This music magazine feature focuses on Biffy Clyro, a mediocre Scottish rock band. The entire interview is focused around the bands on-going tour of Iceland and this mainly highlighted by the picture, of Simon Neil, the lead singer, bathing in Iceland’s volcanic Blue Lagoon.
There are two pulled quotes, one reading ‘they eat rotten shark- Biffy Clyro’s guide to Iceland’ which relates to the theme of the feature, and will draw readers in because of its unusual statement. The feature has one main image which takes up more than half the page. The lead singer’s tattoos and ‘wild’ style are highlighted. He is staring directly at the camera which acts as a way of drawing the reader in- it is as if he is looking directly at you. The feature seems to be written on the assumption that the reader knows the band and their songs well as the main quote reads ‘It’s scary that anyone who’s listened to puzzle knows what I was going through.’
Each paragraph has a drop cap of the first two words and this engages the reader further with the actual content of the interview, again a way of ensuring they read the whole article. The feature is definitely coherent with the front cover of the magazine as a very similar image is seen on the front, except of the whole band, not just the lead singer.
