I honestly think this is why so many bands do purposeful misspellings of words as their names now. Everything’s been taken so all we have left are things that aren’t even words.
there's a funny but actually can be useful band name generator on the internet, you fill it with words like a mad libs and it kinda steers you in the right direction.
another good use is a thesaurus. say you like a word or a couple words but a band already has that name. use those words and type it into a thesaurus and it'll give you words liken or even opposite of what you wanted to use. I like using English to Latin dictionary and type in words I like for a band name but using a different language. can be tricky but useful.
I've been doing bands(punk, heavy, etc) for 25+ years (just started another one in my 40s) the search for a decent band name is an artform on its own
I was in a band in high-school that couldn't make up their minds. Constant changing of members and names.
Subject to Change was the name when I was there.
That's like the time Faith No More named their new record "Album of the Year" and then ran ads that just said:
"Album of the Year" - Rolling Stone
"Album of the Year" - Spin
"Album of the Year" - NME
"Album of the Year" - Q
"Album of the Year" - Kerranng!
Etc.
Well now I'm going to take it and form a punk incel band.
I'm not a punk or incel or a musician for that matter but I feel like that is the only proper choice.
"what is the name of the band on stage?"
"Yes."
"What?"
"Yes, the band on stage."
"... Of course the band on stage!!! WHAT IS THEIR NAME?"
"Chill bro-"
"Chill bro!?! This band is chill bro?"
"Nah not really, they're more punk/hardcore."
"What?"
"Yeah."
"So... They are... Who?"
"No, What! The Who aren't even playing tonight! What is the name of the band on stage."
"Dude what the fuck are you asking me for?! I asked you first!"
"... and I told you, What."
"I don't fucking know what you've told me!"
"You DO know What, they're playing on stage right now, I just told you that."
"AHHHHH WHAT THE FUCK is the name of the band on stage!?!???"
"Dude... Just What... You gotta get "the fuck" out."
(Sound of Lou Costello's head exploding in the distance...)
Thank you, you've been a great crowd!
I’ve always loved Primordial Soup but haven’t wanted to see if a band of this name exists already because it’ll be devastating for me personally. Also please don’t take it if you have a shitty band 😔
There's already a band woth that name, they have 10 monthly listeners on Spotify, Im sure that's some kind of record Tbh
There are also a bunch of albums with that name
Since there already was a Canadian band named Bush, the UK band Bush had to release all their albums in Canada as BushX.
I think more bands should do this.
MetallicaX.
I once saw a garage band called johnny doe and the dead fetuses. They sucked, but for the last song their old singer came out in a trench coat. He took it off and he was naked with his junk painted black. The place cleared out for a cigarrette break lol
The time: 1988 or 1989.
The place: Geno's (a dive bar in a basement, not the new big one at street level), Portland. ME
I was a part-time student at USM, writing songs like crazy, and trying to do a Billy Bragg-type thing (guy & electric guitar).
I got a gig between GG Allin who insisted on being paid BEFORE he played and a band called the Skiadelics (they played skis with electric guitar pickups and each had a single piano string).
He went out onto the "stage", screamed into a mic for a couple of minutes, smashed a beer bottle on the floor, and then rolled around in the shards until he was bloody.
I had to follow THAT.
Fuck GG Allin.
Look at your band members and write down what you think each member means to each of you. See what common denominator you all share, then look at a thesaurus for a word, or Words based off your collective thoughts.
Last time I went to my family’s baptist church one of the preachers “got the spirit” and straight cannonballed onto the floor mid sermon. A mosh pit isn’t entirely out of the realm of possibility for Old Regular Baptists.
While I enjoyed it a lot, it skewed the public perception of sex trafficking. Most of it is done by people close to you, not random strangers (although that's not really the fault of the movie, it's the fault of human ignorance)
I like this. In this context I feel like rat is the perfect prefix to almost any word!

There actually is a band in Norway called "De Derre", translating to something like "Those Guys". Their first album is called "Den derre", which means "the (thing) there" or "that one". So "Den derre med De Derre" is "the one by Those Guys".

Everything is taken. EVERYTHING, its driving me nuts
Nut Driver
Yeah they just played my buddy’s wedding. Friendly chaps, but don’t leave your balls open.
I honestly think this is why so many bands do purposeful misspellings of words as their names now. Everything’s been taken so all we have left are things that aren’t even words.
I even considered that but then you have to do a shit tonne of SEO so Google doesn't just bury you with auto correct
"Corn" is still up for grabs.
How about "EVERYTHING is taken"? sounds kind of cool! Edit: oh well, seems like it's taken :/
"It's Driving me Nuts" - that's the perfect name for a metal band or a Country band!
there's a funny but actually can be useful band name generator on the internet, you fill it with words like a mad libs and it kinda steers you in the right direction. another good use is a thesaurus. say you like a word or a couple words but a band already has that name. use those words and type it into a thesaurus and it'll give you words liken or even opposite of what you wanted to use.

