Potential Bands to Inspire My Magazine

Below is a list of bands I would want my magazine to include. A problem I face though, is choosing which bands, as there are different genres, due to the fact I like a lot of different music, from different times. I also like artists such as Metallica and Black Sabbath, but I'm trying to narrow the genres down.


30 Seconds To Mars        You Me At Six                 My Chemical Romance
Sex Pistols                      Nirvana                   HIM
Green Day                       The Used                Red Hot Chili Peppers
The Cure                         CKY                       Silverstein

The Smiths                      The Ramones           Bob Dylan
Jimi Hendrix                     Jeff Buckley             The Clash  
The Jam                          Pink Floyd               Guns N' Roses
The White Stripes             The Stranglers         Adam and the Ants
System of a Down             The Beatles             A Day To Remember

  1. Ella, you can name drop these bands in your magazine but you are going to need to invent a band for your magazine as you're going to need to take photos and invent an interview.

    Stylistically that is quite a spread of bands but certain songs by them will link (Helter Skelter by the Beatles for example is very heavy for the beatles, as is eternal life by Jeff Buckley, Knockin' on Heavens door by Dylan links to GnR, How Soon Is Now by the Smiths etc. The Ramones did baby I love you for heavens sake) so they could be mentioned in the interview as inspiration for your fictional band.

  2. Yeah I know, did I not mention that I was thinking of Frozen Embryos for the band name?
    Okey pokey.. better jot all of this down. Sad face.

  3. Ella, I would think again about Frozen Embryos as a band name, it's a tad emotive and unlikely to appeal to a broad audience. The band names above are fairly banal (with the exception of the Stranglers and Green Day), you can create a band and album without thinking by using wikipedias random page generator. Go to “Wikipedia.” Hit “random” and the first article you get is the name of your band. Then go to “Random Quotations” (on random quotes web page) and the last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.

    I just got 'Love The Sinner' - 'Interesting people are missing'.
