The Comprehensive Spending Review
I don't think this would actually be that terrible a band name.
A friend of mine a looong time ago came up with 'Hedge' as an exemplar of a particularly boring band name, and I think it's pretty good.
Sadly I've also had a few friends who've named their bands things that I think are spectacularly boring, but I fear naming them on the internet in case of repercussions.

There was actually a band called Straw about 10 years ago. I do remember thinking "wtf are you thinking?" at the time.

haha bernard snowy is REALLY good at this
Fifteen years ago was the heyday of indie bands shooting for the most boring name possible. I think of the trajectory as The Smiths -> Big Black's t-shirts which looked like they were adverts for a tool manufacturer -> après Pavement, le déluge.

I quite like 'Bad Murder' and 'Maths'. Though I suspect the former, being a reference to a contemporary comedy series, would in actuality be a terrible student band. The second would be mathrock, obviously.
