Took me a second to realise that this isn’t Franz Ferdinand.

That leopard print shirts and jackets combo is :fire:

Trying to think of promo photos that are really etched on my brain and surprisingly there aren’t that many that come to mind. The Smashing Pumpkins one and NMH one are definitely up there (NMH mainly because there were so few photos of them for so long).

Kanye’s late 00s hipster 808s and Heartbreak promo is definitely iconic

Something really special about that Joy Division one.
Excuse my ignorance - who’s the chap in the leather jacket after the manics and before Moz?

All the photos from that Joy Division photo session are great.Snow everywhere and no cars or other people in sight. Ian looks a bit haunted in that photo too.
It’s Jeff Buckley in the other photo.

cheers - yeah that bleak industrial landscape feels like it’s from a completely different age. Stunning photo.

I had that Jeff Buckley one on my wall when I was a teenager, think I cut it out of Q magazine

You can tell that one from the Manics that is a cock, is a real cock.

Without meaning to take anything away from the image, I quite enjoy how your man on the left in the Joy Division one looks a bit like he’s being told off for having fun.

Totally. He’s a pretty happy guy anyway. I think it captures the individual (perceived?) personalities really well.

Yeah, it’s a very insightful (and haunting as a result) photo

Is that Everclear?

They can walk on water!

Black flag!

Can we label the act in the photo? I’m not as cool as the rest of you.

Can I nominate my old band? God knows what we were thinking…

So ridiculous it got featured on the Awkward Band and Musician Photos Facebook page…
