The Boomtown Rats. They did put out some bangers (Bob Geldof being a shitheel aside), but what the fuck is that name?!

It's from Woodie Guthrie's autobiography, it was the name of the boyhood gang Woodie was in. The name of that book is Bound For Glory and it was co-written with a Mr J Jarrett.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some of the above is not true. Though having This Belt Kiils Fascists scrawled on the TNA title belt would have scared the shit out of the Harris Twins.

Me and a few mates formed a band when we were around 14/15. It lasted about two weeks, none of us could play an instrument or had any musical talent whatsoever, but that didn't stop us coming up with a name complete with a band logo and full of ideas that we were going to take over the world.

We were called The Charm Offensive.

It makes me smile a little everytime I think back to it. What the fuck were we thinking.

I was in a band (Pre Hulk)that we told people were a covers band but we only covered songs that we wrote. So every time we wrote a song, we’d have to come up with a band name to attach to it. My absolute favourite was “Matt Bellend And Me (Featuring Matt Bellamy)”

Minor Crimes feels like it should be a band name. Probably has been one.

Probably what a few keffers have to sign a register for.

Death Cab For Cutie is an awful name. 

named after a song by the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band who, as much as I love Vivian Stanshall, are another all-time shit name of the "almost embarrassing to say out loud to someone who hasn't heard of them before".

They're not too bad, but the absolute worst band name of the current crop is Psychedelic Porn Crumpets. Dire.

[Merzbow]

Ninja Sex Party is awful and being a comedy band doesn't excuse the lolrandom name, it's a shame as Brian seems like a great guy but I could never listen to them just because of that.

What’s the correct pronunciation of M83. Em eight three? Em eighty three? And as a point of being correct, what about Blink 182, so I can say “Blink 182 are shite” one eight two? One eighty two? I think I might stick with Blink one hundred and eighty two.

In a darts voice obviously.

I'm pretty sure it's M83 as if it were a motorway. 

When I was in college and uni I was in a couple of bands with dubious names. Melted Goldfish, 2by6.5 (there were 13 of us, it was everybody in our year group), Threshold Of Dave, and Suicidal Bunnies. I was also part of a  European hair metal band called Unicron for one of the performance assessments. After I moved home I joined my mate's band, Turgid, and was also in a Ramones cover band called Pinhead, who reverted to their original form: Boredom and kicked me out in favour of their original bass player. 

Another mate and I called ourselves Leather, Murder, Mayhem, YEAH! (affectionately known as LMMY) after some grafitti he once saw on a wall in Birmingham.

We thought of trying to make some dance tunes under the name The Dingle Brothers, and also thought of working on some electro versions of some of the punk stuff we did in Boredom before we got kicked out under the names Sparemen Of The Bored. 

Finally another mate and I wanted to do tunes using the Simpsons inspired name Battling Seizure Robots, and I contemplated 2 possible DJ names should I ever be arsed to do some mixes again: Renowned Sex Offender, or Cesar Romero's Moustache.

Awful, I know.

One I heard of, local Scottish band when I was up there, that still tickles me but appreciate its a shite name but Hot Man Goo is an awful name really.

[TheScarlettChad]

Anal Cunt is truly awful. 

Most "edgy" heavy metal band names are shite, as is the music. 

[westlondonmist]

Bands that have their name(S) then the word Project after it. 

[SuperBacon]

Just had a flashback of me as a vocalist for a nu metal band called dOsE. 

We played one gig. We covered Bombtrack and then I literally ran from the venue and never spoke to 2 of them ever again.
