R+P Post 16: My Band or Artist

After much deliberation we have decided upon the multiple representations for our band.

Our band will be called 'Come What May', which was devised from a British idiom that describes an acceptance of the future and fate. We felt this was a strongly significant message for our band to promote, due to the naturalistic, refreshing and slightly counter-culture approach to the world. Furthermore, we feel these semiotics will be easily marketable to create an effective appeal to alternative music fans. In addition we also liked the abbreviation potential of the name, much like other successful rock bands such as 'Black Veil Brides' and 'Sleeping With Sirens'.

Our artist will be a post-indie, alternative rock band that prides themselves in their love for music and the enjoyment they experience when playing as a band. 'Come What May' will include a male lead vocalist, two female guitarist and a male drummer. As one can see, we have carefully constructed a strong gender balance, in order to ensure the whole target audience is met. The band will hold post-modernist views and will encourage their audiences to question the mainstream without being anti-establishment. This is a concept that is becoming increasingly common and we feel it would be a very effective branding technique. Moreover, we feel that the band should hold strong values on equality and promote feminist values without making the girls in the group seem like token girls or just one of the guys.

Below I created a diagram depicting a visual illustration of each band member through inspiration and influence from other, similar groups.
