Popularity of Genre

The genre that we have found that Funnel best suits was Pop-Punk/Indie, as they have the same three-chord sound as many punk bands in some of their songs but they also have material that would fit into the genre of indie and new wave. In recent years there has been very few punk sounding songs that sound similar to Funnel in the pop charts. the most recent and popular songs that would come close to a similar sound as our band would be from the more indie and new wave sounding bands such as

• The White Stripes
• The Gossip

These were the closest sounding to 'Funnel' that i could find that have been a success within the pop charts for the last 10 years, this is because bands such as these can be placed into many sub-genres, this causes music to be lost as no one knows how to access this music as easily as commercial pop songs. There is little demand for this type of music.
