Anybody remember the Jackie-O Motherfucker Wire cover shot kerfuffle? I just recall there was one, no idea what the details were. Seemed like a big deal at the time though.
Anyway, nice to see Akercocke made good use of the location, needs more Scanlan though:

"We are literally wearing just t-shirts and shorts in that photo. Why does anyone care. Wait until you see the whole feature." "Why would I want to be something that I'm not," asked Power, who also directly addressed the commenter who questioned their look. "If this is how you feel about Tomb Mold after seeing what we look like, by all means, stop listening to our band," he stated, adding, "That cover photo is a completely authentic portrait of who we are. Why would you want us to be anything but? This is no judgment towards the mighty Akercocke, one of the most interesting and ambitious extreme metal bands of our time. I believe they’re just as sincere as we are."

Like I said above, if you wanna be a faceless schmuck, indie rock is right there.
but you are talking about 90s indie rock. indie rock bands now are pretty curatorial about their looks

Akercocke has had, like, fifteen members. I guess things just got too extreme for most of those dudes.

that’s a crisp clean t-shirt for a classic game. probably would command a hefty price in the vintage market if it’s official merchandise. probably a prized possession only worn for special occasions
otm. if that shirt came with a preorder for a classic PS1 game, it's way more of a flex than people might realize.
also, I dunno, tomb mold play (a now very proggy and extra-nerdy style of) death metal, right? so, aren't there tons of ancient anus.com posts from edgy black metal bands talking about how much they are/were reacting to death metal slobs in sweatpants and wearing corpsepaint and spikey wristbands and stuff to bring romanticism back to _their_ vision of metal? is this really anything new?

Based off their current promo image on Metal Archives, Akercocke has taken a page from the Tomb Mold aesthetic look book and gotten a lot more casual in how they present themselves in press photos. Though I guess they are all at least clad in black and one guy has a bullet belt.https://www.metal-archives.com/images/2/7/0/7/2707_photo.jpg

in all fairness, it's really hard to take a good band pic. it's possible that literally no good band pics exist (except for the tomb mold one).

that pic looks like they've shopped them in individually so hey
