Punk Rock album covers

These three covers from punk rock bands have connotations of rebellion and aggressiveness - associations of the punk culture. The main similarity between these three covers is the photograph of the band, standing tightly together and in a similar pose, connoting unity. The locations are all reflective of the rebellion punk culture, train track, pub and by a wall covered in graffiti, further portrayed in their distinct clothing, such as tight trousers, ripped clothes and unique hairstyles, although there is a greater sense of modernity in The Paddingtons.
The band poses are very unviting, most often standing with their hands in their pockets and not smiling, again reflecting the aggressiveness and distancing from 70's rock of the punk culture.
The title font on The Clash album cover is simple, in the style of army font anchored by 'Combat', and the title 'Combat Rock' seems to show the direct purpose of their music. The font for the Sex Pistols and The Paddingtons, however, is much bolder and stands out from the photograph, creating a contrast between the bright font colour and black and white photograph.
