Similar Artists
In this post I explore similar artists to The Neighbourhood and the music videos that they create and marketing techniques they use to promote their work.
1. Arctic Monkeys
Arctic Monkeys are an English rock band formed in 2002 in High Green, a suburb of Sheffield. They have released 5 studio albums and 1 live album. Their debut album is the fastest-selling debut album by a band in British chart history, and in 2013, Rolling Stone ranked it the 30th-greatest debut album of all time. Arctic Monkeys were heralded as one of the first bands to come to public attention via the Internet, with commentators suggesting they represented the possibility of a change in the way in which new bands are promoted and marketed. The band have been catagorised as Indie Rock, Garage Rock and Post-Punk Revival. Songs such as "Fluorescent Adolescent" and "Do Me a Favour" explore themes of failed relationships, nostalgia and growing old. The music video for "Why'd you only call me when you're high?" uses unique and alternative shots such as mid over-the-shoulder shots in mirrors, distorted image and a nightime urban setting. This appeals to a young, alternative audience as it embodies a nightlife and drug theme.
2. The 1975
The 1975 are an English rock band orignating from Manchester. Following the release of four EPs, their self-titled debut album was released on 2 September 2013, topping the UK album charts. Their second album I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful yet So Unaware of It, released on 26 February 2016, also topped both the UK Chart. In 2017, the band won the Brit Award for Best British Group. Scott Kerr of AllMusic wrote that the band combined "the dark and youthful themes of sex, love, and fear with ethereal alt-rock music." The bands lead vocalist, Matty Healy specifically cites Talking Heads, My Bloody Valentine, and Michael Jackson as musical influences; he states that his greatest influence is the oeuvre of filmmaker John Hughes. Critics at Pitchfork have favourably compared them to The Big Pink.[12] Sex EP was described by Paste as "equal parts ethereal and synth pop", with "haunting" and "smooth" vocals. Healy has stated that their influence is "heavily rooted" in Black American music. The music video for "Somebody else" also incooperates an urban setting and an interesting take on lighting, giving The 1975 a distinctive vibe, making them interesting and appealing to audeinces.
3. Foster the People
Foster the People is an American indie pop band formed in Los Angeles, California in 2009. After releasing their debut album Torches in May 2011, "Pumped Up Kicks" became a crossover hit on commercial radio in mid-2011 and eventually reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100. The music Foster wrote spanned a wide range of genres, but he had difficulty reconciling his eclectic compositions. He explained: "I'd write one song and it'd be a hip-hop song. I'd write another and it'd be heavily electronic. Another would be like a spiritual, and another would be classic piano song. I was constantly trying to pull those elements together. It took me six years to do it."
