About the Front Cover

Though I haven't decided a final name for the issue of my issue, I have a few from which I have to finalize one.
" GRUNGE IS (NOT) DEAD"
" Grunge; The Ultimate Experience"
" MADLOCK: and how Paki Metal is rising up"
" Come As They Are...Here"
"  The Three Lahori Punks"
" The Louder;The Better"
" Aggression , Leather & Rock N Roll "

All of the names above are in relevance to the band that will be on the front cover and how active they are. In the past 2 months they've done done 5 gigs in Lahore; and one in Islamabad.
However, with the kind of Grunge rock sound that the band has, it is really difficult to settle on one look for the band. Leather jackets would preferably go really well with the band image, but then again, on the other hand , denim jackets and flannels would fit in just as good. Ripped jeans in blue or black color should really add a typical rebel young mans image. The front-man of the band should be standing at the front whereas the bassist and the guitarist should stand respectively on left and right; a little steps behind the front-man. Their guitars and amp should be placed somewhere at the back, not focused on much, but visible. Since they have long hair,it should be roughly set, and in front of their face, which is a very typical style of every rock artist. Their faces should either be straight, or we will have to make them pose as they're screaming. It would also be interesting if the band just is goofing around with each other ; which happened in a lot of front covers that featured Nirvana because it gave a certain image about the artists on how they do whatever they want and coudnt care less about their front image, which is a very Rock musician thing to do.
I will further be throwing in more ideas until the thing is final.
