Good Name For A Rock Band thread.

I came across a few gold ones while reading a Jack Kirby comic:

Busting Of A Conqueror

Pseudo-People Inc.

You Indescribable Fiend

Don't Feel Like Burning Cars

World That's Coming

Multi-Killer

The Vicious Criminals

His Hideous Adversary

Shock of Electric Fury

Tragic Product of Man

Havoc In My Hideout

First Stop on the Road to the Damned

Kafka's Wheeled Bunker

Brother Eye

What good band names have you discovered while loafing/reading?

Omnidirectional Suckage.

I used this in conversation the other day and someone suggested it would be a good name for a punk band. I agree.

A brighter future for a darker age.

Dropping Bricks From Overpasses-although that might be better as an album name.

I know what you said, sugar, but 'platonic' still entails a world of ideas.

Hell, no, that would be an awesome punk name. And all the cool kids would call 'em "Dropping Bricks."

I ran one Suzumiya Haruhi OST artist's name through Google Translate once trying to get it romanized, and it came out as "Dawn Before the Altar", which I immediately thought would make an utterly bitchin' name for a band (and a person I guess, if the kanji in his/her name really did translate into that.)

Oh dude. That's pretty sweet.

[up]Definitely a good name for a Power Metal or Indie Rock band.

I know next to nothing about band names, but I think these names sound interesting if not dumb.

  • Hot-Blooded Losers

I'm damn sure I posted most of these to the troper tales page once upon a time:

  • Fragile Crystal Dragon (I'm thinking either retraux 70's prog rock or retraux 80's synth pop. Either way there'd be really garish album artwork involved)
  • Orchestra X-7 *
  • Disco Injuries
  • Broads Of Canada
  • Bad Monkey Fashion
  • Hella Weights (a North Californian Slayer tribute band made up of body builders, obviously)
  • Truckcess
  • Carnival Weasel
  • E.T.C. (no, not Etc., E.T.C.) *
  • Hairforce One *
  • Awesome Movie Sound Noises *

My Fake Band is generally named Nuclear Fruitbowl.

But I also like "Cephalopod Tchochtke." And I don't even thing I spelled that right. And "Glitch Crab."
