Band Name

Another Group meeting was organised for us to Gather ideas on band names.

We came up with the idea that the main girls name of the group should be 'honey'. Initially we liked 'honey and the libertines'. However there is already a band called 'The Libertines' therefore we dealt that if we were trying to establish ourselves as a new band we would not want to confuse our target audience between the two bands.

Therefore we looked up synonyms of Libertines as it means 'rebelious' which we liked as it was a juxtaposition between honey which symbolises sweetness and smoothness with rebellious which symbolises possible darkness and violence, the opposition also ties into the message of our video a contrast of good times (high key lighting, natural settings, sweet/ innocent dress), and the bad times (low key lighting, urban settings, dark clothing and connotations of destructive relationships).

Synonyms of libertines or rebellious:

1. Harlot
2. Little virtues
3. Loose morals
4. Anarchist
5. Radical
6. Resistant
7. Restless
8. Revolutionary
9. Turbulent
10. Ungovernable
11. Unruly
12. Warring

We particulry liked anarchist as it has the word 'kiss' again contrasting rebellious with sweetness, also adding sexuality to the group which will be necessary to appeal to the target audience of indie rock/ soul music, particularly as we have a lead female singer (see mood board for more details on sexuality of women in the media).
