Not as visceral as a lot of the other options, but it is very annoying when bands (especially smaller bands) formed in the last 15-20 years choose names that make it difficult to find their music online. Saw a band as openers once called “1,2,3”. Similar for bands choosing very simple words like “Apartment”, “Paint”, or “Basement”. Even bigger bands like “Shame”, “Wednesday”, and “Idles” are tricky IMO.
Name your band whatever you want, of course, but understand the consequences of your actions!
Not technically a band but I have always thought the DJ called ‘Breakfast’ was a terrible choice
There’s a punk band who were called Slaves. After a free years of people saying “are you sure that’s the name you want to go with, being a couple of white guys?” They decided no they were not and changed it to Soft Play
There was a brief time when Tommy Chong was on a band under the name “4 N*'s and a C*,” and every now and again I remember that fact and think “What the actual fuck was he thinking.”
Probably “Band”
Milky Chance
Lots of problematic song titles too.
My favourite is “I rescpect your feelings as a woman”
How about Shitmat? Great music but hard to tell people about it.
I heard a song by an indie band called Purulent Vagina.
It sounded exactly how you’d expect it to.
Hoobastank
Jimmy Eat World should be part of the conversation due to their acronym.
Who ever called them J.E.W.? Or when did they ever use that acronym themselves?
Perhaps tried to and then realised
Cherry Poppin’ Daddies
I like the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies tribute band, the Hymen Bustin Fathers
But they played at the Super Bowl halftime show once so they are okay /s
Did they really? That may have been peak 90s
They’re still touring, too!
queen is actually a bunch of guy
That played concerts at sun city in apartheid south Africa and have heavily glossed over the fact afterwards
Next you’re gonna tell me The Police isn’t a group of cops
no they are real police, they watch every step you take
Oh honey, Freddie was a bigger Queen than Elizabeth, Danaerys, and Latifah rolled into one.
The band
