im going for does it offend you, yeah?
i mean - what the fuck is that. they just strike me as wankers. proper wankers.
and keane - they name themselves after the hardest footie player of all time, and then proceed to be the weakest tea sipping bunch of fags ever to grace a tory party conference

Keane named themselves after the singer's nanny
so it is more appropriate than you'd think.
well i dont know their grandma
but she must be a pussy to have spawned that runny faced gimp
nope
i think he means nanny as in 'au pair'. even worse...
Casiotone for the Painfully Alone.
Just embarrassing.
^ This
It's possibly the most horrifyingly twee name ever.
it's a fantastic band name!!
and does exactly what it says on the tin with a tongue firmly placed in it's cheek (at least for the earlier stuff)
im sure ill get pummelled for this but
dananananackroyd. its terrible surely! its just bad
The Kills - No Wow
a double header of scenester bullshit.
plus
CTFTPA is a great name! You people talk about twee as if it's a bad thing.
Twee is a bad thing!
It makes me want to ram mittens and books on ornithology down people's necks.
Mittens and ornithology = good
Twee = bad.
I like mittens and birds, ok?
So long as the mittens aren't joined together by a long piece of string. I WON'T LOSE THEM AGAIN I PROMISE.
Or, worse still,
a short piece of string.
they are awful
that new single doesn't sound like a real song, it sounds like a jingle for a cosmetics advert.
i agree
but correct you will probably get pummelled for this so i can not support you in any official sense.
v this
I would say either this: http://www.drownedinsound.com/articles/383067

joe lean and the jing jang jong
end of thread
the twang
i wish someone would egg them onstage.
*shoot them
Foo Fighters
Not many people seem to notice what a dreadful name this is.
Arctic Monkeys
Surely? SURELY?
one that dropped through my letterbox..
Kunt and the Gang - One Last Wak And One Last Cry
*wank
Scouting for Girls
Just...why? Why did anyone think this would be a suitable name for a band? Why??
Ting Tings
they're just as rubbish as their name
How come?
when there is a bad band name thread and when there is a good band name thread, the same bands appear on both?
because people have different tastes?
Most of the
2007/2008 class of tepid "indie rock" have pretty awful names.
The ones that really annoy me though are those who put a swearword of somekind in for no apparent reason.
agreed i fucking hate that
cunts
"The Fucking Kooks"?
Dananananananananakyroid
Jo lean and the Jing Jang Jong
Ting Tings
Does it offend you, yeah?
Shitdisco
Cats & Cats & Cats
Get Cape Wear Cape Fly
Fuck off please
I agree
Dananananananananakyroid is a completely woeful name for a band!!
Shitdisco
Joe Lean and the Jing Jang Jong
ell oh ell
yes
it sure is
it's better if you say it like the 60s Batman TV themetune.
Da-na-na-na-NAYKROYD!
It's also better when you spell it right (not you, him ^)
But only ever so slightly ;)
Shitdisco
I'd almost forgotten about them
Yep yep yep
Soiled Mattress and the Springs

Roger F!!
Nicky D!!
Bassline Smith!!!
IC3!!!
Hazard!!
Nicky Blackmarket!!!
Fearles!!!

Does anyone remember Bum Gravy?
John Peel used to play them alot, I always wondered how far they thought they woul go with that name.
The Feeling
It's just so
"hummmmmmmmbleurghhhhhhh"
oh
and their faces also make me want to punch my nan
Blistering Anal Skin
I saw them live and they made me punch my nan.
i hate the feeling
with a passion.
especially having been subjected to watching them on tv doing never be lonely at some shit festival and breaking it down in the middle to have all the girls sing and all the guys sing. it was sickening. absolutely disgusting
Yeah, because people enjoying themselves
is fucking horrible, innit?
yes
yes it is
The Psychedelic Reaction
Their album "Genre Music Is The Enemy" and my nan's kidney. GRRRRRRR
hmmm
Does it offend you, yea- oh, already mentioned, but it's the sound of someone throwing chips at you on the bus, just waiting for you to fight back so they can stab you. See also people that lunge at you in the streets and laugh at you for being scared/think it's funny to drive through puddles and soak pedestrians/stamp on kittens. It just encapsulates that sort of violent stupidity that so many people seem to accept as passable behaviour.
<rant over>
oh and Cute Is What We Aim For, Rosetta Stone, Rosa Fears and Girls Like Boys. Bad names, so says the guitarist from the band Amy Blue.. :D
Glam Chops
clearly.
I love you but I've Chosen Darkness
Good, go away.
^
this always makes me laugh
^^

