The Vaccines song 'Wreckin Bar' is the song I have for my music video, so their magazine adverts are influential to my project. Immediately you recognize the the unusual background. The colour pink is not normally associated with Indie music, so it catches the readers attention instantly. The colour pink highlights femininity, therefore perhaps The Vaccines are attempting to gain a wider audience than the typical Indie fan. However, the quirky nature of The Vaccines demonstrates the colour pink. "What Did You Expect From The Vaccines?" is the name of the album they are intending on promoting, and this is the bands ironic and almost rhetorical approach to the colour pink. The girl in the background looks enticing and this will attract a male gaze.
Coldplay are a similar indie band to The Vaccines. There success is due to their iconic style of music and this is emphasised through this advert. The random selection of graffiti and bright colours suggest this album is going to be very different to the plain album covers they have had before such as 'Parachutes'. The bubble writing is hard to distinguish due to the distorted background and this grabs the reader as they attempt to uncover the almost cryptic language. It is evident that Coldplay want the audience to see that this album is different to the rest as it is so different. The release date is clear as well as a quote from the artist describing the new album.
The Foo Fighters are a popular rock band that have had immense success. Their magazine advert for their 'Greatest Hits' album is very simplistic. Due to their success their logo and name are well known so they do not need to promote themselves as much as other bands. The colour red is bright and majestic, signifying they are coming to the end of their career and releasing their 'greatest' songs from their 'reign'.
