Band Names

Seeing a group of friends recently forming a band, it made me realize that it is quite difficult to come up with good band names that are easy to remember, convey the theme/tone of the band, and aren't offensive. My friends have been called so many names thus far as "Archie and the Bloodclots," "The Tumbleweeds," "Black Pine," "Hollywood and His Boys," "The Braggarts," and claim to believe they have come up with the permanent name, "Annie Was a Virgin." They are still skeptical that this band name will remain, but it got me thinking, how do you think of a band name? It also got me thinking, how do you not think of a band name? It also got me thinking, why are the band names I came up with so terrible. Here is a list of absolutely appauling band names I've come up with. Enjoy.

- The Taliband
- K.K.OK!
- Calculust
- Cunt Crushers of Fucktation (debatable)
- Knee Grows and the Freedom Brigade

- Tainted
- Siphon (I actually kind of like some of these)
- Venom Gland
- Mexichant
