3. Futility of life

4. Obscure religous refrences

5. Delving a bit into the occult

6. Love (if it exists)


So we have come too four name potentials. Our choices have been narrowed down to,

-Casual Obsession

Sorry, but that sounds like a band that would be called "We sound like we're just following the trends"

Maybe "So Yesterday"

Regarding the style, maybe "Bleeding Ears"[/flame]

serious options might be:
1. Crawling Upward (or, alternatively, Crawling Downward)
2. Blind Action
3. Random Numbers

Some suggestions:

Trebuchet Guevara

Animathanatos (that's Latin for soul and Greek for death baked together in a lingual casserole)

Death's Too Good (stolen from Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz)

The Unannounced

Tortured Logic (evocative of your attempted genre)

Living Out Of Spite

Catastrofeel ("darkly clever")

Homo Dissectus (you'll get a good cutting audience...)

Prader Willi (...for those who'd rather not use utensils)

Repaid in Barf (an adapted line from Heathers)

More O's (get it?)

Melon Collie Babies

Depress To Play

The Downward Spiral Cut Hams

Photon Torpordoes

Antizac

Tired of Ursa Minor (another borrow from Douglas Adams, who wrote about a magazine that featured an article headlined "When You Are Tired of Ursa Minor, You Are Tired of Life" -- and how the suicide rate in the constellation tripled after its publication)

The Timewasters

Undue (or perhaps Undo?) Diligence

Beigelisted (pun on "blacklisted", but "beige" from how Jill Sobule described life on meds: "I used to live under a gloomy cloud of grey / but now the sun is out and my whole world is beige...")

Distractor Trailer

Hot Dystopic

Darker Than Hue

Generic Rebel #666

That sounds suffeciently deep to set people wondering if you thought about it at all, and the 666 appeals to the psuedo-satanist crowd.

That or you could resort to the tried and true method adopted by scores of bands down the ages.
First, get two hats. Or buckets. Hollow cylinders of some sort, suffeciently large to fit paper scraps in.
Now get some paper scraps.
Write down all the verbs you can think of. Put them in one hat.
Now write down all the nouns you can think of. Put them in the other hat.
Draw pairs of words from each hat until satisfied.

If you're feeling up to it, add more hats for other parts of speech..

So just let me get this strait. You want to be a mixture of random extreme's of the genre rock 'n roll? Emo's, all need to figure out if their gunna jump to just fucken jump already or for gods sake quite cryin about your cheatin' slut of a girlfriend...god just be a man...(Hed Pe Refrence)Screamo's...ummm now thats just innappropriat and their the one's that hopfully will jump (Off the hypothetical cliff of suicide).

No what you could do, to side-step being apart of the for some reason overly emotional genre of popular music, is play just music and allow the critics to place you in a genre...

I really have no good band name...for something so diseased as that kind of music it deserves no name (Hell might as well just call yourselfs "Going with the crowd")

Hmmm, how 'bout "Fluffy Joy Pumpkins"?

My college band was "Richard Cranium and the Novocaine Brains" We thought about changing that to "Nekkid" but felt too modest about our stage presence..

My neighbor is considering "Pudding and Sushi"

A great band at my college was called "Vomit Launch" mmmmm.

"Post Birth Abortion"

Later albums would be in no particular order:

"Directly From Mianus"

"There's No End To Mianus"
"Come Visit Mianus"
"Spending Time in Mianus"
"Bleeding From Mianus"
"Mianus Burns"

While Trebuchet Guevara sounds good, it doesnt really make much sense does it? Unless it's not suppose to.
Which, given the current state of band names these days, i gather making sense is the last of the priorities.

It's wordplay. It's not strictly on-topic, but it is interesting - and at least it's not just another generic "the-something" band.

Like I said though, while I like it - it's not my preferred of those offered so far.

"Paper Street Soap" (if you don't get the reference, you basically suck)

Trust me, there's nothing basic about how I suck.

Best car commercial ever...for the oddest car.

I had an idea for a band here in Connecticut. I would have several of the band members from the town of Mianus(pronounced My Anus), Connecticut. ((It was even featured on an early episode of 'Jackass'))

The band would be named after the town; Mianus

The first album would be called, "Evacuating Mianus". The follow-up album would be called, "Songs From Mianus"

Later albums would be in no particular order:

"Directly From Mianus"
"Mianus Loves You"

I'm not a fanboy. I've seen that movie in its entirety once. At his probable age, though, he should get the reference. I don't claim to be vastly superior to anyone, I just expect people to retain a little bit of knowledge. If you think getting that reference makes someone a fanboy, you're the one with an arrogance problem.
