MY BAND'S PROFILE/ IDENTITY

My main band that will feature in my magazine 'ignite' as the main cover stars are called 'The Desperados':

• Their 'image' is one that is rebellious and dangerous because this complies best with the serious indie rock genre and is similar to the image of indie rock bands like Arctic Monkeys and Kasabian which are the main influences for this band.
• They originate from the UK so their words dialect and slang (in the double page spread) may reflect their culture as a British band which will help create a better image and personality for my band
• Their ages will be ranged between 21-25 because they are a young and upcoming band. This age would also appeal to my target audience because they are of the same age and therefore they would be more inclined to read about a young band
• In my double page spread article i will also include information about the band's new album which is called 'The day left behind' because it sounds serious but also emotional and therefore reflects the mood of the music within the album. 
• This also links in with the band's name as desperado means outlaw so its like the band are putting their past behind them through their music (the name of this album) because they are outlaws in today's society which is also their motivation for this album.
•  This album is their first which has been the key to their success as a young upcoming band, therefore it needs to appeal to my target audience which is partly achieved by the name of the album and the mood it connotes which would be attractive to fans of indie rock. However i think i also achieve this through the tracks in the album:

1. How will you live without me?
2. the 25th floor
3. back and forth 
4. don't look back
5. shock parade
6. exclusion
7. see it in your eyes
8. fierce nights
9. gotta' run
10. falling through
11. stay another day
12. how will i live without you?

• These sound like tracks that would fit the indie rock genre well because they either reflect the emotions, feelings and experiences of a typical indie rock band which the target audience could relate to (especially if they're the same age, which they're likely to be) or they are abstract and random which would intrigue the target audience and make them want to listen to them so they could discover what they're about.
• This band would also do tours of the UK whih i could include information on in my double page spread however i could talk about the potential of a tour in America as this band is becoming more famous and popular worldwide
• I will include information about the album and tours because bands try and sell themselves when they are in magazine and i will do the same
• My magazine 'Ignite' would want to include a band like 'The Desperados' because its a mainstream magazine and therefore, despite indie rock being more of a niche genre, 'Ignite' would still want to feature the hottest up and coming bands  like they have done over the years with indie rock band, Arctic Monkeys.
