The name of the band is Rudimental. The band consists of Piers Agget, Amir Amor, Kesi Dryden and DJ Locksmith. This connotes something to do with music as rudimental means ‘involving or limited to basic principles’ e.g. "rudimental music reading skills" this connotes that they are a band that use instruments to create their skilful drum and bass music.The font is best described as block capitals with a text box around it. It looks like a kind of stamp, this font is signifies them as a drum and bass band. The dominant image is a poster on the street which consists of lots of music instruments and people which suggests that they use a lot of instruments in to music and they’re expressing the skill that they have. The image is also on a street which relates to the album title which is ‘home’. The title is ‘home’ which signifies that this album music has something to do with the artist’s home or childhood. Dominant colours include bright vibrant colours on the poster and blue, grey, dull colours in the rest of the covers photograph. These connote that maybe their childhood wasn’t the greatest as it is really dull and eerie and they have come back home to perform and the poster on the building shows how much further they have come. The record label they are signed to is Asylum Records and independent label Black Butter. The artist fits in the genre of drum and bass this is signified by the urban photography which is featured on their album cover as drum and bass is quite a new urban genre. The target audience for this genre is drum and bass fans which mainly consist of young people as the music is quite loud. As Dubstep do a lot of drum and bass remixes, their fans could also be fans of Rudimental’s drum and bass music. The cover is appealing to this audience because the photography is very urban and the back looks like it’s on some sort of concrete which has been graffiti on and graffiti is related with young people and this may appeal to them more. Attitudes and values which are associated with this genre are loud music, partying and dancing.
