"Jesus in India" was nominated in the soon-to-be-legendary CRAINE! thread.
I go for...
"Joan As Police Woman"
Any advances on that?

Yeah - I saw a band on Monday night called Official Secrets Acts
(it was their single launch) and I feel it's a terrible terrible name.
what?
that sounds fine.
I really hate Does It Offend You Yeah.
Does it offend you?
yeah?
CRAINE!
CRAINE!
YAY!!
it's back!! :0)
^this
I hate saying that name. I hate any band names with the word glamour in it.
You Say Party
We Say Die
rubbish.
Does It Offend You, Yeah?
is one of my favourite band names everever
...
I actually think this is a pretty good name. They've got an old skool BBC-esque logo too.
My mates in them, I'm not really sure if they're any good, only seen them once.
The Others.
Test Icicles
Terrible
Animal Foreskin
Wins hands down.
Notorious Haemorrhoid Failure!
Of real bands, perhaps Tim and Sam's Tim and the Sam Band with Tim and Sam?
aye
that gets my vote too (tim and sam etc etc)
Please refer to the 2008 NME tour line-up
Hot Action Cop
GG Allin & The Child Molestors
The Squirrel Nut Zippers
Anna Hardcorenikova....actually, I think that may be the BEST band name ever.
A couple of stonkers i've seen lately
are Bland Bland Bland and Basically the Same. Terrible, man.
Is there actually a band called
Anna Hardcorenikova? There's no way I'm typing that into a search engine at work. :|
It's strange...I could have sworn I saw
a review for them in a punk/HxC fanzine about 10 years ago, but, they appear to have no net presence whatsoever.
In short it appears that there isn't a band anywhere on earth using the name at the moment.
If I were ever to form a melodic hardcore band with a posi edge in the vein of Gorilla Biscuits/Champion/Good Clean Fun that would be the name I'd steal!
ah right!
They do actually sound like a band Fracture would have reviewed! :D Also, if you do ever form that band, count me in! I can't actually play anything, but if you need a kazoo player, I'm the guy!
My ex bands
had some shit names.
The Elusive Truth, Propaan Butaan, Gassius Clay, IC1 Male. My favourite was Shoot the Tyres! Might ressurect that in the future.
:D
There's a band called Anna Hardcorenikova?! That's amazing.
Our guitarist wants us to cover...
...the GG Allin song "Expose Yourself to Kids". I'm not convinced by this idea.
It sounds like a surfefire way of getting your band
blacklisted from the NME's forthcoming 'Love Music, Hate Paedophilia' campaign!
Now you've made it tempting...
Hahah, the nme one month from now...
Jonny Borell; "I've always loved kids, i look forward to the day i can have some of my of my own"
NME ""have some" of his own? The fucking nonce!"
I lolled
at least, my head did
jeans and the ting tongs?
or something... ;-)
Porn Sword Tobacco
Is probably one of the worst names I Have seen
apparently
that's actually the name of a shop in Sweden.
it lives up to the name too.
how about?
...sherbet burp?
do i get extra points that i was in the band and thought of the name. puberty does cruel things to the mind.
Trash Fashion
Worst ever.
Worst band ever too.
I can't fathom anyone liking them.
Pretty great blog article on this very topic here:
http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/05/18/122502.php
The Load roster has some pretty bad names
Air Conditioning, Coughs, Fat Day, Sword Heaven, Maggots....
I disagree, Load record band names are great!
Some are
I like USAisamonster and Lightning Bolt, but come on, Air conditioning?!
I think Rotating Leslie is a pretty terrible name/band.
but you do know it's an actual thing right?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leslie_speaker
i don't know if it makes it a better or worse name
After
yesterday's thread on swearing in songs I decided to read wikipedia's article on Korn and the singer's old band is called Sexart, whilst the label they set up, Elementree Records, signed bands with equally horrible names - Orgy, Deadsy, Videodrone and Marz.
I was not impressed,
Lolz @ sexart
:)
Cats And Cats And Cats…
Awesome band, but shit name.
I like
this name. I like cats, so cat x 3 = good times.
There are no shit band names with Cat in the title!
Worst new band name
Fake Shark Real Zombie!
Scary Kids Scaring Kids
is top of the list with regard to the current crop of US complaintcore types.
hm we're on the
same j label as them
but yes, BAD name
back when I used to read the nme (circa last century) one of the high points was checking out the listings for london venues... a favourite was
'looks like rain'.
You called your band WHAT?
new as in supported test icicles two years ago?
I used 'current' not new.
.
burned,
plain and simple.
they meant
fake shark real zombie....not scary kids scaring kids...
