List the worst band names you've ever heard of, or not.

Guild Of Defiants was a band that asked my uncle to drum for them because he's a great drummer. He obliged and they played some shows and recorded an EP, I believe. They sounded like something Zane Lowe would rave about. Awful, awful name.

used to share a space with a band called septer of piss.

when i was in holland i met a band called droolgasm. great guys though.

we already had a thread like this, but...

heavy heavy low low and panic at the disco always come to my mind when i think of shitty band names.

Cardinal Rob · 07.10.2007, 01:55 PM

Mr. Bungle.

If they're not even good at naming themselves let alone their atrocious music, they must have a hell of a time getting dressed in the morning.

Rob Instigator · 07.10.2007, 02:01 PM

Mr Bungle is a children's educational film character from the 50's and 60's, who taught kids what NOT do do. Kind of like Goofus in the Goofus & gallant strips.
Mr Bungle was also used in aporno movie from which they got the sound samples off their first bungle album

"Mr Bungle, you smell so bad but you fuck so good."

In an infinite amount of time, all things will be repeated infinitely.

did someone say mr. bungle, our generation's greatest band, was ATROCIOUS? do you know nothing about music? where to begin with mr. bungle...

not only did they play every style of music FLAWLESSLY, they invented styles of music... mike patton, obviously the greatest vocalist ever, is the weakest part of the band. that's how good it is. trey spruance is probably the most underrated guitar player around. and his work in secret chiefs 3 proves he's just an unbelievably gifted musician.

mr. bungle were perfect. they had humor, talent, solid songwriting, and ... when you look at a band as INSANE as they are, for them to have "solid" songwriting is just unbelievable..

man.

i really.. i mean, i can see maybe someone hearing a little of mr. bungle's self-titled and going "yeah, i don't like it" but have you heard disco volante? it sounds like fucking cartoons playing hardcore music! and california is ... i mean, it's just great great music. nothing even remotely "annoying" about it at all. and definitely not attrocious!

jesus christ.

SHITDISCO comes in mind

the ikara cult · 07.10.2007, 05:54 PM

I disagree. That is all.

Shit names:
* Nearly every band you would expect Pitchfork to rave about.
* Most metal bands with names that are so obviously just a sad attempt at shocking people.
* Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right A B Start
* Dub Narcotic Sound System
* Deardarkhead
* Loney, Dear
* The Dear Hunter [NOT Deerhunter]
* Peter Bjorn and John
* Maroon 5 (and most things with a number in them)
* Basically anything with "Fuck" in it. Come on, now.
* tttttttttttttt [However many there are... one of the worst names ever...]

Yeh... indie-rock/experimental has THE WORST band names.

The Fucking Champs is a great band name, too bad they suck.

pokkeherrie · 07.10.2007, 08:19 PM

"Clap Your hands and Say Yeah"
With a name like that you already know they suck before even hearing any of their music.

Also, apparently there's a band called "Does it offend you, yeah?". I haven't heard their music and I don't need to. They suck.
