Good Band Promo Photos - are there any?

Annoying_person [Edit] [Delete] 32 replies 17:51 September 28th, 2012

Me and my bandmate were having a giggle at our other bandmate's other band's cringeworthy photos and it got me thinking that I can't recall any shots of bands that I thought were impressive. I know a load of awful ones but can't think of any really good ones. Care to prove me wrong?

The band in question is Garbage.

Serious answer:

I always thought that The Strokes did it right with their first promo shots. It was just them sitting in a dive bar looking relaxed, with some beers in front of them. That's the way to do it I reckon.