Anything either boring or with extreme punctuation.
The Twang
The Wombats
The Blank Tapes
Does It Offend You, Yeah?
The Jessica Fletchers
Get Cape, Wear Cape, Fly
My band is called
Border Strafes or Border Straifs - not decided yet.
I also dont have either a drummer or bassist.
Needs a bit of work admittedly
Hmm
The Twang
The Enemy
The Verve
The Oasis
The Pink Floyd

haaa
my mate's band were called st/dc,
best/worst name ever!!
Definitely
worst.
anal cunt tops it for me
Up-C Down-C Left-C Right-C ABC+Start. brilliant band, crap name.
The Victorian English Gentlemens Club also a great band but a bad name.
similarly
up up down down left right left right b a start have an album called worst band name ever
i think arctic monkeys
is a double crappo name.
^ spot on
Its like the name of the local high school band who play Led Zep covers
Ney Young Pony Club
Cajun Dance Party
apparently
my band's playing on the same bill tomorrow as a band called My Big Knife. Pretty LOLable.
any of these "dark" faux-hardcore bands with names that
suggest they are violent romantics;
I am killed for you, bloody honey
or
she shoots eternity in Elisium
or
Where the death is a rose petal
or
Marriage on a barbwire dancefloor
i've made them up, but you know the one's i mean.
There's too many.
i love those names
Bleeding Over Your Diary
probably
two dead sluts, one good fuck.
or maybe only if you call me jonathon.
or my awEsoMe cOmpilation - that was how they used to write it.
The The
Good at the time, but they really failed to anticipate Google.
Se also: !!!
O'Death
Lesbian Spider
That was my bands name when I was at school.
The Pidgeon Detectives
Hands down!
pending disappointment
and yes, the album was a disappointment.
Christians In Search Of Filth
except that is ace
so
it is
easily
Cheeky Cheeky And The Nosebleeds
who are as spectacularly awful as their name implies
expect major label debut soon
band names
Boomtown Rats is comfortably the worst band name ever
...
Toxic Sluts.
Yes, at least one member DID wear a feather boa. How did you guess?
I think...
iLiKETRAiNS is a very shit band name.
Think the band are alright though...
Send More Paramedics
Also happen to be the shittest band of all time, too.
Also
The Kooks
Millions of Dead Cops
and
Haemostatic Picnic Races (Although they're pretty damn good)
I saw them
Play live in Kentish town once, they were shocking! As in bad. Not as in morally lamentable. Although they may be that too.
Toxic Sluts that is..
What about...
The Seal Club Clubbing Club
i know someone
whose band name went from:
"The Fabricators"
to
"We Fabricate"
to
"She's Hit"
in the space of two months, and all as awful as the previous.
In the town where I grew up
there were two bands that had to initialise their names on posters - Fuck Off Cunt Face, and Rape Victim's Guilty Orgasm.
Rape Victim's Guilty Orgasm?
I'm not sure this thread needs to continue from here
aaaaaaaaagh that's terrible
My Chemical Romance
Shit. Shit. Shit.
Couldn't be anything worse about them; the music, their ugly alien faces, the stupid name etc.
Although Anal Cunt's quite a shocker as well.
Youve Got Foetus On Your Breathe
Unless your Hugh Fearnley-Wittingstall.
Then Jericho!
Mark and Lard's worst band name ever as voted for by radio 1 listeners..!
my vote:
eww! you're a girl and girls suck
all girl summer fun band
the blues band
zarathrustra (shit northampton metal band)
gutworm (shit northampton metal band)
ritual of hate (shit northampton metal band)
my votes for worst band name ever, by simon of the band AMY BLUE
i thought the Mark & Lard winners were
Grab Grab The Haddock?
I saw Then Jericho
supporting Iggy Pop around 1986 :-o
Pissing Razors
Nice.
keith
boring and boring
the worst name ever is
S H I T D I S C O
anything with 'theory' and the end
there seems to be lots of dreadful emo wankers around here in bands called the october theory or desecration theory or some shit.
"same difference"
at least all the "bad" ones here allude to something, albeit quite stupidly.
"same difference" is as bad as calling your band "I dunno" or "stitch in time"
Anything seen on
That T4 Mobile Unsigned show
FRANK BUTCHER AND THE SLAGS
SKA band from berkhampsted herts
quite top notch
De Novo Dahl
off myspace is pretty bad, there was a band in Leeds called "Jeremy Beadles Hand" too.
a i know a local band called
"the banned" who recently changed their name to "sinsanity empire"
http://www.myspace.com/sinsanityempire
