Simple, yet good (in a bad-good way)


Lesbian
Pudding

Earth


Hooray For Earth
HFE may have the least appealing band description ever: "Sort of like Enya and Nirvana breaking things at a video arcade in hell."
Earth Dies Screaming
Described as "8-bit music that would make your ears vomit." And they're looking to be signed!

Unfunny combos


General Patton & His Privates
Special Ed & The Shortbus
Rotel & The Hot Tomatoes

Celebrities


Robin Williams On Fire
Band members also play in the bands True Dot Com, Timothy Treadwell, Turd Sorcerer, Destroy Tokyo, and Cobra Bubbles.
Garrison Killer
Mel Gibson & The Pants

Ringo Starr
Ringo Deathstarr
Gringo Star

Using title to something else


The Graduate
I Walk The Line
The Wonder Years
Album: Get Stoked On It!
The View
They're from somewhere called Dryburgh in the UK, so they get a pass. But in the U.S., those words together mean "annoying talk show."

Movie references


Scotty Don't
Motto: "The Don't Does." Kinda like "The dude abides."
Stiffler's Mom
Now auditioning for a new singer!
Candygram For Mongo
Bio: "If Cheap Trick were moderating a debate between Social Distortion and the Dropkick Murphys over which was better: Internet vs. home video pornography - it would sound like Candygram For Mongo!"
Lazlo Hollyfeld
Into The Light Carol Anne

We're fucking HEAVY, bro


May This Day Perish
Can't remember singer Steven Buzzy's name? Use his title: Vaginal Dominator.
Temple Of Brutality
Beneath The Massacre
Enjoy The Massacre
Desecrate The Hour
Cry Of The Afflicted
At The Throne Of Judgment
Bullet Called Life
Mankind Is Obsolete
Recently No. 1 on the Deutsch Alternative Charts!
The Liar Dies
With Blood Comes Cleansing

Fuck


Ima Fucking Gymnist
Sadly, they recently pussed out and changed it to "Ima Gymnist." Boo!
The Mister Fuckhead Ensemble
Big Fucking Thunder
Fucking Orange
Fuckwolf
Stay Fucked

Shit


Psychedelic Horseshit
They describe their sound as "trashcans fucking on cheap speed."
Cribshitter

Puke


Slut Barf
Clown Vomit
Vomit Bomb
Two bands share the name, one from Las Vegas, the other from Hollywood.

!!!!!


My! Gay! Husband!
Clap! Clap!
Sadly, they're breaking up.

Anatomy


Yak Ballz
The Red Muffs
Not only are TRM "notably popular with the UCSB and USC sorority/fraternity crowd," but "you can't swing a dead cat without hitting someone ridiculously hot" at their shows. Totally, bro.
Juzt Nutz
Album: Maximum Penetration
The Pussy Pirates
First line of bio: "FIRST OFF WE'RE AN IDEAS BAND. I THINK WE PROVED THAT WITH FUCK MOUNTAIN."
Les Breastfeeders
Steaming Wolf Penis
Monster Cock Rally
The Dick Panthers
Cocktards

PussyFinger
First line of bio: "Pussyfinger is a propagandist statement about the shortcomings of humankind." Yes, obviously.

The Berg Sans Nipple

Emoooooo


Cross My Heart Hope To Die
Broke up this year, alas.
Secondhand Serenade
Gray Lines Of Perfection
I Would Set Myself On Fire For You
Another casualty: They broke up in July. No band can survive such a terrible name.

Loooong
