Let me set the scene, it's a chilly afternoon in the middle of January and a group of four are huddled brainstorming band name ideas. As a band we decided on the name 'The Bikelocks' this is because the song which we are creating a music video for is 'Stuck in the Middle with You' by 'Stealers Wheel', obviously as we don't want anyone to steal our wheels so of course therefore need locks for our bikes.
Hence why in our logo the man is wearing a bicycle helmet. The logo started out with a child wearing the helmet and we collaborated over messages working with every hair to come to the final design. The guy has evolved from a child to what we believe is our typical audience but also a representation of what we believe our music is. 'Stealers Wheel' are a rock, folk and indie band but we believe the long hair and beard is a stereotypical view of these genres. The indie and hipster feel is reinstated by the glasses which are of a style that is typical among these groups. We feel that the drawn style also has an 'indie' style which suits our band.