^^
also I
^^^
learn to DiS
gothsicles
crappy music and name. Ohhh i'm a clever with my nintendo refrences, and shitty keyboard backbeats.
The followeing
Fuck Buttons
Selfish Cunt
Piss soaked jeans or whatever the fuck they are called
Black Kids
There should be a band called
NAN PUNCHER
that would be good.
First EP called 'Riot At The Tandoori Garden'
The Strange Death of Liberal England
The murder of Rosa Luxemburg.
Wow you can read books and maybe went to university.
Go fuck yourselves
Bloc Party...
...is just as studenty and objectionable.
Reading and Education = Bad.
You heard it here first, folks.
Music may only be made by the Illiterati Un-smarty Nazi Party from now on.
Actually, that's a great name. I'm going to make a band just to annoy the cunts in this thread.
No
Trite references to literature or politics without actual literary or nuanced,political creative output=trying too hard
oh, and future for the left
I don't think they're trying too hard or pretentious.
but...I mean why???
*of
Cute Is What We Aim For
Is probably the most disgusting band name I've ever had the displeasure to hear, it forces me do a little sick in my mouth
Emo bands have to worst names, I'm sure there's one that has 'Prom' in the title? Vom.
I killed the prom queen?
never heard what they sound like but they have prom in the name
Metalcore.
the nintendos
.
LAWL
are they playing capitol soon, innit?
I forgot Cannibal Corpse
Each and every album/song title is ridiculous. Here's a snippet of their typical lyrics:
Stick it in
Rip the skin
Carve and twist
Torn flesh
From behind
I cut her crotch
In her ass I stuck my cock
Killing as I cum
hahahahahaha
they're such cards
my friend's band :(
"english steel"
they sound like they should be sheffield based. they're really not.
actually my friend's band too
J..o.n..ny g.e;t''s a g'.un
I've iserted all the punctuation so they don't find this page when they google their band name.
Which, they do often.
did he get the gun to shoot the jazz?
he hates that shit
so its
jonny gets a gun?
whoops!
you are a tit
sir
kasabian
any band with
boy does something in it:
boy hits car
boy sets fire
boys like girls
i met a guy once who told me he was in a band called love kills boy or something like that, and it made me want to punch him in the face.
boy kill boy
ugh
and did you?
i hope so
*boy meets world
brendan o'hare
wot was in macrocosmica and fanclub n that has a noise project entitles SNEAKY PENIS.
also at his recent gig, SCROTAL TUNIC played.
haha
wrong thread - both of those are brilliant.
Test Icicles
It's not even a shit pun. And it's really hard to spell.
How about
Brown Windsor.
22-year-old Asshole
I can't stand people who use the tern 'fags' to disparage. You say you're twenty-two; I'd say 8 or 9 -- and mostly likely gay yourself.
We Smoke Fags!
Completely forgot about that dire dire name
Massive Attack
I love the band. I LOVE the band. But, they really chose a quite meaningless, empty name. At least I think so. I'll ask Wikipedia. That's where I get my opinions.
Bullet For My Valentine
Keane
The Killers
The Kills
The The
(Most names starting with "the" that follow with one more word only).
Joe Lean And The Jing Jang Jong
!!! or chk chk chk
Fall Out Boy
Boy Kill Boy
The Strange Death Of Liberal England
Bloc Party
Fuck Buttons
The Feeling
Test Icicles
The Long Blondes
Cradle Of Filth
Slipknot
Korn
Linkin Park
Limp Bizkit (probably the single worst band name ever)
Radiohead (I'm sure if they were a shit band lots of people would say the same)
No doubt I will have more later.
There is also this local band near where I live called "Tricycle Fucking Death", now what the hell seriously, it's not even catchy, witty, it doesn't even make sense. I remember making a joke to my friend and saying how does a tricycle actually fuck death, a tricycle, the grim reaper, no I don't see it.
tricicle fucking death
its just silly enough to be absolute genius
i saw a band called the unstoppable undiscovered robot
Joe Lean and the Jing Jang Jong
sounds like a racial slur.
Sara, you're not cute in any sense.
Get with it.
i just found one called
raped baby's corpse
but on the other hand, i found a really good one: Jovial Cunt
Red Sparowes have some awful track titles
"Mechanical Sounds Cascaded Through The City Walls And Everyone Reveled In The Their Ignorance"
"Sixth Extinction Crept Up Slowly Like Sunlight Through The Shutters As We Looked Back In Regret"
