Band Names

[Alex]

If you were to have a musical act,
what would you call it?

Alternatively, what are your favorite/least favorite band names?

Alternatively alternatively, can you guys just spit out a bunch of nonsense to inspire me?

Re: Band Names

Me and my friends have several not serious bands that are like part of our inside humor.

Washington DC Threat (punk band) (I'm Anus Scott)
Lord Terminator & DJ Potbelly Funk (hip group)
Onachvs (death metal) (I'm Demon Cough)
Power Fist
Baby Love (boy band) (my name in the band is Sin Daddy)
Porco (Matt's solo stuff)
Slum Narcotics (sludgy pop)
Blood Spit & Finnegan (indie folk duo)

Re: Band Names

Meant for song titles, but it could work for band names too.


Guided by Voices has some of the best song titles in the history of recorded music. Don't believe me? Check out their discography (if you want to take a good chunk of time out of your busy day...Bob Pollard has apparently written over 1000 songs). I'm partial to the songs/song titles of their mid-period stuff (Bee Thousand, Alien Lanes, and Under the Bushes, Under the Stars).

Re: Band Names

Ten Thousand Damnations - Technical Melodic Death Metal
The 9 to 5 Hours - grunge/alternative
Wasteland Prophecy - Doom Metal
Burning Glass- psychadelic rock
My favorite band name is I Declare War.
My least favorite is Cradle of Filth.

Re: Band Names

One of my favorite band names is Fu**. Yes, the band is named Fu** (without the asterisks, of course). They play indie rock/"Americana"/acoustic folk-type stuff. I just love that one would guess with that band name, they'd play punk or metal or something. But no, it's indie rock. It'd be even better if they played twee indie pop.

Re: Band Names

If I am ever in a band and have any say about the name we will be The Ecotones.

Re: Band Names

I'm working on an electronic music project with a friend of mine.

We haven't discussed band names at all.

But right now, I'm leaning towards.

The Internets

Opinions?



I thought Small Talk would be cool too,
but Girl Talk already exists and it's too similar.
