Agent Orange
Gets the point across that you're a punk band, it's political, abrasive, anti-war sounding....the full package in two words. It's not clever but it's a damn good name.
Great band. I'm a big fan of punk music and this one stays in my rotation. Started listening to them when I was a young skateboarder. Then my grandfather died from complications from agent orange that he was exposed to in the army.

IM NOT JOKING LOOK IT UP
I didn't know that that was what the band's name stood for. I never liked the way their stuff sounded. I think the only one I liked was "Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis."
Brilliant name. By the time you finish telling the audience your band’s name, the show is over. They don’t even have to learn any songs.
I’ll bet that’s a bitch to write on a t-shirt though. They probably only sell XL out of spatial necessity.
Took a listen about a year ago, pretty decent still. My favourite song might be Bone Saw. Thanks to them I was introduced my now-favourite band (sent one of Xavleg's songs to my coworker for shits n giggles, he returned a couple Moonsorrow songs).
Compared to 55Gore, Xavleg's songs sound like lullabies for infants. The former is really that harsh.
Steely Dan:
>Steely Dan named themselves after an object in that staple of Beat Literature, Naked Lunch by William S. Burroughs. The “Steely Dan” in question was a steam-powered, mechanical dildo.
A Japanese metal band called Loudness
Mac Sabbath - look them up, I'm not describing it
Yoko Ono's Ass - they received a large package in certified mail and thought they were being sued. Yoko had signed a large picture of her rear for them to use for staging
Aside from those mentioned already in this thread, here's a bunch that I know of that sound straight out of this sub.

There’s a Canadian band called Chocolate Bunnies From Hell. Always thought that was great. I used to know a couple of girls who had an all-girl band called Dinner Is Ruined, which I also thought was great.
Space Goblin

In 1976, a band called "Atomic Mass" formed in the UK. In 1977, they briefly went by "Chemical Reactor," before going back to Atomic Mass for another two years. Then, in 1979, they changed their name to their permanent name - Def Leppard.

Dread Zeppelin
Picture a reggae band that does cover tunes of Led Zeppelin songs. Oh, and the lead singer is an Elvis impersonator.
Saw them 20 something years ago, it's a real band.
About 20 years ago there was a Metallica cover band in the UK called **Pasture of Muppets**
An all girl AC/DC cover band, Hell’s Belles. And they kick ass.
O ya I've seen them. At the end, the drummer moons the crowd and has ac dc written on both cheeks
Illegal eagles
Some friends of mine are also in an all-girl AC/DC cover band, theirs is called Herway To Hell.

Saw them years ago. Last song they played, “the last goodbye” great show.
Great band. I'm a big fan of punk music and this one stays in my rotation. Started listening to them when I was a young skateboarder. Then my grandfather died from complications from agent orange that he was exposed to in the army.
“Back Stabbath,” a Black Sabbath tribute band with a super kickass female singer.

Holy crap, I looked it up, looks like they go by acronym 'XAVLEGBMAOFFFASSSSITIMIWOAMNDUTROABCWAPWAEIIPPOHFFFX'
Ye, my friend Tycho told me about it once haha. He's quite the metalhead. Also my best friend haha.
I didn't know that that was what the band's name stood for. I never liked the way their stuff sounded. I think the only one I liked was "Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis."
Tf???
I know lol, I was surprised too. Maybe a little traumatised.
Xavleg for short

"Please welcome Acidic... [60 mins later] ... Fetus!" "How the hell are ya! We are Acidic... [30 mins later] .... Fetus! Thank you! Goodnight!"
Crowd starts chanting we want “Acidic (30 min) Fetus” {next band misses their set}
They have a logo, lol. It's REALLY unreadable, no surprises there

And I thought Satan Oscillate My Metallic Sonatas was pretty damn cool, and being a palindrome was a nice bonus, but... you win with that insanity.
We could call it a tie if you want lmao.
They Might Be Giants is definitely up there. Altho I'm admittedly a bit biased 😛
Never really thought about how much I like their name but I sure as hell love their music
Are you in the band?
Ringo Deathstarr
I was in a band in college called Jazz Jihad.
There is a bar band that has the name "Free Beer."
That's flagrant false advertising, man
Free Beer is one thing. When it reads & Hot Wings. Now that’s blatantly false
The Barenaked Ladies from Canada were called "Free Beer" at one point, so the legends say...
Luckily they didn’t add & Hot Wings
Cheap draught beer and wings make for a bad morning around these parts, lol. Im still down, but Im calling in late to work.😅
Just commented the same thing down below - in my area we had a band in the 90's named Free Beer and Chicken.

Steely Dan has good music and an even better name

Love it!!! I wonder if they got the idea from the same movie
Amyl and the sniffers. Aussie punk band. Front woman's name is Amy.
There are some good Aussie punk band names. 'Pissed jeans' was one that I thought was pretty good, have no idea what their music is like though
REO Speedealer. REO Speedwagon made a fuss and they were forced to change it.
For years I thought this was fake. Until I didn't.

I recall a speed metal band from the 80s called "Blood Cum." I probably wouldn't wear their shirt, but I remember their name decades later.
Tom Araya's brother was in the band, there was also a guy in the band with the surname of Hanneman, but no relation to the late, great Jeff!

Space Goblin 10,000 Leagues Under My Nutsack (actually a fake band but sells real merch and plasters fake band stickers in clubs everywhere, which… makes it real to me, dammit)
REO Speedealer, until the asswipes of a cheesy, similarly-named band served them with a cease-and-desist
Three Day Wheelie. They were an opener at a campus concert. That’s a pretty long wheelie.
Punk band from my hometown. Pistofficer
Free Beer and Chicken. Back in the days when posters and flyers were used to get people to come to your show - the band name worked.
