As most of you probably know, during my infamous college years at Indiana University, I sang in a little known band called 'RUSSELL'S BURDEN'. However, after hearing from multiple fans (
i.e. our parents) that our name was 'questionable-at-best' and sounded more 'depressing' than our music/message actually was, we decided to change.
Thus, the quest for a B.B.N. (
Better Band Name) began, and my sole mission in life became thinking of the greatest possible names for us to choose from. I wrote down entire scrolls of names I thought were cool on anything I had available to me at the point of inspiration (
Used napkins, torn fragments of stationary, and the backs of business cards were the most common). I even gave them grades based upon various categories like [1] Marketability, [2] Logo potential, [3] Depth of meaning, and [4] Music type conveyed (Ex: A Folk band named 'THE GRANOLA CLAN' rather than 'HELLA-DEATH'). Here are some of the runners up...
