According to ‘Alive Network,’ a band’s strong image is important because it makes you distinct: you stand out from your competitors and your potential audience then immediately knows what you’re all about.

Meanwhile, it’s not a sin to care about your image. Sure, music’s at the heart of what you do, but it doesn’t mean that you can’t look like a pro, too. Think of it as creating an image of trustworthiness that can help your work get noticed and shine brighter. And, remembering the halo effect, it’s not a bad idea to take a bit of time polishing up your image, so long as you don’t obsess over it.

‘Musician on a Mission’ notes that you should strive to find a genre that “feels most natural to all your bandmates.” In essence, what you want is to make sure that the entire band is enjoying themselves while also avoiding a mish-mash of genres that might get lost among the noise. Ideally, your band’s photo should reflect your influences, mission, and the idea lying at the core of your music.
