A friend read "Anarchic Angel" recently and asked me what type of rock is played by the eponymous band in the book. When I was writing I took a lot of time to research the musical storyline. It was a lot of fun building Anarchic Angel's back catalogue, which can be summarised like this:
Visuals:
I always pictured the band looking like Evanescence:
Music:
I listened to this song _a lot_ when I wrote as I thought if the band had a sound, this song by Melissa Auf Der Maur encapsulated it. Shame the video is so cheesy!
Lyrics:
To my mind, no-one captures teen angst quite like Linkin Park does in this song...
Linkin Park-Numb by pghj2005
Man, how I <3 rock 'n' roll.... and love writing for letting me live precariously through my characters!
Rock on you crazy diamonds! \m/
What a great idea for a post! And such fun to hear and see AA as you pictured it. I definitely see a lot of this in the book, especially Evanescene's mood / visuals.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anne! I'm glad you were able to see the influences in the book :-)
