The first information we were able to discover about them, was on there facebook page- this information was posted on there information section on there fan page.
"we are an English pop-punk band from Hastings, East Sussex, that offically formed in March 2009. We are made up of 3 members, Sam Vincent, Yannis Nicolaou and Joey Thomas, all aged between 16-19. We are currently LOOKING FOR A DRUMMER, due to the recent departure of our old drummer (university). So far we have played many gigs around Hastings, Bexhill and Eastbourne, all of which have been recieved positively. We have made a name for ourselves for having very fun, energetic live shows, and catchy sing-along pop-punk anthems. :D Also we have gained 1st place in the Hastings Music Festival, had a track played on Hastings Rock Radio, and performed a live set and interview on Bexhill FM Radio. We have also recorded a number of demo tracks and gained a growing fanbase. :) We are currently searching for a record label, and playing regular gigs! "
Here is a picture of the group itself. It includes four band members, which are all male and i would say they have an indie/punk group image. This is due to there style of clothes, hair colours and style too.
Another form of research we did, was looking them up on facebook, we discovered a facebook page, where all there groupies had liked it, information on tours and also dates on when theyd be performing or playing gigs. This facebook page, also showed more picutres of the band members , links to twitter and other facebook events pages such as there gigs and performances. You were able to access this page through google as well as facebook. Having a facebook page, allows acres of life to be able to recieve feedback, suggestions but also it is a form of business and promotion as well. 
They also had a Twitter page, not many people had followed it, but the fact they have it allows them to advertise there events and gigs on another form of social networks. Here is a screenshot of there twitter page, including there logo and brand name so it is easily recognised. on the actual page, most of the tweets include links to there facebook page and gigs they are peforming. The fact they have only tweeted eleven times suggests they are new to this and dont use it that often, in comparison to facebook where they have 541 fans.
Also, most importantly we looked them up on youtube, to watch previous performances and see what sort of music they were. They had many videos that they posted online, and most of them were just filmed on a hand help camera by a friend at one of there gigs. Most of there gigs were either at village halls or similar places. Here are a few of there videos, and also we came across them having studio diary's and also video diary's of when they came on a 'road trip' to Hurtwood house.

This is one of 'Acres of life' video diarys,
They have made many video diaries over the last few years, and this clip is from the video diary they made whilst they were filming at Hurtwood. Each day they had to travel quite far and the video diary is based on there journeys, there opinions and it also allows us to get an insight in there life outside performing. But we learn that there life’s revolve around music and this was evident whilst watching there videos. I enjoyed watching there videos, which were rather humorous as well as entertaining.
Below is a video Acres of fire have edited and put together themselves. It shows a range of video clips of them performing, rehearsing and also shows a wide range of skills have they acquired visually and physically.
