Worst Band Name Evar
A few weeks ago I got a review copy of Margot & the Nuclear So and So's record Dust of Retreat and promptly ignored it based on how awful their band name was. I expected them to be a female-fronted novelty punk band.
I'm not sure what finally inspired me to listen to it, but turns out it's a nice, mellow, melodic record and I love the male singer's gentle voice.
So it would be a bad name for a bad band, but it's an even worse name for a pretty good band.
RIYL:
Those Bastard Souls (yeah there's violin), The Unbelievable Truth, Death Cab? (just trying to throw in a recognizable name)

This has been my favorite new band for a few months now. (And they somehow managed to fit all 8 members on the stage at Cafe du Nord.)
You know, they're breaking several rules in my 'how to write a band off without listening to them' process which I've developed over the past decade or so: * atrocious band name, * excessive amount of band members, * horrible band photo. But I still like them!!
How did you hear about them?
