Unfortunately "bland" band names are here to stay.  Stars, Books, Islands, Shins, Kills, Dears... it's getting quite out of hand.

Of course we've always had them... Clash, Smiths, Fall, etc., but it seems like it's more annoying now.

She Wants Revenge are on a sub label of Geffen.

So not really.

but the music sucks because the keyboards don't have the cold/mechanical sound they had but a wannabe techno sound that it's pathetic for Rammstein standars.

i was going to say...they're like...alternative, or something.

another odd name: Forgive Durden

i think the name Durden is funny.  it rolls off the tounge a little strangely

Fuck yes. Blowfish=possibly the most suspect animal ever.

Pretty much everyone I know thinks Broken Social Scene sounds like an emo band name.  It's just so... highschool/drama.

I believe the name Anal Cunt is more supposed to mean "anal" as in "anal retentive" and "cunt" as in when a Scottish guy calls another guy a "stupid cunt".

You know, like, "Shite, you are one fooking anal cunt."


When you put it that way it makes sense. Thank you for creating some clarity in my otherwise foggy existence. You're a gift to the human race. No I'm serious. That actually makes sense now.

Never heard anything by them, I'll judge once I've heard.

Allthough the doors have some good songs, I had to laugh out loud the firsttime I found out a band namen themselves after a wood-carved object which humans push out of their way to get somewhere

Um, they shortened it from "The Doors of Perception", which from memory is a Huxley reference.  You could easily find out, anyway, but they didn't name themselves after ... doors.  Which is a pity.  :-)

I never really got into them, so I didn't really know. It's kinda like a lot of new Slayer fans these days don't know that Slayer is short for: "Satan Laughs As You Eternally Rot"

Anal Cunt has no meaning at all. Seth Putnam simply wrote out a list of swear words and tried to find the most offensive combination. If you consider the design of their logo, the meaning really does become all too plain.

Strawberry Alarm Clock. Seriously, for all the good the psychedelic movement did, fuck everybody who named their band after an acid-induced dream sequence.

the music, only this post could make me remember their substandard brand of crap, topped of by a perpetually annoying lead singer that thought he could dance and the single least imaginative name ever.
way back when people listened to them they were on my room 101 list, seriously that bad.

No, Anal Cunt is not a good band.

As far as I can't imagine what an anal cunt is, try imagining anal vomit.

Explosive diarrhea, I would think.

Kills, Dears

These two actually really suit each band's music, though. The Kills is short and unadorned. The Dears is a very romantic-sounding, almost baroque sort of name.

I saw them once. Rogue hugged me. I am really not sure I should ever share that with anyone ever again because I feel like I've just incriminated myself terribly.

indie Christian skacore

The worst genre names thread is somewhere a little further down.

Actually I'm kind of horrified that you would lump two fine Australian bands in with that.

I like the 'indie' in front of indie christian skacore. It seems to imply that EMI and Universal have been snapping up a lot of christian skacore bands lately.
