Band names you will never use

What's Hot

edited August 2023 in Off Topic
I doubt I'm the only person here whose ability to come up with AWESOME band names vastly outweighs their ability to form bands. Thus I invite you all to join me in donating any unused hand names to the forum in general.

Void Ratio - a quantity from material science, perhaps befitting an industrial-proggy-metal-step affair
Rainbow Apocalypse - ideal for vague strummy indie songs-about-feelings (cf Colon), or hair metal
Trumpets Of Asgard - inspired by Assassin's Creed Valhalla, thus perfect for an ambient Viking soundscapes project.

What have you?

    Can't sing, can't dance, can handle a guitar a little.

    I came up with "Nose to the Bacon Slicer" when I was 17. Didn't have the means to form a proper hard-core crossover thrash band, though.  :/
    And they said that in our time, all that's good will fall from grace, even Saints would turn their face, in our time.

    My wife ran a group of late teen girl group who disgraced themselves by being caught drawing large graffiti Penis' on the interior walls of a council building where they were performing;
    The band was called Ruby and the Dolphins
    after a brief altercation with the local police and council which was smoothed over she re-named them Ruby and the Dildos .

    A drummer I knew at uni really wanted to call our band 'Auspice', because it was a bit proggy and sounded like 'Horse Piss'.

    It didn't catch on. Although, when I Googled it, it now appears that there is a band called that.

    It's not a competition.

    I’d never use The Lost Prophets.  

    My unused, teen, early 90s indie band name was The Plateau. Always fell a bit flat

    We were known as Executive Relief (aka by the bassist as Soapy Tit Wank).  Didn't last long ;)
    Imagine something sharp and witty here ......
