'The Pigeon Detectives' Homepage Analysis - How are webpage conventions used?

The homepage uses audio/sound, links, and logo mostly-as you have a youtube clip that the viewer can watch and listen to, a series of links to popular networking websites, and the bands logo branded across the top of the page. The youtube clip makes the homepage a bit more interactive, and interesting; instead of there just being, their logo, a picture and some links. Their use of links is what really helps to target their audience, as they have obviously tapped into what websites their fans spend most of their time using, and then catered for them by making their favourite websites easily accessible. The logo is simplistically used and put across the top of their page so it is clear who's website it is, and also so the logo is instantly recognisable to the viewers of the website. In comparison to 'The Macabees' homepage, which i believed was very innovative and extremely engaging, this website is seen to be very generic and it really doesnt set itself apart from the rest. They haven't creatively experimented or really thought about using conventions of a webpage in a more captivating way, whereas 'The Macabees' clearly have with their simple yet effective homepage. 'The Pigeon Detectives' page is quite boring, and just like any other band's homepage of the same genre, although they have interested their audience with the unseen, exclusive footage of the band, that seems to be the only remotely enthralling element of their homepage.
