Name:
The Requiem
Influences:
Slow Club, Warpaint, Yuck, Miles Kane, Arcade Fire
Music Style:
Indie/Alternative, influences of 1960's psychedelia (such as Jimi Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane and The Doors), Heavy use on guitars (both acoustic and electric)
How many members of the band?
Two - One male and one female
Roles in the band?
Female: Vocals, Guitar (acoustic and electric - depending on which song), occasional percussion piece
Male: Vocals, Guitar (focuses more on the acoustic side - however he delves more into the bass side of the strings, and he adds a bass to some tracks yet again depending on the song)
General Style?
For my models I am going to dress them in quite slick clothing with hopefully a vintage kind of twist on that. I have looked on websites such as Urban Outfitters and Topshop for the female's outfit and also for the male's, however I have also looked on vintage clothing websites to get inspiration for other pieces that hopefully I could incorporate into their style.

Magazine Name:
The name I have chosen for my magazine is 'ICONOCLAST', I chose this because of the rebellious nature behind it which I feel is what indie and alternative music is like. The word 'iconoclast' actually means:
"One who attacks and seeks to overthrow traditional or popular ideas or institutions."
I wouldn't say that I believe that this genre of music is attacking anything, however I do feel as though indie music in particular sets out to challenge the views of modern music, especially chart music. In saying that though, I did just choose the name because I was generally inspired of how I wanted my magazine to look when I heard the name. I felt as though I could just picture that on the front of a magazine and it inspired me further to do more research and planning just for myself, which will be coming up on this blog soon. I want to look at as well the other meaning behind the name; "One who destroys sacred religious images." For this I have been inspired by stained glass windows and the colour palettes normally used on them and that has also sparked new ideas in my head that I will develop in the coming weeks.
