[E. Spaceman]

Hungry Geisha

I'm using it in the future.

[Kai]

I like the name Roger.

[Snail of Doom]

I like the name Roger.

Why thank you

[pat101]

I'm still sticking with my bro's band

Placenta Skyline

It kills me that I didn't think of it first.

[Coolhanderik]

My friend and I came up with this one a little while ago:
Pandarific

[ImRonBurgundy?]

-IT'S A TRAP!! (i wanted to create a crazy punk rock synthpop band)
-Ginsu Thumbtack (Jawbreaker reference)
-Troubleman & No-No (Achewood reference)
-Lydia Sees Blue (this one's awful)
-Lydiaseesblue (it's even worse like this)
-The No-Goodniks (my awful ska band in high school)

and a couple gems from the random band name generator:

-The Hitler's Erection Band
-Captain Whatthefuck

plz don't steal thx (actually, you can steal pretty much any but the first two.  can't imagine why you'd want any of these, though)

[ayePod]

My accapella hardcore punk band are called ChuggaWugga.

[TrueNeutral]

You know the drill. At least, I think you do.

Post band name ideas... now!


Tweedle-Doom
Page-a-Day

Tweedle-Die & Tweelde-Doom? Or is that overkill?

Pagan-a-Day.

I quite like your name, Snail of Doom. It would make a great band name.

To whoever posted Lydiaseesblue, that totally reminds me of Alexisonfire.

Here are some ideas me and my friends are kicking around (so you can't use them even if you wanted to):

Something Shiny
Oh My God Penguins
Boot Camp of Futility
The Fabulous Puppy Kickers
The Wild Maggots
The Influenzas
The Evil Villains
The Canned Beans
The Groovy Sockpuppets
Cylindricious (we're all pringles addicts... delicious and in a cylinder)
Jigsaw Sabotage
A Hound, A Boar And That Crazy Fox (apparently, I'm the crazy fox of the three of us)
Funderbunk And The Cower Hours
Film Jellyfish (Instant Classic reference)
Itsdeadletseatit
Mudfight in the Sand Castle
Banana Shitbox

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

[Hairy Joe Bob]

How about Charlie Loves Cheesy Poofs.

Or else the very simple but very entertaining: Stroke My Barse.


the first was a terrible punk band at my college that used South Park samples. the other was a black-metal/burlesque band (I know, I know!) from belfast.

[KharBevNor]

Names in my book of names:

...And the Perishing of Stars
Alt + 666
Amateur Dentistry
As His Darkness Increases
Bastard Sword
Bible Black
Blitzkrieg Intrigue
The Brown Note Appreciation Society
Carrowmore
Cities Under Nocturnal Threat
Crowley & the Moonchildren

Six Hundred and Sixty Six Tortured Decibels
Skullfucker 2012
Splatterfunk *
Terminal Breath
Traumavision
Unleash the Weasels
Witchstorm
Yes, I Am Talking About Rat War
Zyklon-A+



No-one can ever, ever, ever use Alt + 666. They're one of my greatest inventions. The most blasphemously rad Satanic Geeks in all of SoCal, with their red-tinted librarian glasses and their wanton iPod mini sacrifice. Also, Bible Black is so not taken from the hentai series. Though I'd never actually TELL the fans that.

Oh, you can also never use 'From Thee Deepwoode Ycomen'. That's my planned medieval rock band that sings only in heavily accented Middle English. Keep off Hitler and the Fuhrerettes as well. That's me in Liederhosen and an all-girl backing band in kinky SS uniforms. We'll play raucous cabaret punk and go on tour with Hanzel und Gretyl. And you really can't use Bastard Sword, because it's the best untaken metal band name on the planet.

'Cities Under Nocturnal Threat' would only exist so I could snigger when people abbreviated the name (CUNT).

Zyklon-A+ (smarter than Zyklon-B) is just silly.

I don't check these things up a lot, btw, so some of these probably already exist. If anyone gets any of the stupider references, much love.

*This really needs to be a genre, actually. I see a four man band: drums, bass, sax, vocals and chainsaw. Vocals a mix of Tom Waits most ridiculous era and Cannibal Corpse. Lots of B-Movie samples.

[E. Spaceman]

Jigsaw Sabotage

I like that one best, perhaps simply The Jigsaw.


And for Khar: Is Bible Black from the King Crimson album?

[surgerydrugsnrocknroll]

Splatterfunk *

*This really needs to be a genre, actually. I see a four man band: drums, bass, sax, vocals and chainsaw. Vocals a mix of Tom Waits most ridiculous era and Cannibal Corpse. Lots of B-Movie samples.

that is one of the single greatest ideas i have heard.

[zutonna]

Snail of Doom: I agree with TrueNeutral that your username would make a great bandname. Looking at your ideas, maybe "The Post Nobleman" should become "The Noble Postman"? Also, I like "Don't Shoot"

TrueNeutral: Regarding "The Wild Maggots", I think the word "wild" is a little redundant, as is "evil" in "The Evil Villains". But cheer up! I absolutely love "Jigsaw Sabotage" and you should keep it that way! It gave me thought of someone appearing out of nowhere and wrecking someone else's puzzle with a joyfully insane expression on their face. Mmmm...
Petty destruction
(Ooh! Maybe that ^ could be a band name!)

Out of Khar's I like:
Amateur Dentistry
Hitler & the Fuhrerettes
Mitternacht
Oceanspawn
Sea Wolf
and Traumavision
Also, "Terminal Breath" reminds me of Monty Python (that right? Probably not)  and would you consider "Rats With Wings" rather than "Infected Pigeon"?

[KharBevNor]

And for Khar: Is Bible Black from the King Crimson album?

