As cool as shock names are, this is not cool. I dislike the way you feel this makes you a funny guy/big man, because it clearly does not. Is it really obligatory to think gruesome things are cool if you are into the m3tal scene d00d? LOL I GOT THESE SWEET NAMES FOR OUT BAND CHECK THEM OUT DONGZHAHA! :

DUNBLANE SCATPLAY FEST

SARAH PAYNE AND THE VIOLATED CUNTS

HUNTLEY CRUE

HEY GUYS I JUST RAPED A BABY AND I THINK YOU SHOULD ALL TAKE A LOOK BECAUSE I AM SELLING THE BODY PARTS OFF FOR SKAG MONEY, I RECCOMMEND THE FINGERS, LIPS AND BUTTOCKS, THEY MAKE AN EXCELLENT SOUP, OR AN EXQUISITE CANAPÉ TOPPING FOR THOSE HARD-TO-PLEASE GUESTS AT YOUR NEXT NECROPHILE GATHERING

How childish.

[KharBevNor]

I am totally making one of those the title of the nice little closing instrumental for Death Throes - Death Throes Can Seriously Harm You and Others Around You. This is because it has basically struck me that not even 'Eye Socket Sodomy' is really THAT offensive. Though 'Alternative Penetration' is pretty bad when you think about it, and I'll probably have grossed out if I manage to record a version of 'Grenade Suppository' and get it on there.

I'm totally going to make that a song now.

Those are pretty good names.  It was a joke the me and a friend had once while we were drinking because he talked about a bukkake.  I really didn't mean to piss you off I more thought it was funny because it was a totally random name.

Some of those names are pretty catchy though.

And my "band" that had that name became a serious band so you know I'm glad that I came up with it because it started a band I enjoy.

Sorry you took offense to it but you know, kids will be kids.

[Kai]

Especially when kids are drinking.


I've notcied that alot of bands like to steal their names from William Faulkner books. As I Lay Dying or The Sound and the Fury, anyone?

[Rust]

I'm in a metalcore band for fun and our name is "One Fish Two Step"

Swear to god.

We're a kiddycore band.

hahahahaha

Holy shit, I just laughed out loud for a good 10 minutes on that one.
I would make this my new sig' but I'll get banned.

[valley_parade]

My solo post-rock/drone/doom project is called "Valley Parade" after the fire in 1985.


Wait, omg, that's my forum name too! heh.



Um.."the cardgage", "Five Threesir", "six4thr33",  "Jimmy and the Clearly Obvious"...that's all I've got.

EDIT: It's too long. DAMNATION

[Praeserpium Machinarum]

Someone needs to name their band after that Solex album:

The Laughing Stock of Indie Rock

If I could play an instrument etc. I would totally name my band that.

[blanko blanco]

Here's one that's totally usable: The Love Triangles

You're welcome in advance.

[thelightguy]

Hmmm... my band is still trying to pick a name, but we're down to the following (not from the list):

Indy and the Joneses
The Andersons
Superman Can't Fly
Bill's Interns
Trickle Down Economics And The Rich That Benefit
Die Schmucken.

My thoughts on each:

1. Funny...
2. Not bad
3. My favourite
4. funny, again
5. Way too political... accurate, but political.
6. Love the double entndre... in yiddish, it means "those dicks", in german, "those jewels"

[soap]

discussing names for grindcore bands while watching the exorcist a friend of mine came up with semen of christ

[Combinethresher]

I'm kind of surprised that no Bongzilla/Weedeater-style band has called itself Sludgehammer yet. At least I hope not. I'd like to be able to take credit for that.

[soap]

the greatest band name i've ever seen was a promo i was sent to review sometime last year - Rumpelstiltskin Grinder- they were fantastic in their own twisted way to, shame all my relapse promo albums have the songs split into 15 tracks each making them bloody horrible annoying to play back on an ipod

[Tabilus]

-The Indie Saints
-Boggle Junior
-Connect Five
-Plus Six Damage
-The Crappy Lamps

I love this topic. :)

[tommydski]

my favourite two were both stolen from steve albini -

'pant gift'

and

'gentle fudge'

[soak]

I always wanted to call a band Flux Incapacitor

[ImRonBurgundy?]

i want to start a Screeching Weasel-style punk band called Myron Reducto.

[SomeOtherGuy]

armless leg-love
narcoleptic Sandman

[alyosha]

I always wanted to start a really bad Ska band and call it 'Skatology"

[Omnicide]

my mates and I do this all the time, everytime someone says something strange, we've got a list somewhere.

Bands I've been in:

Full Metal Racket
Jazz From Hell
Judge, Jury & Executioner
In It For The Money
Pissed & Broke (pissed in the English sense)
Mark's The Bassist (it wasn't my idea...)
Day Of The Lavos

and 'Omnicide' actually. until we found out it'd been taken.

Most only lasted three gigs and ended in tears.

[Johnny C]

Indy and the Joneses
The Andersons
Superman Can't Fly
Bill's Interns
Trickle Down Economics And The Rich That Benefit
Die Schmucken.

The third one is probably the most likely to be memorable.

[TrueNeutral]

Full Metal Racket

I quite adore this one.

[Narr]

Full Metal Racket

I quite adore this one.

