Good Band Name Ideas: A Band Ain't A Band Unless You Have One
Need Awesome Band Name Ideas?
Welcome to my huge list of band name ideas.
This list was actually started several years ago when four friends and I bought some used musical instruments at a garage sale—we were convinced we were going to be the next Rolling Stones or AC/DC. Even though we sounded terrible, we spent hours trying to come up with a good name for the band and our little notebook became quite full of possibilities.
Certain things happened in our lives that derailed that dream (fate, perhaps), but I kept the notebook as a memory. Years later, I found it while digging through some things, and those memories came pouring back. Now, instead of throwing the band names back into storage, I've decided to share them with the rest of the world. I hope visitors will find this article useful and while you may not find the perfect band name, maybe the least you'll get from the list is some inspiration to come up with a good name. After all, any band knows that a band ain't a band unless it has a good name, right?
Good luck!
Feel free to add "the" in front of any of the band names below, make them plural, or put numbers in front of or behind them. Experiment.

A band name must be something really wierd to hear in peoples ears.
These were the final names that we didnt use.
"Screamin Semen"
"Socially Misaligned"
"Missile Pushers"
"Anatomic Flaws"
"APB"
"Mind Pop"
"Psycho Down"
"Soul Psychos"
Make sure bandmates agree on any name you choose, dont be changing it once your know as it.
Your band name should fit your attitudes and your genre.
Peace