Nah, they just referenced it from the same place I did.

http://www.undermilkwood.net/prose_umw1.html

Greatest radio play ever. And I listen to a lot of radio plays.

[TheFoolOnTheHill]

I always thought the Thundering Peacocks would be a really cool name for a band.

[Ficus]

Splatterfunk *


*This really needs to be a genre, actually. I see a four man band: drums, bass, sax, vocals and chainsaw. Vocals a mix of Tom Waits most ridiculous era and Cannibal Corpse. Lots of B-Movie samples.

So basically Morphine + Texas Chainsaw Massacre + Tom Waits + Sasquatch Hunters Samples?

I'd buy it.

[sandocho]

I always thought the Thundering Peacocks would be a really cool name for a band.

I prefer Peeing Thundercocks.






Sorry.

[Kelamin]

Saw Henry Rollins at the big day out last week and He came up with the suggestion of Black Lesbian President. Granted he suggested it as an album title but it's still cool nonetheless

[Kai]

Khar, Hitler and the Fuhrerettes is like, the best name ever.

[KharBevNor]

So basically Morphine + Texas Chainsaw Massacre + Tom Waits + Sasquatch Hunters Samples?

Pretty much, with a dash of Jackyl - The Lumberjack, the only blues rock track I know of with a Chainsaw solo.

[Storm Rider]

And for Khar: Is Bible Black from the King Crimson album?

That is exactly the first thought I had. King Crimson ftw.

[AnonymousPosterChild]

Robert Eastman and the Backalley Neurosurgeons

Because not enough bands follow the (NAME) + (ADDITIONAL TITLE) formula anymore.

[TheFoolOnTheHill]

TV Eye
Jungle Fungus
Penis Flytrap


These came up in an AIM convo with my friend.

[Snail of Doom]

@TrueNeutral: Actually, the addition of Tweedle-Die seems to quite work well. My faves out of your are:

Oh My God Penguins
Cylindricious
Jigsaw Sabotage
and Itsdeadletseatit

@zutonna: The Post Noblemen was supposed to be a pun on "Post No Bills", but The Noble Postman sounds good too. "Don't Shoot" is one of my faves as well

@both: Thank you both for the screenname appreciation. I also think it'd be a snazzy band name, which is why I use it for my solo techno compilations

More names from me:

Driedel and Spindle
The Cow Tongue Soup
We Do Weddings, Birthdays and Bar Mitzvahs (it seems like I'm on some Jewish reference kick)
Read Our Instructions
The Off-Sides
Node
The Crazy 8
Lampshade Dancers
Ray of Pure White Light
Doze Code (see if you can guess how I thought that up)
Cookie on za Rokku
Several In One
The Reflux (Only kidding)
The Tune-Ups

[Storm Rider]

If we're doing it on songs by awesome bands:

Evil Devolution
Neon Knights
Gates of Urizen
Erotomania
Panic Attack
The Great Deceiver(s)
Cosmik Debris
Don't Eat the Yellow Snow
Wrathchild
Aces High
Hallowed Be Thy Name
House Full of Bullets
The Extremist(s)
The Hellion(s)
Moonchild(ren)
Disciples of the Watch
Dopamine

Moonchildren would have to be a goth metal band a la Type O Negative. And Evil Devolution is just too cool of a name not to be mentioned. I suppose it'd be doom, possibly death or grindcore.

[E. Spaceman]

How about "Pay Day" I can see an emo band use that name.

[Cerulaetas]

I have one to contribute at the moment, and that is...

I WEAR THE ANGRY PANTS IN MY FAMILY

which could just be shortened to "ANGRY PANTS" I guess.

[CRASH andor BURN]

Chinatown Breakdown
The Gallows
The Firing Squad
Facing the Firing Squad
Last Man Standing
One Man Army

88 MPH

Oh Dear God We're Burning Alive (Burning Alive for short)

Also, some people have mentioned Band Name Generators, Where can I find one?

[Kai]

Disco Bandits, huh? You know, there's already a band called the Disco Biscuits. They're pretty hardcore.

[Snail of Doom]

Ah. I was unaware of this, domo arigato gozaimasu. Erm, thank you. I don't know half as many bands as most people on this board, therefore I may accidentally come up with many names that are very similar to already existing ones.

I just looked up the Disco Biscuits on iTunes. They sound pretty cool. Not exactly my type of music, though

EDIT: Removed unnecessary quote of above post

[Kai]

They sound like, 80 times better live. I mean, they play their songs backwards, in different orders, improvise, and then rock out.

[Oli]

I quite like:

The Anti-Social Workers.

(the) Mixtape Mistakes

Sub-Atmoic Particles

Pocket Crockery.

[Snail of Doom]

[ozphactor]

Death of a Salesman (Arthur Miller For T3h Win!)

I was gonna say that that totally sounds like the name of a terrible emo band... before I googled it and found out I was right. Darn.

[KharBevNor]

If I was going to name my band after iconic American plays, I'd choose Edward Albee. 'A Delicate Balance' would make a good band name.

[Snail of Doom]

Death of a Salesman (Arthur Miller For T3h Win!)

I was gonna say that that totally sounds like the name of a terrible emo band... before I googled it and found out I was right. Darn.

Damn it all

[M3gaBigh]

My band has been trying for a while to come up with names. There's three of us. Without telling them what I was planning I asked from a random work from the other two. The name I came up with is Autumn Goat Dynasty, such an awesome name but they don't like it. A guy at my work knew a band called Free Beer so they people came to see them thinking they'd be getting beer that they didnt have to pay for, alas no, it was the band instead. One of my bros friends came up with The Big Glove so their intro would be: please give a big hand for the big glove.

[zak924]
