Research into band image


Every artist or band has an image, be it a leather clad metal band or a scantly clad pop star, they are all individual and are an extension of the artist's persona. To assist with our choice of costumes for our cast I have decided to take a look at notable examples of costumes worn in music videos and other media of bands that fit our genre. Below are rock, pop punk and alternative groups that I have chosen to look at:  


The Academy Is...

The academy is are an emo pop-punk band from Chicago. Their image throughout band pictures and music videos alike is skinny jeans, jackets shirts and loose fitting t-shirts, The bands image is also maintained by the long hair and fringes. Though they aren't considered a pop band they do maintain a pop/boy band image keeping with popular trend and fashion. 

Bring Me The Horizon

Bring Me The Horizon are a Metalcore band from Sheffield, UK. The bands dress sense started out at very dark with black drain pipes and band t-shirts the norm, however with time and the support of many major alternative clothing labels Bring Me The Horizon has taken advantage of the new trend in indie clothing.                                     

                                                                     
Sum 41

Canadian punk-rock group Sum 41 encompass a punk/emo image with spikey hair and black skinny jeans as well as the use of baggier clothing in some of their appearances, over time the band has moved away from its grunge roots in terms of their clothing but they do maintain an element of that style in their image.

           
Breaking Benjamin

Breaking Benjamin are a rock band from Pennsylvania. The band carry a rock image in some of their media appearances, however they have progressed to sharper, more coordinated outfits which could be likened to many boy bands.
