Your Illuminations are a North Yorkshire based band who once functioned with three members until a fourth member joined in 2016 - Anthony. More so than alternative rock they come under the distinctive bracket of 'punk-rock' in some sense. Yet the connotations of this genre to the one we aimed to focus upon are widely similar and show a distinct focus on the music and the band members themselves alongside the effective use of narrative in order to display an image within the lyrics.
With a number of tour dates under their belts they are in the prime stage of striving towards popularity. Their love of music drives their passion for success and aim to make use of local media students and mutual friends in order to create their aesthetic.
'With a debut EP on the horizon and their eyes set firmly on the echelons of rock history, it seems the sky's the limit for Y.I'
Their effective use of social media such as Facebook and Instagram allow for them to build up their following and therefore encourages further interest to surround the band. Their aesthetic and desired image is distinctively shown throughout the images and videos they put out to their followers. This is a common convention of this type of genre as it allows for a unique image to be created without danger of cliche and somewhat unimaginative mainstream image.
