ok.... i need help with.... band names!
2003-12-29, 7:32 PM #1
Right now is a critical time for my band. We're starting to actually be good enough to warrant spending money on a recording/press kit. We're considering changing our name before we do any of this just to avoid having to spend more money later...

Current Band Name: Schming

considering: Bloom or Bloom-something (not something, but we dont know what to add right now)

we sound similar to: travis, coldplay, radiohead, blur.... so Cannibal Corpse 2 is not a good choice for a band name

any thoughts? other names? dont post a huge list, I wont read more than 10 at a time.... i've seen you guys go crazy with this kind of thing before.

My band struggled with a name change a few months ago, it took us forever to find something we all agreed on (and wasn't already taken).

Serious ideas:
Revelations
Napoleon
Saint Cadence
Lost at Sea

That's all I can come up with at the moment. I'll see if I can find a list of the names we chose not to use.

The really hip band names all have some kind of meaning, so I don't think anyone here will be much help. I'd suggest 'The Schming (or whatever your real name is, I assume you don't go by "Schming" in reality) Big Band'... 'cause you're not a big band, and it's hip...

The guys who give their bands random cool-sounding words just look like they're trying too hard.

The best thing to do is to find something that you and your pals all find touching or moving to you. Then you can decide to not tell people the meaning and you get the added shroud of mystery.

But yeah, it should have a meaning whether or not other people know what it is.

I like it too. It sounds good.
But if you want something else, maybe "Band" would be good.. or even "Insert Good Band Name Here." Oh oh! What about "Attack of the Eigth Notes"

haha, ya, I talked to my bassist about it for a long while last night and also a guy that I trust with tons of knowledge about the music industry and I think we're just going to keep Schming until we're made to change it or until I can find something better.

or just dont care enough about the name of the band ~ zwan.

I'm thinking about just searching related words on bolshevik and stuff because I'm fascinated by soviet culture and we actually used a soviet propaganda poster as the cover to our first demo...

too late we're sticking with Schming. on a related note you can see our cool little stuff over at www.soundclick.com/schming

please click it as we've been stuck at the #4 position in the charts for like a week and we were moving up (the britpop charts) and on the alternative chart we were around 140ish last time i checked out of all the bands on that site.... so help a schmingy out, plus there's a real pic of my band on there.

there's only one song on there right now and it's me singing acoustic at my college, but we're going into the studio probably early february as soon as we get the money to cut a 3-5 song demo. probably 3 because i want it to be the best we can get it.

Shouldn't thinking of a band name be left to, the band? I mean wouldn't it be better if the band itself thought up its name. I dunno, I know I wouldn't ask for a name, although theres nothing wrong with it. Just my opinion.

?


My (imaginary) band is called Blue Orange. Our first album cover has an orange background on it with a blue orange that looks like something Andy Warhol would paint.

Another good name is "[insert band name here]"
Someone would say "my favorite band is [insert band name here]!"
Then the other guy would say "Ha ha, so seriously, what's your favorite band name?"
Guy 1: I already told you, it's called [insert band name here]
Guy 2: oh.
