Research of the genre of Alternative rock

1. ALTERNATIVE ROCK
Alternative rock is a genre of rock music that emerged from the independent music
underground of the 1980s and became widely popular by the 1990s.

2. THE MUSE
• The muse Is the band which is closes to what I want my
band to look like.
• They wear mostly black clothing and they don’t have
themselves on the front covers of their albums which is
what I like.
• Most of the photos are black and white which is due to the
atmosphere of the song. The photos are very highly
contrasted which is a thing I really like.
• They are under the sub-genre of Alternative rock
• Their locations are very different in each photograph.
They have some that are outside which makes me believe
that I could have my band outside too just the photos
would have to be very well edited and thought about the
colours in the background.

3. NIRVANA
Nirvana is was an American alternative rock band. I like their style
and the way they’re dressed. I am looking to do something like this
with my bad. However my band is going to be wearing mostly black
clothing for example black jeans and t-shirts with leather jackets.
I like the fact that this band has used a logo for their front cover and
not themselves. They have 3 band members which Is what I am
going for too.

4. COLDPLAY
Coldplay are a British rock band
formed in 1996. Their rock sub-genre
is Alternative rock which is the genre I
have picked too.
The band has 4 members. Their
appearance is very similar to what I
am going for. Their photos are mostly
black and white this is because of the
atmosphere of the songs.
I like their album covers this is
because they haven't been advertising
themselves and they have been
advertising the album.

5. LINKIN PARK
Linkin Park is an American rock band
formed in 1996. Their genre is alternative
rock .
They tend to have mostly black and white
photographs and themselves on the front
cover.
They all wear mostly black clothing which
is why I have chose my band to be wearing
the same kind of clothing.

6. FOO FIGHTERS
• Foo Fighters appereance is not exactly I want
my band to look like. However, I really like their
album covers art work. I think it goes well with
the Alternative rock genre.
• They are an American Alternative rock band, the
band was formed in 1995.

7. ARCTIC MONKEYS
• Arctic Monkeys are an English rock band formed
in 2002. The band is more Indie rock rather than
Alternative but I like their appearance and art
work for their album covers.
• Most of their stuff is black and white too.
• They wear mostly black clothing but
They are very well dressed
