Changing artists..

One of the main reasons that a music artist will change their style/ appearance is because of a changing target audience previously discussed with the band 'Paramore'. However some bands such as McFly have changed because of their own personal attitude to their present style.





McFly started off as a support band for a  similar but slightly more edgy band Busted, this was the basis of a platform which enabled them to survive successfully in the music industry with the album 'Room on the Third Floor' in 2004 going straight to number one in the charts making a new record for the youngest band to have a number one album!


From this in 2004 to...

This album also included many number one hits such as, 'Five Colours in Her Hair', 'Obviously' and 'That Girl'.

They had success at the Brit Awards winning Best Pop Award, and later that year they released a charity single, 'All About You'.

Over the years the band has been in and out of the record label Island Records to set up their own record label 'Super Records' were they self released the album Radio:Active.

Soon they left their adolescent pop-punk sound of previous records and embraced a pop style which they still hold their today.

This in 2012!

There is a noticeable difference between their music video styles as well.
One of their earlier songs 'Five Colours in Her Hair' shows there slightly pop-punk style with very styled hair with gel and bright colours reflecting their colourful and almost eccentric lifestyle as teenagers.

It demonstrates a performance based music video showing their young teenage attitude. With bright colours and almost comic look to the beginning to show their young nature.

Nowadays they have gone for the classy look with a very structured look to the music video. There are still elements of performance within the music video however it is a lot more serious and 'proffessional' looking as if they are taking their music career a lot more seriously now.
