The Make Believe - Give It A Million

Hailing from Christchurch, The Make Believe have surged through the industry, ending up with a US-sourced funding deal (Three Piece Productions) which has enabled them to record a bunch of songs in order to (hopefully) be picked up by one of the US majors. It's an impressive trajectory, and there is no doubting how they have been able to do this. Tyler Vivian, Mike Lake and Matt Andrews are talented individuals writing songs that a large proportion of the young adult and "tween" population like to hear. They started off playing a mix of covers and originals, but "Give It A Million" is theirs, and it is clearly commercial gold (at time of writing, 147,000 Youtube views). Power pop is definitely not my genre, but I cannot deny this is not just good for its genre, it is world class. I also have a few problems resisting that (song) break! Nice work. I know I have heard this on the radio and just assumed it was an offshore act. Easy to imagine these guys getting signed, and going on to stateside success. The band was brought to my attention by Logan Swinkels, who did a very good job on this video, a video that is appropriate for the act, the audience and its genre, and was probably very cost efficient.