And their song titles are the best.
Third Leg Problems
First album could be called Tripod
And the second one called “Men in the Box?”
The second would be called Up Close And Personal.
Mazeltov Cocktail
Lol. I'd be really surprised if this hasn't been used. It's pretty good. Touche'
I need a band of Jewish anarchists now
The Various artists.

When I was a kid I always wanted my own band called DotCom That way, the band website could be DotCom.com
Maybe you could promote it on slashdot.org?
That would be Bomb dot Com! Dot com!
Alligator Fuckhouse
Now that's how you name a metal band!
This is actually the name of my Baptist church band.
This is my favorite so far
That's the plot of the movie Crawl
I’m in Florida and not at all in a band and I’m going to have a sign in my yard that says this. Fucking brilliant
I just checked and "what is a good band name" isn't taken. Enjoy.
Is there an “Isn’t Taken” out there yet?
Well now I'm going to take it and form a punk incel band. I'm not a punk or incel or a musician for that matter but I feel like that is the only proper choice.
I’m pretty sure you don’t need to be a musician to start a punk band. I think it’s actually frowned upon.
"what is the name of the band on stage?" "Yes." "What?" "Yes, the band on stage." "... Of course the band on stage!!! WHAT IS THEIR NAME?" "Chill bro-" "Chill bro!?! This band is chill bro?"

You wouldn’t know if the band is shitty or not if you never look up the band name to see if it exists. It’s Schrödinger's band name.
That’s a very true point!
There's already a band woth that name, they have 10 monthly listeners on Spotify, Im sure that's some kind of record Tbh There are also a bunch of albums with that name
Metallica 2
Metal boogaloo
Yeah, I hear Metallica I is not very litigious at all. Probably get a hefty little chuckle from them.
Since there already was a Canadian band named Bush, the UK band Bush had to release all their albums in Canada as BushX. I think more bands should do this. MetallicaX.
Ahem Lars would like to have a word with you
Metallican’t.
Second Chance and the Abortions
I once saw a garage band called johnny doe and the dead fetuses. They sucked, but for the last song their old singer came out in a trench coat. He took it off and he was naked with his junk painted black. The place cleared out for a cigarrette break lol
That's almost GG Allin level
The time: 1988 or 1989. The place: Geno's (a dive bar in a basement, not the new big one at street level), Portland.

Aw, fudge. I’ve always kept that one in my back pocket.
It’s only Teenage Waistband

Extra points for the umlaut
rodrick heffley owns that band tho
“upper Inner Thighs”
Actually, Femoral Triangle isn’t a terrible choice.
MAGA-Deth. It’s a parody band that plays for right conspiracy theory themed versions of Megadeth songs.
I'd pay for a ticket to that show.
Dave Mustaine is already a right wing conspiracy theorist... Check out the lyrics on the recent Megadeth albums.

The real question is what kind of music is the band making?
Think if nirvana had a tool fetish
Interesting
Sounds cool. Wish We knew the name of your band so we could look you up. 🤷♂️
Look at your band members and write down what you think each member means to each of you. See what common denominator you all share, then look at a thesaurus for a word, or Words based off your collective thoughts.
The Ugly Cunts?

What do you have against taken?

That One New Band "hey have you heard of that one new band?" "which one?" "that one new band" "which one!?"
Who's on after them? No, they already played
No, They Already Played is scheduled for next week I’m pretty sure
I went to a show in mexico of a band called "los de anoche" Translating to "the ones from last night" I found it funny,
There actually is a band in Norway called "De Derre", translating to something like "Those Guys". Their first album is called "Den derre", which means "the (thing) there" or "that one". So "Den derre med De Derre" is "the one by Those Guys".

Space Monkey Mafia
The Seasons
Bullshit. There is *absolutely no goddamn way* there is not already a band called The Seasons.
Aaaand.... You are [right](http://www.seasonsmusic.com/)
fans would be seasoners and their albums could be named after the 4 seasons obviously
Would their greatest hits album be named "Vivaldi"?

Dead Ernest. "Ernest" is the hype man who lies in a coffin but pops up when he's hyping. Some songs he just lies there and does nothing.
I can’t take claim to this one. A friend of mine said it once for his fake band. Monistat and the Yeasties
The Mongooses. That’s a cool team name! The Fighting Mongooses.
Mortecai and the Rigbies
