How to Name Your Band

1. Capture the feeling

Your name should suggest how your music makes people feel - heavy, dreamy, loud, or sad. Genre-specific words are a shortcut to that feeling.

2. Keep it sayable

If people can't say it, they can't tell their friends. Two or three punchy words usually beat a mouthful.

3. Make it findable

A name made of common words is hard to Google. A slightly unusual combination wins.

4. Check for conflicts

Search for existing bands with the same name to avoid confusion and legal headaches before committing.

5. Use a generator as a springboard
