This is David Edmunds and he will be the drummer of my
band, the Fag Butts. I have chosen David to be the drummer
of because he fits the persona of an indie band member.
David will be the most stylish of the group, as he will wear a
tommy Hilfiger jacket on the front cover of my cd. David’s
style is different from Jensen’s and James’s; they really don’t
care what people think of them where as David wears some
branded clothing items but not many. I also chose David to
be my drummer as he is not who I would like to be the front
man of my band, as I believe he does not portray my genres
stereo types enough to lead the band but he does have
enough of the indie traits to be a supportive role in the band.
Despite him not being the lead man all 3 members of the Fag
Butts are all equally talented and unique in there own way
and David’s choice of clothing and activities made me
choose him to be in my band. David enjoys skateboarding
and this is another aspect that made me choose him for my
band.
This is James Morris and he will be the lead guitar and
vocals of the band. I wanted James to be in my band
because he is very familiar with the indie rock genre,
growing up with parents who love punk rock James has
become very used to listen to non-mainstream music
such as pop. James is my lead vocals and lead guitar
because I only wanted 3 members in my band because a
lot of my favorite alternative/indie rock bands only have
3 members; nirvana, green day, stereophonics, the jam
and two door cinema club. James is slightly smaller than
David and Jensen so it makes sense for me make him the
lead guitar as he wouldn’t be seen behind a drum set and
stereotypically a bass player is supposed to be slightly
bigger because a bass guitar is quite a big instrument
this is true with bands such as nirvana and band of
skulls. James’s hair is messy and he doesn’t gel or comb
it, this fits my genres stereotype and I think it will fit
with my bands look.
This is Jensen Veakins, he will be my bass player and
supporting vocals. I chose Jensen to be my bass player as
he is taller than James and David, this is good as it will
make my album cover and my poster look better as they
are not all the same height. I chose Jensen to be the bass
player of fag butts because I think his style is quite unique,
he tends not to wear branded clothing and for trousers he
wears slightly baggy chinos in a variety of different
colours. This style really suits my genre and I think it will
look good on the album cover when he stands next to
James and David, as there will be a difference of style and
height. This will show that all the band members are
unique in their own way but they are still together because
of their common interest in indie rock.
