Similar artists : band image

Here are a few bands I have began to explore that are similiar to my chosen band. For my digi pack I am researching bands like these, their "band image" and style.



Blondie
Blondie, although not a contemporary band, has the image that is similiar to my band. I focused on bands in which have a female main singer, backed by a male band. The image of Blondie creates the main focus of the singer.



CSS
CSS is a Brazilian rock band. The band was labeled as part of the explosion of the New Rave scene. Their songs are in both English and Portuguese. CSS is an abbreviation for Cansei de Ser Sexy literally "got tired of being sexy" in Portuguese. The band is a mixture of males and females and has an individual style.


Goldfrapp

Goldfrapp is an English electronic music duo, formed in 1999 in London, England, that consists of Alison Goldfrapp (vocals/synthesizer) and Will Gregory (synthesizer). The duo has had nenowned success for their electronic indie sound, it focuses most on Alison (the singer) for representing Goldfrapp and the image.


Noah and the whale and Laura Marling.
Noah and the Whale are an English Indie folk band from Twickenham, London, England formed in 2006. Their most famous song was combined with Laura Marling "5 Years Time" their folk combined with indie sound.



Paramore
Paramore is an American rock band from Franklin, Tennessee, formed in 2004. The band consists of lead vocalist Hayley Williams, bassist Jeremy Davis, and guitarist Taylor York.
Singer-songwriter John Mayer had praised Williams' voice in a blog in October 2007, calling her "The great orange hope"; "orange" in reference to her hair colour.
Due to the female fronted aspect of the band, Paramore has gained comparisons to Kelly Clarkson and the aforementioned Avril Lavigne, to which one reviewer said was "sorely unfounded."[79][80] Reviewer Jonathan Bradley noted that "Paramore attacks its music with infectious enthusiasm."





Pixies

The Pixies are an American alternative rock band that formed in Boston, Massachusetts in 1986. The group consists of Black Francis (vocals, guitar), Joey Santiago (guitar), Kim Deal (bass guitar, vocals), and David Lovering (drums). While the Pixies found only modest success in their home country, they were significantly more successful in the United Kingdom and elsewhere in Europe, although never achieving prolonged mainstream success with their studio albums. The group disbanded in 1993 in acrimonious circumstances but reunited in 2004.

The band's style of music contains elements including indie rock and surf rock. Francis is the Pixies' primary songwriter and singer who has been noted for his yowling delivery. He has typically written about offbeat subjects, such as extraterrestrials, surrealism and Biblical violence.

The group has been described as a big influence on the alternative rock boom of the 1990s, though they disbanded before reaping any of the benefits this might have brought them.
