A very cool band name. - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Thermopyle · 02-03-2005, 02:04 PM

Haven't heard them yet but if they are remotely as good as their band name is cool then this should be something.

Post the best/coolset band name you know here.

EDIT: I'm an idiot, I forgot the actual name

It's: And you will know us by the trail of dead.

I was in a ska band for a few years. We called ourselves "Toxic Penguin".

I played in a ska band called "The Ralph Wiggum Allstars" at the tender age of 14. I've still yet to live it down.
Edit - Also i was in a short-lived metal band called "Bury Her in the Desert"... i liked that name, but i came up with it.

Derwood · 02-05-2005, 07:23 AM

I heard there was a band that opened for Bare Naked Ladies called "Free Beer". So the Marquee for their shows always read:

Barenaked Ladies

and

Free Beer

My friends punk band is called, "The Stain", it's really named after the last name of one of the members, but when they leave a show, they also leave a stain!

obediah · 02-06-2005, 02:48 AM

as far as names go, it's heard to top:

The Slits

and yeah, they were an all girl punk band.

Val_1 · 02-06-2005, 08:56 AM

Funniest band name I've heard: Smashing Pop Cans (a cover band in my home town)

Coolest band name: Zombie Apocalypse (I don't think I've ever heard them, but I wished I had thought of their name for my bandl)

Lak · 02-06-2005, 08:53 PM

I always really liked the name "Strapping Young Lad"

Also my mate's band was (is?) called "Dirty Danny and the Sex Offenders", which made me laugh for a good portion of the day.

Tusko · 02-06-2005, 11:01 PM

i dig the name "smiling politely" (not sure if anyone has that name)

but its a decent name on it's own, kinda pseudo grunge, early 90s alternative.

but, its coolest if you get the reference.

warrrreagl · 02-07-2005, 05:26 AM

Here are the names of some bands I've played in (in order of coolness):
Mere Image (you have to say it aloud)
Suasage Act (the actual name started out as Saucy Jack, which we stole from Spinal Tap. Over time, band names tend to deconstruct).
Sucking Wind (the actual name was Second Wind, but the bass player and I preferred this alternate name)
3-D Bob (there were three of us, each of us with a name that started with "D" and none of us with "Bob" anywhere in our names. Most people screwed it up and called us Triple D instead)