Seconded.

Also, I like Flux Capacitor.  Made me lol when I read it.

A guy I know posted a picture of some fake bulliten he drew on the whiteboard in his office at work, which had an "article" titled "Marauding space tacos kidnap president" and I thought, "Marauding Space Tacos would be an awesome name for a band."

[Rizzo]

I forgot one. Ümlat!

Crustcore from Finnland. Rather a good band actually. Admittedly, they're actually called Ümlaut but really, it's close enough.

And a reminder, bands such as "Mark Plays Bass" or "The Band That Tom's In" never work out. You didn't put enough effort in.

Strychnine Waterslide
Castro!phe
Hate Made Digital
Mars Bluff (after the town that was accidentally bombed in the 50's)
And I really want to be in a deathmetal/goregrind band called "Miss Colorado Teen USA"

[KharBevNor]

I want to start a band called 'Depraved and Corrupted'. Our first album would be called 'Depraved and Corrupted Are Smoking Your Dead Grannies Toenails in a Bong Full of Bleach' and would have the following tracklist:

1: Wiping my Ass With Your Severed Face
2: Grenade Suppository
3: Cunt on Toast
4: Birkenhau Bukkake Bonanza
5: Vomiting Worms Into Your Empty Eye-Sockets
6: Enter Satans Inverted Church of Goat Intestines
7: Nobody Sees the Funny Side of Paedophilia (Except Me and Fred West) [GoatFister cover]
8: Why put Razors in Halloween Treats When Cyanide Poisoning is so Amusing?

and so on and so forth. The joke is, we would steal a demo from some emo band, and then send it to venues we asked to play at, calling ourselves 'Salvation Diner' or 'Broken Hearted and Spineless' or something, and get support slots for nancy emo acts, then, when we got up on stage, we would all be stoned out of our minds, rip off all our clothes and pour buckets of pigs blood over our heads, then play until we were physically removed from the stage by security.

I just want to be in a sick grind or black-punk band. 'tis not to be though. Hardcore has ruined everything.

[Snail of Doom]

Portia, Art Thou Gone?
The Poker Size Air-Cushion Finish Playing Cards (The Playing Cards for short)
Francisca Is Also Bored

While you're at it, have the band member no one likes commit suicide on stage.  That'd probably get some people riled.

[redbeardjim]

Unfortunately, the best band name EVAR has already been taken, and by a bunch of Muppets at that.

Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem FTW!

[TrueNeutral]

I came up with this one after drawing a cartoony looking Cthulu during history class (I hate history class I already know everything the guy tells me).

Creatures That Howl Underneath Locked Universes (abbreviated CTHULU)

There's probably better words I can use, but I couldn't come up with them soon enough because english isn't my first language.

[SuperRad]

My new band is tentatively called either Fuck Ur Music or Suburbia In Watercolor.

Fuck Ur Music because someone wrote that on my friend's door because we were practicing too loud.

[TrueNeutral]

You should have a song that is a rant about people who can't spell. Everyone will point out the irony.

Dude, that is a priceless band name.

[PrinceMyshkin]

OR

Our Stlye is Glory

[TrueNeutral]

I was talking to someone about religion and he mentioned that only extremists explode for salvation, and that when I realised that Explode For Salvation would be a killer band name.

The problem there is that you've spelt Cthulhu wrong. Nice try though.

[Deprae]

the imaginary em0 band i invented is called "The Bleeding Ashes of My Dead And Forgotten Summer".

their #1 single is "Yes Mom, This Razor Is For Shaving".

I've always thought a cool/annoying name for a band would be Selftitled. their 3 albums would be called Untitled, Debut Album, and Selftitled, in that order, just so people would get really confused.

'And here's the first single from Selftitled's debut album, Untitled....'


um... yeah. I get really bored at work.

[PrinceMyshkin]

The Pitchforks (OMG THEY WOULD GET THE BEST REVIEWS!!!)

The Zen Triangle

Local Sports Team

The Thylacine

Yeah, I noticed that after I did a google search for pictures.

Creatures That Howl Underneath Locked, Hateful Universes?

[JodyAnthony]

I am currently the only member of a band called Shirley and the Temples.

I am shirley.

yes. I am a guy with a girls name whose stage name is a girls name.

EDIT: Also


Dr. Frank FTW

EDIT 2: Electric Boogaloo

Also, if it wasnt already a band (although I've only been able to find one song by them ever) I would totally use the name Well Hung Monks

[Sam]

My current band is called The Pickpockets. Also, there's another one in the works called Spiked Weasel (or something like that...I think it's a little derivative of Screeching Weasel, Ima try and change it). The latter is a little like The World/Inferno Friendship Society, what with it being punk rock and having a shitload of other instruments.

Including the ukulele.

[nEmoGrinder]

Banana Shitbox

EDIT: Any comments or 'that one's the best' will be appreciated.

I think that just took the cake....


I've heard some bad ones in my time, which include my own cheesy band names.  unless it's a reference or completely genious using "the 'any plural noun'" is really crap.  and over used, but of course, isnt that the point?

how about...The Dirty Diapers?  could be good for some sort of new wave neo-grunge band....

or flaming urination?  I could see myself going to a spazcore show of a  band named something like that.
