Blink-182 is a well-known pop-punk band from San Diego, California formed in 1992. With vocalists Tom Delonge and Mark Hoppus contributing different styles, and drummer Travis Barker, one of the best drummers in the world, their music has pace and professionalism. They have created some iconic songs over their career. The band presents an image of equality, with members standing side by side rather than in stereotypical rock band poses.

2. Blink 182 are a well known ‘pop-punk’ band
originating from San Diego California. With Tom
Delonge and Mark Hoppus both singing lead
vocals, they both add a whole different feel to
the pop-punk genre. Also with pro drummer
Travis Barker, who covers nearly every song
known, who is also number twenty-odd best
drummer in the world, their music really has
pace and professionalism. They’ve been known
since 1992, and since then have created some
epic songs, some of them world known…literally.
What I like about Blink-182 is that in their
photos there is no stereotype of power. They
most usually in modern photo shoots stand side
by side to show equality. For example, lead
singer and bass guitarist Mark Hoppus is closest
to the floor, and the drummer is half way. This
surely destroys the usual stereotype.

3. BLINK-182 may not seem to take their
band or music seriously. But it is totally
the opposite. They create a laid back sort
of feel, with “I DON’T CARE” screaming
out at you, or indeed something along
those lines.
They are made to look like big kids, like
immaturity, messing around and the
attributes a child may possess. Infact,
they even wrote a song about it:
Blink 182 What's my age again, originally
called Peter Pan Complex which is a term
used to describe an adult who is socially
immature.

4. A Day To Remember is another American rock band known for
their metalcore/punk rock genres. Their created genre opens a
whole new era for music, hence a great inspiration.
In both of the pictures present, the lead singer is obviously
standing out, in the first, he is the man in the middle with the light
coloured top. He might not be the tallest character, but his status
is heightened, simply because he is in the middle.
In the second picture, it may not be clear to some. The band
appear to be fighting, creating a more “hard” sort of brutal look.
The band members seem to be all over the place, and the lead
singer is not at the front, however, he is still clearly shown, as he
is the only one looking straight at the camera pulling a sort of
‘growling’ type face.
The band, even though attempting to look more hardened, wear
light coloured tops, making them stand out more of photos and
showing they don’t necessarily follow any fashion, however they
always wear dark pants of some kind, pulling them back into the
darker side of music.

5. ALEXISONFIRE is a post-hardcore
band also from America. Like A Day To
Remember, they mix in many different
genres into their music, like punk rock
and hardcore for example. In-fact, I
have placed a music video by them on
my Blog. The bands appearance is
similar to A Day To Remember! The
lead singer is in the middle with his
tattoo’s on show. Tattoo’s bring more of
a rebellious look to a band, and in some
places is associated with “roughness”.
Another awesome band for tattoo’s
has to be Dead By April shown left.
Again the tattoo’s symbolize brutality

6. • My band will be so similar to the bands I have
explained, with Blink-182’s immaturity, A Day
To Remembers hardness and fashion, and
AlexisOnFire’s and Dead by April’s tattoos and
part fashion.

8. I have created four album covers for my created band “face
down nothing”. The one directly right, is a design my by
brother (a former tattoo artist), but it is unfinished, hence the
album name. The two directly below are showing the bands
more serious side, showing their professionalism etc. And
finally the cover bottom right is showing that the band can be
funny, basically showing their immaturity.
