can't really get less than 4 wholesale ripping off a brandname but it's a good one to rip

sorry, but it's like a rewrite of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's acronym

a bit British Sea Power, although British Sea Power is a much, much better name (itself a 2/10)

but it's a nice word. 5/10

it reminds me of so many contemporary bandnames that trade on gnomic brandlike simplicity and are boring as all shit

7/10 if they play guitar indie

2/10 if they sound like julian cope

although if Rammstein change their name to this, 0/10

really fantastic bandname, probably contributed more than you'd think to their popularity

and this time I *mean* it. Realistically, about 3/10

um...6. no, 5

2

3

comes off as forced wacky. 7/10

*insert next line*

3/10 because it's a bit of a wordmash when read aloud

again good

3/10

if you're going to be wacky, give it a good story you can just about cling to at the edge of your mind, like Gorky's Zygotic Mynci, a 1/10 if ever there was one

6

long bandnames are a massive risk. even Van Der Graaf Generator only barely works (but because it does, it's great)

5/10

actually works really well inna sonic youth kinda way

juvenile then, juvenile now. 8/10, at least blink-182 chose an interesting conduit for their vulgarity

and this isn't quite so good although it is a Coil reference so it gets 3/10

go away Holy Fuck

2/10, gives me the same :D as Half Man Half Biscuit does, although HMHB is pretty much the -1/10 of bandnames

5 though, sounds a bit self-aggrandising

yawn

awesome bandname, really kinetic, luscious feel, sounds like you'd want the music to sound, invites you in, just everything you'd want

win

don't be such a misogynist, Louis.

a bit This Heat but not nearly as good

if you're gonna swear, kids...

it's definitely a 1/10

OMD >>> ELO

Awesome band name, but it has to be taken down because of the fact that you really can't look someone in the eye when you tell them what they're called.

hahaharoldraymis

AWE-teker - 3/10
awe-TEK-er - 5/10
OW-teker - 7/10
Otter-cray - 1/10

their music is really boring too

I was going to say Destroyer but context is everything with that name.

superb band ;-)

The name is quite striking and definitely not boring. It takes some courage and sense of humour to name your band like that.

;)

Definite air of mystique around the name, especially considering where they took it from. Awesome name.

...like "kraftverk". I heard a lot of people pronouncing with U, which is wrong.

1/10

And that is a much better band name

well, tubthumping might have gotten some play still but yknow

just look of how many band names were this'd by the OP
