Coolest Band Names?

[sodamntired]

You know...bands that make music as cool as their name.

 

I'll start with:

 

The (International) Noise Conspiracy

 

and

 

Atari Teenage Riot

 

 

ahem....continue...

[saturnine]

anal cunt.

[BaconFacedWilson]

I always though Nine Inch Nails was interesting

[EdJim]

Something about Dredg's name I've always liked. They make music just as cool as their name too.

[The_Rat_Who_Would_be_King]

If Matthew Good's name wasn't Matthew Good I think it would be a pretty funny band name.

[crazycanuck]

You Say Party! We Say Die!

Godspeed You! Black Emperor

...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead

My Bloody Valentine

Architecture in Helsinki

Sonic Youth

 

are all pretty cool names.

[saturnine]

the mars volta

death from above 1979

stabbing westward

rage against the machine

alice in chains

[Ravenous megin-sane]

death from above 1979 isnt a cool band name.

it's not even original, they had to add the 1979 because death from above was already a record company.

 

 

but anal cunt is cool. it takes the cake. we can stop this thread now.

[Lucas Punkari]

I always thought Zwan sounded cool, though somewhat retarted at the same time.

 

Really like The Mars Volta for a name and The German Art Students, a band out of Madison, Wisconsin.

limblifter

The Weakerthans

Coldplay

Weezer

Pearl Jam

[The_Rat_Who_Would_be_King]

good bands but i think those bandnames are kind of weak.

 

The Flaming Lips

Jamiroquai

Raising the Fawn

Coheed and Cambria

 

I agree with Zwan, at first you're like "wtf?!?!?!" and then you're like "wtf?" The Mars Volta sticks.

[little miss sunshine]

Killer Flamingos

Strangers with Candy

[mrs jesus]

there's a band called strangers with candy?

i want to be in that band

[little miss sunshine]

I actually only saw them on television on some amateur cover band competition a few years back. I remember loving the name.

 

I would SO take candy from a stranger. I mean...it's candy!
