Ummm ... this is the Critics Lounge?

Perhaps if you had a name already picked out, we could critique it for you.  But this forum isn't really for that kind of thing.


Also ... before we could, realisitically, suggest names for a band; we'd need to know a little about the band.  What type of music do you play, what are your influences, etc.

Though don't waste time answering that question yet ... I'm sure this is gonna get moved or locked!

Seeing as Radiohead took their name from a song on Talking Heads' True Stories, you could do the same.

Complete track listing:

1. Love For Sale
2. Puzzlin' Evidence
3. Hey Now
4. Papa Legba
5. Wild Wild Life
6. Radio Head
7. Dream Operator
8. People Like Us
9. City Of Dreams
10. Wild Wild Life (Extended Mix)

1, 2, 4, 7 and 8 would make good band names I think.

Edit: Or you could always go with 'Sonic Death Monkey'

I can't post our music as we only just formed. But our favourite idea so far is:

Second Fiddle

what u think?

sometimes, bands pick up names, from their songs, or favorite, bands, or a pink firdge (pink Floyd). Other than that, really if you just formed, I'm sure you'll find a name before you record, or compose maybe, any music.

The other band members, what do they think?

Second Fiddle, sounds definately not Radiohead like...

I can't really think of anything. When ages ago me and some friends formed a band, we didn't have a name, and were pretty lost with it. But a bit later, while I was working at a blacksmith's workshop for two weeks, somewhere in that time an idea just hit me, and the name I suggested was instantly approved by the others. Not long ago we found out that a band with such a name had already existed for a very long time, so we needed to change. I just wrote down a number of words I was sort of obsessed with (stuff that I try to shove everywhere, words of old English, and such), then I piecked two from that pile and put them in the best logical order, and there, our band has a name again. It's really not hard. An idea might hit you anytime, anywhere, when you least expect it. Or you might be on candid camera. Just pick a name you all like, not something half a forum off the internet can agree upon. ;)

Great name for a country/folk band.

Be sure to check your bandname ideas with the band name registry:

When you wrote "Indie Radiohead influenced band" I thought... well, that's a clever name for a band. It's honest and ironic. As a matter of fact, I'm going to learn to play some instrument just so I can form a band and call it exactly that..

After long deliberation - my project has been renamed to 2 Gender-confused Monkeys and a Dead Prostitute who Wanted to Become President.

Or... 2GCMAADPWWTBP for short.

It's such an easy name.
