In this article the journalist interviews the band and what they have taken part in recently. There are no obvious indications that this article contains an interview, instead the reader could read through the article to find out where the questions and answers are. The interview is quite formal and it differs from informal interviews of back and forth questions and answers as seen in some teen magazines, this is appropriate for the target audience and the theme+layout of the magazine.

A short quote as a catch phrase is boldly written as the title of the interview, this draws attention to the content below it and encourages readers to read due to the recognition of a popular band name as Kings of Leon’s, this appeals to the audience of the magazine because they recognise the bands referred to in the magazine and feel as if they connect well to the magazine more.

The language is kept simple and easy to understand, it is not entirely formal, yet it is not informal either. This is done by the magazine on purpose so that more readers find the magazine’s content appealing instead of alienating more and more readers by using a complex vocabulary.

The back and forth questions and answers are on the right ride column. After an introduction to the article, the interview begins and is kept very discrete, the questions are quite formal and long and the answers balance with the questions by being just as formal and long.

Eg. “ So your mission is to ape Kings of Leon’s ascent to the top of the rock pile? Is that not somewhat cynical approach to success?

The answer to this question is long and the actions of the band members are being described

The language is not as formal and this is shown in the part where one of the band members swears, this shows how comfortable and maybe not formal the interview is. It shows that the members of the audience may be people who are not as sensitive to obscene language.
