R+P Post 16: My Band or Artist

Our band is called Come What May, a British idiom that describes an acceptance to fate. We all agreed that this name was the most suitable for our band as the most prominent value we want to express is the unity between the members of our band and their passion for music in both the present and future. We felt that this was a very strong and significant message for our band to promote, and we will create a slightly counter-culture approach to the world in their image. Furthermore, we feel these attitudes and values will be exceptionally appealing to fans of Rock music.

Our artist will be an 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 guitarists and a male drummer in order to ensure the whole target audience is addressed by the gender balance. The band will hold post-modernist views and will encourage their audiences to question the mainstream, a concept that we will utilise as a branding technique.

Below are some of our influences:

The Arctic Monkeys

Paramore

Orianthi
