These bands/artists are all representative OF THE GENRE – AND SUBGENRES – THAT I WOULD LIKE TO EMULATE AND DISPLAY IN MY MUSIC MAGAZINE. THEY EMBODY TYPICAL VALUES OF INDIE ROCK ARTISTS/BANDS, IN BOTH THE STYLE OF THEIR MUSIC, THE WAY THEY PRESENT THEMSELVES, AND THEIR OVERALL FASHION. FURTHERMORE, SOME OF THESE SELECTIONS ACTUALLY DRIFT SLIGHTLY FROM THE FIXED CONVENTIONS OF INDIE ROCK MUSIC, WITH ARTISTS SUCH AS GRIMES ADVOCATING DARK WAVE/ELECTRONIC ROCK AND TAME IMPALA DISPLAYING ASPECTS OF PSYCHEDELIC INDIE ROCK. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE REASON I HAVE INCLUDED THESE OSCILLATING SUBGENRES IS BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT MY MAGAZINE TO BE FIXED IN TYPICAL INDIE ROCK TRADITIONS, LIKE MOJO OR NME USED TO BE – ALTHOUGH IT WILL BE LARGELY SO AND ALSO FEATURE A SELECTED VARIETY OF MAINSTREAM INDIE ROCK BANDS. AS CAN BE SEEN IN THE SELECTION OF BANDS/ARTISTS SHOWN, the magazine focuses on music both old, classic, and new and upcoming, ranging from the late 60s with the who all the way up to 2013 with artists such as arcade fire and arctic monkeys. Evidently, i want the magazine to shown these varieties in both music period and genre in order to attract a larger readership and expand the parameters of the typical target audience. There will be interviews with many of these current bands, feature articles and anniversary celebrations of classic disbanded bands, and a ‘mixed’ section to compliment other, more discrete subgenres of indie rock, which will feature bjork, grimes, and the antlers, amongst many others.
