My first chosen similar text is Scandal.
Scandalスキャンダル is a Japanese pop/rock girl band. Proclaiming themselves as "The Most Powerful Japanese Girlie Pop Rock", they are composed of four high school girls from Osaka, Japan: Haruna Ono, Tomomi Ogawa, Mami Sasazaki, and Rina Suzuki. Scandal is very energetic, mostly because Ono, the eldest and leader of the band, shares lead vocals with the other three members, in order to not have a focus on one girl in particular and to give each time in the limelight.
An interesting note about the group is the unique way in which they chose to promote themselves. Since they are fans of Japanese animation and manga, they wanted to be represented in animated form, turning each member into an animated character. The animated Scandal is featured on a series of promotional videos on the band's website. (wikipedia )

I feel that this girl band is very much like the artists we are trying to portray in our music video.
We have many things in common ;
Both a four girl band
both students
Both in the pop/rock genre
Both play instruments
Here is a video of theirs o give you a little taste of what they are about
What I like about them and how they relate to the band we are trying to create
Second Similar text is a girl band called Vixen
Vixen, one of the most successful female rock bands in the world, produced massive hits like “Edge of a Broken Heart” and “Cryin’” securing their position in the rock charts – including 4 singles in Billboard’s Hot 100. Vixen has reappeared with two new albums, a delicate explosion of new talent and passionate forces, producing a new sound while staying true to their roots.
They are a typical rock and roll band with the big hair and leather.
I would have loved to create a band like this as I love 80's music. However we have to create a band that a 21st century audience of teenagers can relate to in order to be successful.
Their very first album was released in 1988 and is called 'Vixen'
here is the cover
They are very different from Scandal as they are an older and emerged closer to the beginning of the rock period. They were a very successful band.
Although they are not exactly the same as the band we are trying to create, they still follow the general codes and conventions of a rock girl band and this is why I chose them.
Here is the video for the single 'Edge of a broken heart' from their first album.
