newspaper. The first artist to be published in the magazine was Angus Young

go from being produced fortnightly to moving up to it becoming a weekly

Reasons for choosing Kerrang!:
We have chosen that we would want to promote our CD in
Kerrang! magazine, we feel this would be the best suited magazine for out genre
and its clearly an extremely popular magazine, we know our music will fit in
perfectly with this magazine as bands such as Bring Me The Horizon and
Architects have been on the front cover, these bands of some of the bands we
took inspiration from within their videos and music.
The magazines target audience is males around the age of
18-25, this is just the target audience we will be looking at aiming our video
towards as we know that younger people tend to be more into pop music and start
developing their own natural tastes as they grow older and experience more of
what is out there.
The covers usually consist of a band photo, this really
helps to promote the band and also makes it very visually appealing to catch
peoples eye, it also helps give a bold image to show what the main article will
be about, this main article is shown in large letters on the front, they
usually either promote a new album that they have coming out or they have band
interviews in the magazine.
