There's just the two of us, like all the best bands. I suppose we have a kind of isis meets total doom style. I'll put it on the net some time.

Have no idea about the name (what were your inspirations? or where they random?) but you gotta love Isis :D

Well come on, which is cooler. I like dr shnola personally. Inspirations? I'm inspired by wildlife mainly, i like trees and epic things.

Hrm, Oxford Circus is the one I prefer.
It's funny though, the name "Oxford Circus" makes me think of a post-rock band, and "Dr. Shnola" makes me think of IDM.

Also i'm curious to know if anyone on ns has a band, and any of their material on the net?

Yeah, Oxford circus definatly sounds like a hydra head band. Thats why i prefer Dr Shnola. Its kind of like Dr shrinker but funnier sounding. I like a name thatsfunny as its the absolute opposite of our music.

I don't have a band, and I don't have any material up, but I do have an ambient track I'm a bit proud of on my hard drive.

Oxford Circus sounds more like a band name but if you want something more original (and if you like it better) then I'd go with Dr Shnola.

The vocals remind me a bit of Devo, oddly enough.
The song's not bad, even with the odd lyrical subject...

Does it load the page?
Did you click on the icon in the top right with the diskette on it?

Best way to get an avant-garde sounding band name is to open a dictionary to a random page and throw a dart at it. Repeat until you have whatever number of words you want.
Hey, if it worked for Dadaism, it can work for you.
Except I don't think they used darts, but whatever.

I would say either Hoy Te Amo, Ze Grey Ninjas, or BurritoBlaster, But me and my friends have already taken those.

Anywho, I like the sound of Dr. Shnola. It has a nice ring to it.

I said Dr Shnola, because it was clearly the better of the two listed.

But still, I stick with 'Switch Seven' for the best band name of all. That one cannot be denied. :p

You ought to see a doctor about all this vommiting, it surely can't be healthy.

And youve spattered all over your shoes, might want to clean that up - it smells rather awful. :)
