CAT5 9075 Posted January 20, 2020 What are some of your favorite Band/Artist promotional pictures? At one point in my life, I'd damn near made a career out of sharing and uploading music (in addition to uploading artist photos to last.fm), so I basically have a lot of artist pics and album art saved that I just never got rid of. Here are a few of my favorites! THE NOVEMBERS i think i like this pic so much because it reminds me of when THE NOVEMBERS dropped "zeitgeist" and just blew all of our damn minds! Plus Kobayashi is just oozing a kind of dark, cool confidence here...it's like from this point he became an entirely new person...miles away from the average bowl-cut indie rocker he started as, haha. 9GOATS BLACK OUT Even tho I never got super deep into their music, these guys were CLASS and their aesthetics were always on point!! D'espairsRay One of my fav. Despa pics. I was with the mallgoff shitz, ahaha downy I love this pic because it speaks to their dark, sophisticated sound, but I also love it simply for the fact they actually bothered to take some nice promo pics for once in their career! J.A.M Probably not the kind of pic you'd expect from a Jazz band! コトリンゴ (Kotoringo) Suuuper pretty pic, that's as pretty as the music she makes! 赤い公園 (Akai Ko-en) Chiaki lookin all tall and sexy It's hard to go wrong with nature-dense photos, but I loove the colors here! EGO-WRAPPIN' There's a lot going on here, but this pic fit their sound so well for the time. It kinda has a cartoony/animated vibe to it. TK from 凛として時雨 (ling tosite sigure) Simple, but effective. トクマルシューゴ (Shugo Tokumaru) 青葉市子 (Ichiko Aoba) That's all for now! What are some of your favs??? 7 3 VESSMIER, platy, Jigsaw9 and 7 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

violetchain 912 Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) I tend to like promo pics that are a bit silly. This is from around when Hysteric Panic released "Cinderella Syndrome", I think. Takeshi Ueda around the release of AA='s "#5". I just realized the crown is made of copper wire, which makes it even better.

plastic_rainbow 2162 Posted January 21, 2020 love the two photos posted for 9gbo too! i went through my folder and dug out some favorites. unfortunately i didn't save everything, it's hard to find good quality pics of some of them now.... i think this is mostly the cover for their ep What is "Plastic Tree", but what the hey i love it. probably one of their most iconic photos. wish i could find it in better quality.... my favorite when i first got into them. the flowers add such a nice touch. sou just looks too adorable here and i love his scarf ;u; SCISSOR did the spooky theme so much better than Candy Spooky Theater music wise imho, and they got peculiar looks that wasn't just halloween-y Guniw Tools have a number of weird photos but i love the composition in this one so simple but very iconic at the time, i would say i'm noticing that most people are posting older photos so here's a few from more recent bands a real hard pick from the two, i had them both as my desktop wallpaper a bit too much editing on this one but still a great photo and one non-vk, from THE TEENAGE KISSERS feel like i spammed a bit too much here, haha. might post more later~ 4 1 VESSMIER, Anne Claire, monkeybanana4 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

violetchain 912 Posted January 21, 2020 I'm not sure if this was a promo shot or just a release cover, but I liked this one of The Birthday from around the release of "Piano" a lot. I like the one from around the release of "The Answer" and the matching album cover as well: 2 1 Anne Claire, plastic_rainbow and CAT5 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
