14 DAY TRIAL // Now, I guess there isn't one guy on the face of the Earth who could tell, even roughly estimate the number of the bands, no matter if they are active or long-time buried. I first thought of saying some random number but I soon realized the impossibility of such an endeavor.
And from boys band to solo projects, from neoclassical music to the sickest brutal metal, every "assembly" must have a name. Now, there are names and names, depending on what their founders had in mind; some of them are really cool and some of them are completely stupid. Of course, there are a lot of commercial wannabe bands who go for the most un-inspired names as well as bands who just want to draw attention to them by means of ... names only.
I guess it would be funny as hell if someone did some short interviews with founding members of band with silly names, just to see what the heck was inside their minds as they settled for such crap.
Some cool guys thought they should gather up as many dumb band names as possible and show the world how laughable a band's name can be. This website is nothing more than a list of band names, some of which are linked to the actual band's websites so you can further enjoy the sickness and have dumb fun as well.
As I kept on reading from letter to letter (you need a hell of A LOT of time to read all names since it looks there are continuous updates added to the list), I found from long strings of names starting with the classic grindcore themes "anal", "rectal", "a**" and so on. As well, innumerable idiotic names about which I sincerely doubt they had something serious behind them: The Wrench Twisting Streetlickers, Thinking Fellers Union Local 282 or Heavy Pink Insulator.
I mean, OK, so you have a band (nobody cares how many members and what you play). You rehearse and gig and really want to make it big sometime in the future. Can you imagine the poster for a huge festival you're headlining? It is A0-big, in contrasting dark colored background and the name of your band is written in fiery red letters covering all the width of the paper: Hallelujah Ding Dong Happy. Well?
As for the end of this article, one more web resource with the same purpose: finding some name for your actual or future band, even songs and further on, dadaist lyrics. Just type in one word and buckle up as the word-engine will start producing the most useless, stupid, insane, nonsense, meaningless and unfit names you'd ever need. Using this website I got "Softpedia Fig and the Dripping Blame", "Dial Audio Editor and the Any Burrito " and "All My Readers Kiwi of the Heroic Rhyme". And you thought your band was sick, huh?
