Music Magazine research- doube page spread of NME

Since the 1960's NME magazine has championed new British group, from The Beatles to The Rolling Stones. During the 70s and 80s, it moved through rock and punk music. This changed in the 90s as it started reporting about new indie bands. But the audience wnated to know about music from 'over the pond' so it introduced American artists that were new on the scene, such as Nirvana and Pearl Jam, also known as grunge acts. During the mid-90s it transitioned to Brtit-pop and the infamous war between Blur and Oasis. Nowadays, it focuses on new UK artists. In reality, it tries to follow the trend of music depending on the era.

This ideology is reflected throughout the magazine's interviews and features. This double-page spread is of Late Of The Pier, who are a relatively unknown British band who are in the dance-punk genre. This fits in with the ideology because NME focuses on new genres such as dance music. Also, the props and lighting used in the shot shows that the band may have an electro feel to them.
