correctly gives the impression of a difference between them and the rest of the album.
