Character Profile

• The Band in the article will be called Ambushed Reality with the two band members; Lewis Corbett and Scott Boardman. They’re both from Birmingham (The birthplace of heavy metal). Many different rock artists are from here so they’ve grown to become inspired by such artists. They’re also inspired by many other artists in the rock genre such as Imagine Dragons whom are quite like their music with elements of other well known rock bands. They’ve also released a new album with a calibration with Imagine Dragons on their new single ‘The Cycle’. This was one of Ambushed Reality’s first single to hit mainstream alternative rock genre charts in just under a few days. Due to Ambushed Reality being a two member band, they’ve had the joy of spending such time together as well as growing up and going to the same college together.

New Album

• They’ve been working on their album ‘Digital Vision’ since 2006 and only released it in early 2016. However, despite the fact they’ve not long released it, they’ve still managed to hit the top of the rock charts and number 4 in the charts overall in just under a week. They didn’t want to spend a short amount of time in a studio and rush their tracks as they thought it wouldn’t be to their best. Saying that, they also recorded half of their album in non digital studios which helped create a further roar sounding track/ tracks.

Questions and answers

• How did they get started?

Certain Lyrics

• On the songs ‘Smoke King’ they talk about how one of their friends was consistently thinking how he was no.1 due to how he was smoking. He later died due to how many times a day he found himself smoking. “Slowly kicks in, I only want one more cus I’m the…Smoke King” helps create the real gritty look at one of their friends and how he was bosting about smoking consistently.
