I submit Anal Cunt
How about Shitmat? Great music but hard to tell people about it.
To be completely honest, I don’t consider any name to be bad.
You may say AxCx is terrible name, but once you give them a listen it exactly fits the name. Same goes for Hijokaidan, who are actually named based on one of fan’s suggestion claiming that “escape staircase” suits their sound more. Party Cannon is absolutely hillarious imo, when you look at the logo and the sound. Brojob also has a name that fits their lyrical themes.
In some cases the name may come out a bit lame, but bad names? Nah. I don’t consider any name bad, most of them sound either fucking epic and/or hillarious when you look at the full picture.
Come on, let musicians have some fun.
Just one note. Unfortunate names do exist. If a band has name that is also commonly used to refer to other things, it is really tricky to find them unless they are popular enough. I remember trying to find some music from a band called “6 cylinder”. You can imagine the struggle.
Cherry Poppin’ Daddies
I like the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies tribute band, the Hymen Bustin Fathers
But they played at the Super Bowl halftime show once so they are okay /s
Did they really? That may have been peak 90s
Butthole Surfers have not been mentioned yet?
IMO, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard has an awfully high good band/dumb name differential
Local Santa Rosa band back in the mid to late 90’s called Mother Teresa’s Cunt
Honestly one of the best! An excellent lyricist and songwriter as well - although a little heavy handed on the harmonica.
Nickelback
Keyboard drumset fucking werewolf
Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs. Such a pain in the arse when you have to refer to them.
There was a band called Pigface for a bit who were actually good
There’s a band called TaintStick
Intentionally bad or unintentionally bad?
Clam Jam. or. Hung Jury
