Some band names shouldn't be mentioned when the wind is changing.

Quite often, bands will spend months debating about their moniker. A good name is important for any band that wants to create an image. Often, the name is the first point of sale to a prospective listener. I mean, what does 'Backstreet Boys' say to you?

Of course, there are degrees of seriousness when it comes to coming up with a snappy name. Some bands go for 100% comedy, while others get so anal that they lift poetic phrases from obscure nineteenth century opium addicts in the hope of looking cool. I guess it depends where you want to go and what you want to do. My mates and I only ever took Stinkfinger as far as a couple of parties in the rehearsal room, but you should've seen our artwork, man!

So, with that in mind, take a trip to Bands With Fucked Up Names Radio. You'll find some absolutely brilliant names, including a few I'll get into trouble for repeating here.

Suffice it to say you won't want to miss out on Pukeboy, Money Grubbing Bastards, Anal Blast, Boogers of Death, Sadistic Talent, Captain Heroin, Ripped Face, Lord of the Winos and Government Chicken Boy.

Oh, we should mention that we don't necessarily endorse the bands that we are linking to. In this case, there are a few artists that may offend.
