Soundtrack Change

Today our class found out the new rules put forward by the OCR board regarding soundtracks. we are now not allowed to use any music without any permissions from the song owners. So this means that i am now going to have to change my soundtrack from the Foals "Spanish Sahara" to a a different song which does not clash with any copyright ownership. I thought at the time that i could just make a track in garage band however i wanted some live recorded music to go with the indie stereotype of the music. The track i am now using comes from a local indie rock band called The Castells from Durham, and the track i am using is called "Infections". i have emailed the lead singer of the band to ask permission to use his song and he has gave me permission to on the grounds that i send him a copy of the trailer afterwards. i feel using a band that are unsigned will also portray the stereotype of indie as many indie fans prefer unsigned bands to bands who are major. Below is a youtube video showing the song that i am using. i had to create this video on final cut express as The Castells have no music videos on youtube.
