I seriously can't do it. I'm in a new band and everything we've come up with reminds me of something else, doesn't represent the mood of the lyrics/music, too wordy, or isn't that memorable...
I suppose I'm pretty picky when it comes to band names, there are very few that I really like, but this should be easier than it is. The last band I was in was in the same predicament and ended up getting shitfaced together one night and writing something on a beer-soaked napkin. I'm not really sure I was aware of the name at the time, but we all signed the napkin so the next day, it was final.
I guess I'm not really looking for suggestions, but maybe some ideas of where you guys have found band names. We have most of a demo done and we're looking to book some shows in the next week or two. I can't believe a name is all that's holding us back...
We're sort of a danceable indie rock band with singer that's been compared to "Hum, but with better pitch and sense of melody". Lyrics are kind of dark/brooding/discontent...I don't know. There are just so many contradictions right there...
I'm pouring over books, movies, songs, maps, everything...
