btw I think that is great

looks incredible

I think reading record reviews for these bands is worse than the worst band name. At least the band names are kinda funny. You want to talk 'creatively bankrupt'? How many times am I going to read 'sounds like a worn VHS tape' this week...?

Wow! 'Dream-pop'??!! Finally someone has put those ideas together!

How many times am I going to read 'sounds like a worn VHS tape' this week...?

also: their videos and album covers look like they're from worn out vhs tapes

enough already

he1go was proto-chillwave:

dj plain ole m@tt (upper mississippi sh@kedown) wrote this on thread THIS IS THE lol WHERE WE SUM UP ILX excelsiors SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO READ THEM on board I Love Everything on Jan 24, 2011

vas deferens was on the shortlist of names for my jr. high band, we ended up going with lethal weapon instead

our cover of "i hate myself for loving you" by joan jett was ahead of its time

ftr lizzie from summer camp is one of my oldest friends and i can honestly say that the guy (jeremy, in the wolf t-shirt) is one of the sweetest most un-ironic guys i've ever met

so he really loves wolves and America and saw the shirt and bought it thinkin "yes, this is what I'm about"?

it's just his personal brand - deal with it

lol

the only way that dude could be "unironic" is if he literally was a special ed student from 1986 instead of just dressing like one

saw a band called wet assed band with a table of xmas presents called beaty heart supporting teengirl fantasy on friday and though im not sure what it means they deserve to be here with bullets in the ass.

typing horror

um where does the band name begin & end?

beaty heart

wet assed band with a table of xmas presents called beaty heart supporting teengirl fantasy on friday is a better name.

Com Truise

tyler the creator listens to chillwave

i used to play in a metal band named after Zuul from Ghostbusters and i just realized this thread should make me feel a little guilty about that

BLEAK END AT BERNIES
KEENAN IVORY WAVES

The Zuul thing is forgivable. A pretty awesome metal name, btw.

haha thanks! we were always pretty psyched about the name tbh, and it fit the kind of silly/evil thing we were going for.

bleak end at bernies is kinda lol tbh

Personal and the Pizzas
Space Lions In Outer Space

Personal and the Pizzas

i really love this name

have you actually heard Personal and the Pizzas? Pretty sure they're not chillwave or sound like Animal Collective!

I might pick up the new personal and the pizzas single for you. The a side is great. The b side is basically "I wanna be your boyfriend" with a dollop of "do you want to know a secret?"

^sarahel missing the point as per usual

i just got an email for SNUFFALUFFAGUS

http://snuffaluffagus.bandcamp.com/

jesus

is it really too much to ask for bands to come up with names that make me hate them before i've heard a note of their music

Snuffaluffagus is eternal!

The name is even more awful because the Sesame Street character is Snuffleupagus, not Snuffaluffagus.

Maybe not ephemera, but is Dutch Uncles the least appealing name for a band on the planet?

maybe that's their clever copyright infringement dodge

dog latin, you must live a very charmed life for you to even think that!
