I particularly like Dismal Lapse, no doubt they're a politically charged hardcore band, but I can't help but feel that their name sounds more like a comment made by a rail transport safety inspector.

Dismal Lapse

What does that even MEAN?


...

No, it's just METAL.


I once played with a band called Catbuster

We thought maybe there had been a misprint on the ticket and they were called "castbuster", you know like breaking a cast or mould or something, which makes a little more sense for a rock band.

But no, it was Catbuster.

from that rail transport safety guy


'The decision to instal battery powered signal next to the track.....

can only be seen as a DISMAL LAPSE in the light of yet another fatal rail accident'


Voting no

Not enough bands called The ______s or with punctuation in their names.


There was a gig in my town recently

bands included Mum locked in Castle, (Name in Brackets), Snakestyle and, perhaps my favourite, Goat Problems.


do snakestyle

sound like a buckcherry?
