Julian Casablancas + The Voidz are an American rock band formed by Julian Casablancas who is the lead singer of The Strokes. The band consists of Casablancas (lead vocals) as well as Jeramy Gritter (guitar), Amir Yaghmai (guitar), Jake Bercovici (bass guitar, synthesizers), Alex Carapetis (drums, percussion) and Jeff Kite (keys). They come under the genres of: experimental, psychedelic and noise rock, post punk and neo psychedelia."They bonded over their love of beat-driven music and aggressive as well as avant-garde music but with the power of modern harmonies to make it catchy and powerful. A punk band that can also play any style of music, and take pride in their versatility"

In interviews they have said they like to leave the music open to interpretation of those listening however they describe it as "half joking and half political".
On September 23, 2014 they released their first album on Cult Records with music videos for the two singles "human sadness" and "where no eagles fly".The video for human sadness was directed by Warren Fu with a live recording of the band playing as they didn't want the video to affect how people hear the song. The video is narrative through stories of each band member then shows them performing also. While their other music video shows footage of the band touring that looks likes its taken on a 80s vhs camera and is darker which fits with the more punk style of the music.
Prior to the release of their album they released videos introducing the band and the album

They also have a website and Facebook page where they promote what they are releasing in the future.
Elden overall I think you're making great progress but there are some gaps which are bringing your mark down slightly. I've currently got your R+P mark at 17/20 - you need to improve your audience work. More bands should be included and a better summary about what you've learned about your target audience and what to do in your video to appeal to them.
