This is real, but translated from Russian. Except for the album name, we don't have that yet, so this is made up.

Band: Error 404

Album: Do Not Erase

Single Title: A Song About the End of Construction (cover of Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall")

In real life my solo project is Quetzalcoatlus. My favorite song title I've used is "A Remarkable Topaz Worn By A Spaniard" (I borrowed it from a book I stumbled upon on Project Gutenberg), and my favorite album title is Raised By Motorcycles.

Side projects that don't exist (yet) include:

• Kzzrk (experimental/ Sensory Abuse)
• Passionate Assholes (some variety of punk)
• Fragile Crystal Dragon (either prog rock or really fey synth-pop)
• DJ Hot Dog Snake With Mustard (either a throwback to Fatboy Slim-esque big beat techno, the dumbest songs I can possibly write, or both).

Oh, and Horrendous is the other idea I had for a Sensory Abuse (or industrial) "band" - if I did a split single with myself as Quetzalcoatlus I kind of imagine a logo where one name is vertical, the other is horizontal, and both meet at the "s". I keep entertaining the idea of doing enough songs that sound different from each other to make a supposed various artists compilation that's just me. Maybe I'd get other people to sing once in a while to throw the listener off more.

I've written four albums' worth of material for an aimless symphonic metal project called Through Scorching Skies. They are as follows:

• Siege Of Zion (meandered between progressive rock and melodic death metal influences a lot)
• Soliloquies and Psychoses (a wildly experimental odds-and-ends effort featuring the remains of my first attempt at a concept album and a couple things that were meant to be EPs)
• Paracelsus (a concept album based on Fullmetal Alchemist, experimental but in a more cohesive, structured way)
• From Phoenix Ashes (an original concept album that is undoubtedly the best of the four; it has a much clearer genre identity than the two preceding it, but tries to differentiate each song)

I also have a djent/chillout fusion project called Aevum Nova (New Life) with the beginnings of an album called Beyond (lyrical themes examine ideas about the cycle of reincarnation and the Hindu concept of Maya, or the illusory world).

All this is done for shits and giggles, and I have no real drive to get my music heard. It's great fun, though.

^liiiiiiiiiiiiiinks, I demand them.

My friend and I were kicking around this idea pretty much as a joke.

Band: Giant Fighting Robots

Album: Revengenance: Reloaded

Single: On You(feat. Akon, T-Pain)

Half of our songs would have been Testosterone Poisoning hard rock and hip-hop with lots of Bilingual Bonus Arabic and Armenian lyrics, the other half would have been Stylistic Suck-laden parody songs. And lots of Auto-Tune.

My band: a Classic Rock-inspired (think Meat Loaf/Billy Joel) Metal band (ie, Ozzy/Priest) with a 70s/early 80s feel.

We are: Advanced Engineering Test Reactor, or AETR.

First Album: And Now for Something Completely Different

First Single: Gravechild

This is all conceptual, of course. I live in a tiny rural town where the mere mention of Metal is likely to get you shunned from the community.

I'm in a quasi-fictional two-person industrial/noise band called Pipe Organ Grinder, whose output so far has been some ear-bleeders concocted on computer. We don't take it that seriously :P.

Well... I have a little fruityloops grindcore/electronica/goregrind/noise/digital rock/comedy/metalcore/whatever project whose name translated to english would be "Visceral Chromatography".

And a full-length is in the works. Hopefully it will be released before never.

The title is Justifications.

• An satirical gangsta/hardcore rapper/persona that I have yet to name, nor have I written any songs for. It's meant to be a Deconstructive Parody of gangsta culture, utterly irreverent and completely affectionate (which has probably been done before, but I don't really care), possibly making use of surreal humor in its satire. I've conceived the following albums for it:
  • The debut, Retard Attempting Poetry (I've been trying to think of an alternate name, as I HATE THAT ACRONYM), a Rock Opera (Rap Opera?) centering around a (caricature of a) typical thug. It details his attempts to make a profit through all the avenues available to someone of his stature, eventually deciding on becoming a rapper, all rendered through a satirical, surrealist view.
  • The follow-up/prequel, Home Is Where The Belt Is - Another concept album detailing the home life and childhood of the previous album's main character. It's a parody of many "ghetto families" and how children are raised there, centering on the use of corporal punishment.

Yes, I have no clue what I'm talking about, why d'you think this isn't written?

The Expectorations.

The Osculations.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot that some people at the club I intern at, after witnessing my karaoke, have half-jokingly proposed starting a punk band with me as the singer. Their proposed name is Dave Unger Jr., because that is also my nickname there - I apparently look like a younger version of the manager of another Cambridge club. They claim it'd give us a built-in fanbase, I can kinda get behind it because it would put us in the long-running tradition of band names that tend to confuse people into thinking they're actually solo acts - Jethro Tull, Harvey Danger, Alice Cooper (well, before Alice Cooper became a solo act anyway), etc.

If I ever become talented enough at playing guitar and/or songwriting, I would love to form a Post-Rock band and call it Zeus Throws Thunderbolts.

Dunno why, I've just always thought it would be an awesome band name, ever since I was about 16 and first getting into Post-Rock.

I want to make a power metal band called Buster Machine. They would perform songs about Humongous Mecha.

For death metal, it's gotta be Acrid Angel or Carnage Cathedral.

For straight up rock, I've always liked Thunderpunch.

I'd like to have a punk band named either Sister Fister or The Cunt Punt Front.

I also like the concept of a mecha-themed power metal band, so I'd call it Armoured Angel.

I'm still deciding on what to name my fake band, but I know it's going to be trippy electronic folk indie rock with a focus on quick shifts in style throughout songs (example: starting out with an acoustic guitar and only one set of vocals for a song's verses, and then distorted violins, drum machine, and five people singing on the chorus.) The first album will be called Let's Talk About Your Government, and the second will be called "Mock Bands" (and the artwork will be a mach band.)

Rock/Pop band (Fictional): The Crimson Knights.

Album name: Honor of Carnage.

Single Title: Endless Duel of the Souls

My band (should I ever start one):

Banzai Jack & the Kung-Fu Action Grips

our first album...

Cocaine Samurai

@Spain Sun: There's nothing to link to. Everything exists as a vast bank of Guitar Pro scores and MIDI files. I've always been too poor and/or surrounded by even more incompetent musicians than myself to record anything.

I was interested in releasing a concept album about the life and times of an indie rock band, entitled The Queens of Cans and Jars (the name of the band, which is itself named after a Guided by Voices song) - under what name, I have no idea. Possible song titles include:

• The Artiste Type
• FFFFSHSHSSSSHXXXVCVCCCXXHHZZZSSSSS (that's supposed to be the sound static makes)
• Acclaim/Bashing
• Fingerpicked Whispering
• Fractured Pop Songs?
• I Wish I Was In A Side Project
• Don't Chug PBR On Stage
• Poet Without a Face
• Desperate Moneygrub

I would write the lyrics, but probably get other people to play it, because I suck at playing instruments.

My one man band.

Indie Rock tinged with post-punk and anti-folk.

Artist: Pen Pals of Marat

Album: We Are The

Song: Perfect Is as Perfect Does

...I only have one song lyrics so far :c. And I don't even have a title for it, so I just made one up.
