Re: Band names inspired by other Artists

Yes.

It may take a while as well. Hearing people over internet connections is traditionally quite difficult.

*puts on David Attenborough voice* "...and so, ThomFa will spend the rest of his life, as a mute. Surfing the web in silence, the child game of Jinx, has effectively made his life, pointless."

I recommend knicking something from your local groceries. THEN they'll scream your name.

Re: Band names inspired by other Artists

I can confirm that the Futureheads were indeed named after the flaming lips 'hit to death in the future head'.

This has been a public service broadcast for bored indie-rock fans everywhere. Thank you and good morning.

Sennen- Ride

see them live (Sennen) fucking immense. hopefully in a year they will be huge, tho they seem to be moving away from their pop stuff. they sound better going off on tangents but removes them from success i guess.
