* Ben Sergeant and his band in ''[[Tamara Drewe]]''.
* Aldous Snow in ''[[Forgetting Sarah Marshall]]'' and ''[[Get Him to The Greek]]''. Snow is interesting in that he combines [[Exaggerated Trope|exaggeration]], [[Subverted Trope|subversion]], and [[Self-Parody]]:

* In the final season of ''[[
** An early episode had Maya interview a famous British rocker whose big hit was called "Nina in the Cantina". Everyone, including Nina, assumes the song is about her, but when the two meet, he doesn't have any idea who Nina is.

* ''[[WKRP in Cincinnati]]'' had an early episode where the station sponsored a concert with the British band, Scum of the Earth, who stress that they specialize in ''Hoodlum Rock''. The difference from Punk Rock is that they dress in fine suits and ties, speak in erudite English and gleefully commit violent crimes on everyone, including their fans, whenever possible.

** ''[[Vidoegame/Grand Theft Auto Liberty City Stories|Liberty City Stories]]'' has Crow, an ahead-of-his-time, egotistical humanitarian crusader.
* ''[[Vidoegame/Dead Rising 2|Dead Rising 2]]'' has heavy rockers named Jeanna Slick, Floyd Stone, and Allen Ash who are members of the band Angel Lust. The trio mistook the zombie horde for fans. Well it's not that much of a stretch to be fair. They had such lines as "Oi mate get off the bloody stage" and "Zombies? Blimey!" They even destroy a crowd of zombies through the Power of Rock.
