steventangent Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I wouldn't have listened to Yuck, but they were on the radio. I heard the band before I knew the name. And their record is so good. The name is only partially redeemed because they wrote a song called "Suck." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topher Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 No Puscifer references yet? "Donkey Punch The Night" is a solid 3/5 once you stop laughing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greystash Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I almost wrote off the band TOY but I checked them out because the rest of the line up at Paredes de Coura was pretty weak. What a great band! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youinreverse Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I'm glad that I gave "An So I Watch You From Afar" a chance, but man, I hate their name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caninesapien Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Shitty band names please, replies with links to the band are good. The band doesn't have to suck, but it's good if they do, so fill your boots. Here's one, this is a local(ish) band.

WastedL1ght Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Now, Now (Love their music, but the name sounds stupid to me.) We Are The In Crowd (Not really a fan of both, their music and their name.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Every time this topic come up, I have to mention Underground Railroad to Candyland. Worst name, best jams. Also this video rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Every time this topic come up, I have to mention Underground Railroad to Candyland. Worst name, best jams. Also this video rules. Never been able to really get into any of Todd C's bands. It's just a whole lot of OK material to me, but nothing that really stands out. When Toys that kill opened for Teenage Bottlerocket seemed like Ray had to come out and start singing along and banging his head for anyone to really care about what they were doing on stage.

Guest Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 It took me a real long time to get into them. They're definitely "out there" as far as pop-punk etc. goes so I can understand the disconnect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Everything Todd does is gold imho. Early F.Y.P is the best... That said, my contributions are: The World Is A Beautiful Place... Touche Amore Plus any band names that are mssng vwls or other klever spellingz of stuhf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caninesapien Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I'll say it. Brand New. The name alone doesn't make me cringe like other bands' shitty names, but coupled with the music then I think it's just crud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aflycon Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! yet. I've never listened to their music, but I'd put money on them being shit. moonbeams and eskimosnow27 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sacredheart Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Ive always hated the name Megadeth, it is just trying too hard to be metal, but dammit if they arent great. Murder By Death turned me off for about a year or two with a dumb name, then I finally heard them when Who Will Survive... came out and was blown away by how good they were and how much they werent a shitty hardcore band. Also Texas is the Reason because they sound nothing like you would expect a band named that song to sound like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caninesapien Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 http://boards.vinylcollective.com/topic/67776-writing-off-bands-with-stupid-names/ cool thanks. I search the board but wasn't exactly what to look for because "shitty" was the word in my mind Not what I expected, but still pretty shitty. yeah that sucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aych Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 We Butter The Bread With Butter. Probably one of the worst band names I've heard in a long time. If not ever. Also, it's German metalcore. Take that as you will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horrorbusiness138 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I always thought "Yeah Yeah Yeahs" was a dumb band name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacredheart Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I was at a festival put on by radio show once and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs were playing so I left the stage area and walked around and got some food. I happened to be walking by the stage again when they were getting off the stage. Karen O came up to me and asked if I wanted her autograph, she seemed really disappointed when I said no I didnt like her band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
