Band Names

I'm forming an alt-rock/pop-punk band (my alt-metal band fell apart) and need a good name.

I have several ideas. Which one of these sounds the best:

•Wimposoaurus
•Restless Monkey Professors
•Ginger Express
•Hungry Red Fever
•Saturday's Clown Contest
•Minefield Business
•A Silly Peasant Miracle
•The Nasty Tuba Announcement
•Itchy Excessive Titans
•Strange Roadrunner Villains
•Morbid Neutron Motel
•Forsaken Clown Platform
•Wooden Firecracker Trustees
•Small Tea Vengeance
•Queasy Postal Gazette
•Rampant Tombstone Patrol
•Fierce Eardrum Contest
•Sad Mildew Engineers
•Dancing Psychotic Prank
•Devout Miserable Revision
•We Specialize In Random

These names are quite odd and wacky, but that's what alt-rock commonly is (in a good way, of course!).

Which one is your favorite.

Re: Band Names

Minefield Business

I have a band
Well kind of
I'm still learning to play the guitar and drums and whatnot but a few of my friends and I plan to start something as soon as I'm finished
One of my friends plays the bass guitar and the drums, one plays acoustic, one plays electric, and pretty much all of them can sing
I'm pretty sure we're gonna be called Sparkling Rainbow Avenue due to our lack of a better name

Re: Band Names

•Wimposoaurus - Sounds good for a nerdy electronic music band IMO
•Restless Monkey Professors - A bit odd. So no.
•Ginger Express - I like it. Would be good for rock or pop band
•Hungry Red Fever - This one is good. Same as above
•Saturday's Clown Contest - No comment.
•Minefield Business - Call a song that, but make it not about minefields or anything. Use metaphors.
•A Silly Peasant Miracle - I don't like it, no offense
•The Nasty Tuba Announcement - Er- okay...
•Itchy Excessive Titans - Did you use some random name generator?
•Strange Roadrunner Villains - NO. Please, no.
•Morbid Neutron Motel - ^
•Forsaken Clown Platform - What is with you and clowns
•Wooden Firecracker Trustees - ...
•Small Tea Vengeance - ...
•Queasy Postal Gazette - ...
•Rampant Tombstone Patrol - ...
•Fierce Eardrum Contest - Sounds good for heavy metal or hard rock.
•Sad Mildew Engineers - no
•Dancing Psychotic Prank - no
•Devout Miserable Revision - Sorry, no
•We Specialize In Random - AWESOME
But not for a band name.
ALBUM NAME! ITS A PERFECT ALBUM NAME.


My vote is Ginger Express. Call your first album We Specialize In Random. Call a song Minefield Buisness.


Can I give ideas too?

Yeah, that was a really good one.

It came from this band name generator, along with all of the others, except Wimposoaurus, Ginger Express, and We Specialize In Random.

I'm pretty sure that's been taken.

And I think it's more of a death metal band name than a alt-rock band name

Add an adjective

Final Doom
Red Doom

Or maybe the Doomed Cowboys

Here is some:

Guitar Buster
The Rhinos
Rock Sandwich
That's Not Joe
Full Speed Ahead
The Jokes
The Hippos
Not From Earth
Prank!
The Lemons

Some are weird, but that seems to be what you like.

Still sounds too metal-ish.

Alternative rock names consist of names that are often named after a place (Fountains Of Wayne, Linkin Park, Soundgarden) or just something random (They Might Be Giants).

Jump! Not huge on that one.
Reindeer Train Grandma got run over by a reindeer... LOL, good one.
Guitar Buster A little bit more on the metal side than the alt side.
The Rhinos [color=blue]It would sound epic with an adjective

Rock Sandwich Interesting...
That's Not Joe LOL.
Full Speed Ahead big_smile
The Jokes Not my favorite, personally.
The Hippos Again, would sound epic with an adjective
Not From Earth big_smile
Prank! At The Disco. Pretty good.
The Lemons Again, would sound epic with an adjective.

Some are weird, but that seems to be what you like.

My comment.  big_smile

Re: Band Names

Those names sound like they were somehow generated by a random band name generator of something. Anyway I liked these:

•Wimposoaurus
•Ginger Express
•Hungry Red Fever
•Minefield Business

These seem like short, memorable names (I seem to hate bands with ridiculously long names) to me.

Going back to our bands' discussion - I'm trying to form one as well, with me on either guitar or bass and vocals. I also play a really tiny bit of drums and keyboard  smile

I am the guitarist/singer in mine. We just need a bassist and if possible a rhythm guitarist. Our drummer's already taken care of.
