By looking at www.bedouinsoundclash.com my first impression of the target audience is definately young people, that like band/instrumentaly produced music, perhaps playing instruments themselves, but also enjoying more upbeat synthasises music. The website features many photos of the band with thier instruments, and has a very relaxed feel to it. For instance the background picture is a tree which signifies calmness and gives and represents the more chilled out reggae/alternative rock music that appeals to "indie" people that follow local band and may be in a band themselves.
The language used on the website is very colloquial and snappy; "at the show", "you and the band" which gives the band the image of a fast paced lifestyle which helps target its younger audeince who have most probably/would like to adapt this lifestyle aswell.
In terms of socio-economics Bedouin Soundclash's target audeince fall into bands D and E, involving semi skilled and casual labourers such as waiters and shopworkers. This is because this is the type of job that many of the young fans will have, most probably only part time as they are still in education, meaning that they will probably live with thier parents and have lots of disposable income to spend on music, and lots of free time to listen to a wide range of music, compared to others thier age (16-24).
Bedouin Soundclash featured on the front cover of Chart music magazine in 2005. The Chart music magazine also has many signifiers that it is directed at a similar, young regae/alternative audience. This is shown by many different font colours such as yellow, red and white, with a picture of the band standing in the background wearing alternative clothing, such as trilbies and casual waistecoats similar to what thier target audience would wear.
Chart Magazine (www.Chartattack.com/magazine)describes itself as a "youth culture provider", suggesting that the magazines target audeince is young people that are highly interested in "youth culture", with one of the main things being music, suggesting that the target audience to Chart, and therefore Bedouin Soundclash are young people who have a very strong interest in music, perhaps more so then the "average teen".
