Article draft

Firstly i am going to put my article into three sections. Because i am doing an interview i am going to use different coloured text for the answers, this will ensure an easier to read article. I am doing a 50/50 page, where the left hand page will be a large picture of the artist and a title and the right will hold the article. I will merge them together by using a quotation in larger text across the two pages to make the pages look combined and flowing and that then makes them a better looking spread. 

Recently we somehow managed to catch up with the lead singer of the latest band to hit the world’s musical radars by storm, Rhys Jenkins from the now widely known Kings of Kings. We managed to have a chat with the lead singer as they came back to their roots of Warwick to complete their tour of the nation back where they started.

We first drew your attention to the Kings of Kings a couple months ago when we ran the story of how they managed to end up with a crowd of 200 fans packed outside of a small pub in Liverpool. Our first question to the new music mastermind was how it felt to have all those people show for them only. He let off a small laugh and a grin to himself, “Well, as flattering as it was it scared the hell out of me, all those people watching us play!”

The band are rumoured to be on the verge of finally releasing their debut album but the band currently holds a huge expectation to bring out what could rival the early work of the main bands inspiration, Elbow. Rhys told us how much the band inspired him and the rest of the Kings. “They were a massive inspiration to us, they started from the ground up like us and back at uni we always use to chill out to some Elbow and our first few gigs even had a few covers, but were nothing on them…yet”.

We then wanted ask to ask Rhys about everything behind the scene and how the band liked to chill out. “Well, it’s not the luxury life style just yet”, he laughed. “We travel round in a little camper van, it really is tricky getting everyone in. But we have a good laugh about it, kick back with a few drinks and some Xbox”.

We followed by asking which member out of the band got the most female attention. “As much as I wish it was me, for some weird reason girls would prefer a drummer…not that I’m jealous”, he laughed.

Later on the rest of the band joined us for a quick acoustic listen to them. Everyone here at FIX thought the band was simply brilliant. We would easily put them in the top ten live bands from the U.K and bought a very lively and gritty feel to the room. We then asked the band about a larger tour arriving in the future, all their lips stayed firmly shut but a small grin rose up onto their faces. Here at FIX were so sure that the Kings of Kings will be rocking up to your area soon, and we would strongly recommend you but the ticket and see the largest up and coming band in the U.K.

Our final question for Rhys was about where he thinks the Kings will be in 2 years’ time. He sighed and said, “Hopefully out of the camper van, and id love to have a number one by then, fingers crossed.
