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

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

whitney from mtv's the city (tpp), Tuesday, 25 January 2011 10:06 (thirteen years ago) link

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

trv kvnt (some dude), Tuesday, 25 January 2011 13:42 (thirteen years ago) link

it's just his personal brand - deal with it

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

beaty heart

straightola, Tuesday, 25 January 2011 15:34 (thirteen years ago) link

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

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

Fetchboy, Sunday, 27 February 2011 15:17 (thirteen years ago) link

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

Telephoneface (Adam Bruneau), Sunday, 27 February 2011 17:09 (thirteen years ago) link

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

some dude, Sunday, 27 February 2011 17:23 (thirteen years ago) link

bleak end at bernies is kinda lol tbh

Personal and the Pizzas

i really love this name

aluminium fail (electricsound), Thursday, 14 April 2011 03:44 (thirteen years ago) link

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

sarahel, Thursday, 14 April 2011 03:56 (thirteen years ago) link

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?"

bamcquern, Thursday, 14 April 2011 14:29 (thirteen years ago) link

^sarahel missing the point as per usual

jesus

some dude, Thursday, 14 April 2011 14:35 (thirteen years ago) link

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

some dude, Thursday, 14 April 2011 14:35 (thirteen years ago) link

Snuffaluffagus is eternal!

sarahel, Thursday, 14 April 2011 15:59 (thirteen years ago) link

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?
