30 Seconds to Mars are very inspiring to me because Jared Leto often directs a lot of the videos, or helps to, and the concepts are often quite odd, as with 'Up in the air', 'The Kill' and 'From Yesterday'.
I like the way they are styled and their energy on stage. Jared Leto has also shown that he can act as well, in 'Dallas Buyers' Club', a film that demonstrated the effect of homophobia and also the profit-driven approach to finding a cure to HIV/AIDS in the 1980s.
Their songs usually tackle quite big topics, or act as inspiration, i.e. 'Do or Die' is about living life no matter what, while the video also goes through interviews of how much 30STM have helped people's lives. I admire this approach to their fans, attempting to interact with as many as possible and creating music that helps people in some way. The continuous creation of this type of music, meeting the needs of relationship or identity, allow 30STM to maintain their current fan-base as well as gain more fans who will also build a relationship with the band's music.

You Me At Six
You Me At Six would be an influence on the performance aspects of my video, because they use a lot of body movement during their performances, the lead singer using the stage a lot, while the guitarists and drummers move around stage less but use more vigorous body movements while playing their instruments.
