My #1 resource for how-to is : Google

Also, you might check out places like deviantart.com

This guy has a decent tutorial (link)

The best way to learn is to use the software. Get some pictures of your band and some cool designs and just play around for 10-15 hours. You will find a lot of videos on youtube and other similar sites that could help inspire you.

Hi MrSuccess,

Also have a look at the Graphic Design Resource Links here on Geeks2Go. There are some awesome links in there that cover all bases. Among those you're bound to find something helpful.

Usually you can find a bunch of Tutorials on You Tube.
I'm a visual person, so I find tutorials on You Tube are typically helpful.
