Got a demo tape by them back in the early '90s, though I can't remember a thing about it.

Lots and lots of metal bands with "gloomy" pseudo-Latin or otherwise "poetic" names (Altaria, Apocalyptica, Solitude Aeternus, On Thorns I Lay, Stratovarius, Dark Tranquility etc.).

Innit! It's a perfectly normal German word. Most of these clubs seem to have started in Germany anyway

Now don't you even try to claim that "Turbojugend" doesn't bring to your mind any connotations towards a certain Fascist regime and it's youth organization. "Jugend" is a perfectly normal German word, yes, but naming a fan organization "xxxx-Jugend" and making badges which bear that name is hardly innocent.

Also "Northern Uproar" did suggest boring meat 'n' 2 veg britrock of the most ZZZzzz-inducing sort. Fortunately.
As you can guess, I was most disappointed when I finally heard their tunes!
BTW In terms of "interesting" band names, I don't think you can get better at the moment than The Excrementory Grindfuckers!!!!!

I must disagree with something Dastoor said like 2 years ago: Soul Coughing is a wonderful band name.
A band I was in in high school once shared a bill with a band called Thunderchicken which was like the Screaming Trees but with Gavin Rossdale in place of Mark Lanegin.
