Indie Rock - List of Artists and Bands (Iconography)

Kasabian

The style that Kasabian choose to take varies a lot, but here we can see all members of the band wearing skinny jeans and boots. They are also all seen to be wearing an over coat of some form. i.e. blazer, jacket, leather jacket and an open front shirt.

Foo Fighters

This picture shows the Foo Fighters to be wearing fairly ordinary clothing, although it could be seen as being slightly dressy. Three of the band members are wearing shirts over their tops and one of the band members is wearing a bright red top. The colour range of the band ranges across a spectrum of dark colours. 

Klaxons

This image of the Klaxons shows them wearing bright clothing. Once again, two members of the band are wearing some form of overcoat. A notable aspect of this picture is the hairstyle of the band's frontman, which is quite scruffy and out of place.

 The Libertines

This picture of The Libertines shows two members of the band wearing coats of the Queen's guard as an ironic statement because they were known for being involved in minor misdemeanours, which also contrasts with the ripped jeans that one of them is wearing.

The Smiths

The clothing in this picture of The Smiths shows them wearing shirts and black jeans. Their style is much more formal than most Indie bands but their hairstyles remain similar to more modern examples. 

Nirvana

The image shown puts the band members in three very different outfits, which contrasts widely with other Indie bands. Kurt Cobain on the far left is wearing a shirt over a top, with belted up jeans, whilst holding a glass of wine. The man in the middle wears a black top with white trousers/jeans and Dave Grohl on the right is wearing dungarees which are commonly associated with the deep south of America where as the other clothing is associated with the rest of North America. 

Arctic Monkeys

The clothing worn by the Arctic Monkeys tends to be fairly up market clothing but it ranges in style. For example the lead singer wears a bright yellow jacket but the drummer wears a checked blue and white jacket. While the lead singer and drummer have similar styles of hair, the guitarist and bassist both have different hairstyles to this, one having long hair and the other having shorter hair.
