Forming your own band isn’t an easy thing to do these days. You have to find people of similar musical tastes, who also share your bizarre fashion sense and the haircut your parents hate, and you need to have a name for your band.
How some of these band names are made fascinates me. The following list contains names of real bands, bands with seemingly random names, names which appear to have been chosen by mashing words together.
- Arctic Monkeys
- The Stone Roses
- Inspiral Carpets
- Cobra Starship
- Blind Melon
- Stone Temple Pilots
- The Smashing Pumpkins
- Toad The Wet Sprocket
- Bowling for Soup
- Lawnmower Deth
