I like the expression this gives, my only concern is that nothing connects with anything else. the guy with the guitar only partially interacts with the wall, the wall only fills the poster partially, and with the frame it looks unrealistic. The text doesn't interact with the white labels they should be on, they ignore them and fight with them. The mix between caps and no-caps are frustrating and makes the text less readable (which means death for a musical poster). Also, listen to what Gino said about hierarchy.

(I'm gonna be known on this forum as the cranky and negative one ain't I? :P)

Lastly, I think you missed the indie-feel. This feels more punk because it's so gritty, and because of your colour-scheme. Try introducing a colour or two, maybe?
That's the kind of response I love to see I'll take these things into consideration when I make modifications. I've changed my design style a lot since then. I had a tendency to just design and not consider the reasoning behind the design or how it will work with the reader.

Yeh haha, numbers don't help me out with the design. I'd like to know how I could go from 7 to a 9 or 10.

Thanks for your input as well Gino. There is quite a lot I need to consider with this design.
