Awful band names

That Petrol Emotion

Never heard any music from this outfit made up of ex-Undertones, but their name truly was shite.

[alan nagsworth]

See, That Petrol Smell would have been perfectly acceptable

[jenna appleseed]

Spock's Beard

Dragonforce

The Goo Goo Dolls

Cradle Of Filth

Arcade Fire would be a shit name if they weren't so great & The Thrills would be a fucking great name if it was attached to an exciting band (prob garage/punk)

[weaseldust]

i think tinie tempah is a stupid name because it could be spelled so many different ways. like krazee-eyez killa

'can' is an awkward name because it means i can't find any videos of theirs on youtube

i think jelly roll morton is an awesome name, as is klaus wunderlich although i think that's just the guy's name.
also i have a couple compilation cds of insane electronic music by wrong music which includes great names such as: dj psylage, binray, sibling, dj fuckin' terrible, clarence palmer, roger species (the last two sounding like brass eye names to me)

[Famous Mortimer]

One of those CDs features out very own djtrees, I seem to recall. I love those band names too.

The band I was in as a young lad was called My Dad's Tight Jampot.

And a friend of mine's into a bunch of dreadfully-named bands which all have animals in their names, for some reason:  Fukpig, Pig Destroyer and my personal favourite Horsebastard.

Apparently the secret formula is:
Animal Name + Something Vaguely Unpleasant = Br00tality 666

The band I was in as a young lad was called My Dad's Tight Jampot.

It's funny that you posted that because I was just about to add another to the list, Manchester metal band My Wooden Pillow.

I don't know what to make of it though because it's a metal band, and 'awful band names' are kind of the point when it comes to metal bands. So maybe metal bands should have immunity.
