I decided that if my chosen fictional artist, Georgia, was a current performer she would be someone like Alice Glass. Alice's style is alternative but mainly dark clothing and make-up so she incorporates some grunge items of clothing as well. Her hair is short and black with a full fringe cut just above her eyebrows; Georgia's hair is very different to this as it is short and blonde with a side fringe, however I need my artist to appear original rather than copying Alice's look so the hair differences will help.
Alice Glass is part of the band Crystal Castles, there are two members in this band, Alice and Ethan Kath. Alice is vocalist and lyricist so she is potentially the 'front man' of the duo, however Ethan takes the role of the producer so he has more to do with the creation of their tracks.
Crystal Castles have released numerous EP tracks since 2006, and have gone on to release two albums in 2008 and 2010. They are still fairly new on the music scene, and their style of music is an acquired taste; their sound is described as electronic although the lyrics and their visual style could easily be alternative/rock.
This is one of their more famous/popular songs, and the lyrics are actually distinguishable on this track, Celestica, there is also a music video to this song to show more of their style.
