Was the Revolution Radio album art plagiarized?

[Doggins]

Luke from Violent Soho (Australian band) posted this on Insta. He's not complaining, but it sure is interesting

Doubt it. It's really not the most original or creative idea, a radio on fire for a band who make "rebellious" music is an idea that I'm sure has come to many people completely separately from each other over the years. Imo it's likely to be nothing but a coincidence.

[Emilie]

Yeah, back in ~2008 i had a shirt from Jay Jays that had a picture of a radio on fire. Definitely been done before Violent Soho

[Doggins]

If you look at them side by side I'm sure it's even the same Sanyo model

I already posted this - twice😬

What's more interesting is that he posts it today - maybe it's a sign😎

No I mean it's been out for awhile & we have been discussing whether this band will be GD's support in Australia

Ooooh okay  

Maybe it will be 5 Seconds of Summer though, aren't they kinda tight with the band and from Australia?

There would be riots if 5sos opened

[StuckWithDom]

I'd love to see either 5sos open or Violent soho, but it doesn't bother me because I've seen 5sos before, and I'm seeing Violent Soho next Friday

It looks hella similar. The band had a similar issue on the 21CB tour, where some of the stage art was stolen. I can't find the article though.

Green Day won that case.

Freaky... I was just talking about this half an hour ago at lunch! 

[stories and songs]

I don't think it's a very original concept to begin with, so I don't think the idea was lifted from this band.

[21guns&novacaine]

Like the others said, I feel like it's purely coincidental. Never thought RevRad's album art was too fabulously original to begin with.  

[Alan86]

When 21st Century Breakdown came out I can remember people saying the cover art was  too similar to Blur's album Think Tank. It's a just a close couple, again not a very original idea for an image, but definitely not plagerised.

Doesn't look like the same model to me.  Also, as mentioned before, they may be the same concept but the revrad version is miles better, for a start the flames actually look real.

That is because they are real.  Someone on here, I don't remember who, asked if it was a real burning radio and was told yes. He was told they burned one as a test, to get the lighting and then another for tha actual shoot

Oh yeah, I knew that (sorry I wasn't very clear).  It was more a comment on how clearly fake the non-GD one is.  I thought it was really cool the way they did it though, you get the feeling that it's real that you can't get even from the best fake flames.  Now that's proper art.
