Okay, help me name my hardcore/emo/noise band, I'm thinking either Shades Crave Blood or tora!tora!tora!, take your pick. :)

'tora!tora!tora!' sucks, but so does emo. So it depends on how emo it'll be

Shades Crave Blood sounds like a bad metal band. I'd say go for something completely different, but I have no suggestions because I'm appalingly bad at coming up with band names (I was once in a band called "Just Some Sugarplum Hobos" :s)

Funny, there's a movie called Tora! Tora! Tora!

i always thought Urinal Spillage would be a good band name... i can see the album art now. eeeeewwwwww... :D

Why not take a leaf out of Tony Toni Tone's book, and call it:

"tora tore a torah!"

I take it we are talking good* emo here, and not bad** emo here, yes?

I'm not sold on either of those band names: the first sounds like a haircut-emo band, and the second sounds like a kid's first punk band. I could tell you some of the band names I have stashed away for future projects, but then I would have to kill you.

I feel so old! I don't even know what emo and noise are. Is that like when you turn on the tv but the cable is out...?

I'm more thinking Orchid, Circle Takes The Square, Mohinder meets Sonic Youth. But yes, good emo.

recommend to me some good emo so I can listen to it. And noise too!

Emo is hardcore that's introspective... usually twinkly parts and mellow singing contrasted with frantic screaming and wall of noise guitars.

By noise I'm mostly refering to Sonic Youth and Lydia Lunch style 'no-wave'.

Emo:

Orchid
Indian Summer
Moss Icon
At The Drive-In
Small Brown Bike
Envy - http://www.epitonic.com/artists/envy.html
The Moch Heroic - http://www.hxcmp3.com/bands/10887/index.php

What about somethine like Polka-Dot Bikini? Or is that too 50s

I'll be damned, Eutrusca. That's the first thing you've said that I actually liked. :D

As for my contribution to the discussion, how about I Ate Your Sister? It's disgusting on two levels.

The Tanks

There's already a band called tora! tora! torance! (init records).
And the second name is fucking stupid.

ROFLMFAO!!!!! Aaahahahahahahaha! :D

Of course, as a businessman, I will need 1% of all your gross income after the first million.

Okay, I'll stop annoying people. I don't know anything about this stuff, so I guess my opinion doesn't really count.

Or how about...... Amputee Pirate Sex

I recommend the name "Intelligent Design!" :D

I really wish i had of thought of that.

Call an emo band The Spoilt Rich Kids.... No one will ever know if you're being apt or ironic.

Or how about...... Amputee Pirate Sex

[RADIO VOICE]

And coming up next we have Intelligent Design with their new harcore single Amputee Pirate Sex

[/RADIO VOICE]

Has a ring to it I feel

Emo, eh? So...a three word name? :p

"Kitten Black Magic"
"Dead Aztec Gods"
"The Morning After Project"
"Armpit Yellow Stain"
"Sunday Youth Apocalypse"

:p

Okay, help me name my hardcore/emo/noise band, I'm thinking either Shades Crave Blood or tora!tora!tora!, take your pick. :)

Here's some names of groups I was in. All of these groups are long-defunct, and none of the names are copyrighted, so feel free to use them.

What 4? (Only works if the group has four people)
Hard Rock Bottom (it later became the name of a song by Randy Travis. I'd sue, but we didn't copyright the name)
Cellophane Mustache (it was the 60s, OK?)
"The" (we thought we were being very clever with that one)
The End (after the song by the Doors)

Have fun!

You should name your band Kissy Boots

Alright, can't be stuffed reading the backposts. Here's how it goes.

Name your band REM, rent a hall. On the day of gig hand out fliers to businesses saying "REM tonight only for the people of this great town/suburb" or some other suckup. Long story short, make sure door takings are safe, walk out on stage just to see the stupid look on the audiences face. Do a song then bolt as the lavatory falls on them and they realised they've been scammed. Buy new instruments, equipment, and studio time for whatever you name your actual band. Or go to the pub.

U2 works a treat for the yuppies business people who want to look socially aware. $120 tickets. Laughin'

As for what to call your band, doesn't really matter, stats say you won't make it a year, and if you're good people won't give a flying duck what you call youselves.

I was thinking more along the lines of "Flies Trap Venus"

I'm more thinking Orchid, Circle Takes The Square, Mohinder meets Sonic Youth. But yes, good emo.

That's a relief, I thought you might have crossed over to the dark side there.

'tora!tora!tora!' sucks, but so does emo. So it depends on how emo it'll be

Emo doesn't suck. There is just a lot of bad "emo" out there. I'm a fan of emo, provided that isn't all the same crap again and again.

By noise I'm mostly refering to Sonic Youth and Lydia Lunch style 'no-wave'.
I wouldn't call them noise bands, but rather no wave (or for SY's weirder early noodles 'no age').

I'd reserve the term 'noise' for bands like 7 Minutes Of Nausea, Merzbow, KK Null, Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music, Whitehouse, Wolf Eyes, American Music Association and their ilk.

That's a relief, I thought you might have crossed over to the dark side there.

Me? Never. ;)

I also called the 'noise' bands No Wave, did I not? :p

I couldnt be bothered reading EVERYBODY'S suggestions... But a friend of mine always wanted to call a band 'C*nt Gash' (not with the astrix, i was trying to be less offensive) not sure if he was joking.. probably better suited to a metal band :P but hey, you cud try it, or variations on the theme :p

There is already a band been around called 'The The' probably wouldnt look too clever if you chose this name now

There's probably a Anal **** ripoff grind band called that. :p

I also called the 'noise' bands No Wave, did I not? :p

You did, and I had no argument with that, but it was the description of them as noise bands that I took issue with. If we describe them as noise bands then we need another label for your Throbbing Gristles.

Not really, noise includes everything from musique concrete to powernoize to no-wave to any other non-musical soundart, no?

I just don't like it when the term is applied to noisy bands rather than noise bands - for example I have seen Big Black described as a noise band, but they have almost nothing in common with tempo-less, atonal, arhytmic real* noise bands.



* cf. 'No Real Scotsman' fallacy.

Emo doesn't suck.
yes it does.

P.S: the lot of you have no idea what "Noise" is.

Shades Crave Blood sounds like something that popped out of a random punk/goth/crappy band name generator; at least Tora!Tora!Tora! is original in its own way :D

How about "Tora! Tora! Toasted!" :D

How about you make an acronym that is completely unexplained, it might get people to think about your band a little more. Something like K.O.T.A.M. or something.

I have a couple of mad suggestions to go with your Soviet name in this forum. "The Days Of Stalin", "The Red Star", "Red Square Bloodlust", "Broken Alarms Of The Corrupt".

But Shades Crave Blood is a reference to Homer. :p

Oh, and a BUMP for attention.

I've had "The Useful Gits" in the back of my mind as a good band name for a while now, every since I asked myself if there could be such a thing as a useful git, or does gitness preclude utility?


other names?

Deprived Masochists

Yodelling Underwater

Dagon's Bastard (Dagon's Stepchild)

Tequilla Aftermath (or Absinthe Memories)

I'd Rather Fuck Sand

I give this one my approval!

How about The Forever Endeavours?

tora!tora!tora! sounds good, but its more like an albumn name then a band name.

Another case of someone ripping off my idea. Should've copyrighted "the" name. :p

"Lack of habitat"?

I've come up with some more:

Pacts Made On Valium
This Will Be The Death Of Us

The The formed in 1979, I hope you had it before then. :p

Actually, my group had only one "The." The experiment lasted only a month, as we found it was too hard to get bookings under that name, so we changed it to "Hard Rock Bottom." This was in 1969. :)
