Our group then assigned 3 of the bands shown on Starfish's website to research in more detail.
The Killers
The Killers are an American rock band from Las Vegas, Nevada, formed in 2001. The band consists of Brandon Flowers (vocals, keyboards), Dave Keuning (guitar, backing vocals), Mark Stoermer (bass guitar, backing vocals) and Ronnie Vannucci Jr. (drums, percussion).
Seeing as The Killers are an alternative rock band, they draw some of their influences from the style of music of the 1980's.
The band has sold over 6 million albums in the United States, over 5 million albums in the United Kingdom and over 15 million worldwide.
Their music videos mainly consist of the main singer, with some sort of weird twist, the lead singer is often shown is a place that doesn't always relate to the lyrics of the song, making their style of music video very unique.
Katy Perry
Katheryn Elizabeth Brand (born October 25, 1984), better known by her stage name Katy Perry, is an American musician. Born in Santa Barbara, California. Katy grew up listening and singing gospel music at her local church, making Perry a strange influence for a rock band such as Starfish.
She has since become well recognised for having an unconventional style of dress and often combines bold colors and vintage fashion. This unique style is definitely apparent in her music videos, which seems to be a theme when it come to band preference.
New Found Glory
New Found Glory, an American pop punk band from Coral Springs, Florida, formed in 1997. Founding members were lead vocalist Jordan Pundik, guitarists Chad Gilbert and Steve Klein, bassist Ian Grushka and drummer Joe Moreno. The current drummer Cyrus Bolooki replaced Moreno after only a handful of shows and the lineup has since remained unchanged. Their music is drawn from influences such as Green Day, to hardcore acts like Hatebreed and Madball. This band are much closer to the style of Starfish. New Found Glory are also recognised for for their energetic live performances.
