Ok so my band is has to decide between two names, we are kind of like armor for sleepish with a little bit more fast paced rock, so whatever...but any feedback would be cool, and just what the names mean to us

Saving Face - when you've fucked up really bad and all you want to do is get out and lick your wounds, or when you've lied and now you need to try to get out of it

Riding Habit - Just something that stuck with you your entire life, that you can't get rid of, or maybe you don't want to

Riding Habit just sounds kinda dumb.

I voted Saving Face.

word...thanks for the feedback tho...it took us like 4 hours to come up with ideas for the name cuz we didn't want to be a number, a day, a season, a month, early, a plan, a theory...and so on

Call your band "The Navy Semen"
or call your band BAM!

I could imagine the band shirts now:

BAM! Like WHAM!, but Heterosexual. Yes.

I suggested poorly grown beard cuz it takes me like a week to get the 5 o'clock shadow going, i just thought i'd bring that up considering george michael rocks that 5 0'clock shadow like a champ

we joked about being two pound rooster (rooster synonym for cock) but we thought that might get kinda old pretty fast so we went down the more serious road

we were kicking around:

late for dawn

Left of nowhere

Althea

and on a side note, we're not a punk band so we are kind of being weary of something that sounds like that ie 4 sizes..., none taken....

You need a name that's clever, but gets less funny every time you hear it.

I propose "The B-Sharps"

if you want my honest opinion on it. i don't really like either of the names. but if your insisting on choosing one of the two, id go with saving face. sounds better. like falling out said, riding habit just sounds kinda weird.

Saving Face is cool, but ther's a local band I dig who's name is Saving Fate.


I suggest: Smile Time Fun Hour

The name really doesn't matter. Just keep playing and something good will eventually come to you.

Yes! That is it. My psychic abilities are strongly in agreement with this name.

i was waiting for someone to post this. thank you very much.

of the options, saving face is far better. but how about hiding rabbit rather than riding habit? no? not so clever, i guess...

Ok I don't really know how to describe it, I think it's a lot more original than it probably is, but whatever, I posted this song like a month ago, it's still minus verse vocals but whatever...the 5 of the six other songs are a little bit harder than this...so whatever...i kinda think of armor for sleep, but i think that's just cuz i'm flattering myself...anyway here it is http://www.onlinerock.com/musicians/phatmatt/

my ska band needs a name, help us...we sound alot similar to less than jake. well, not really ska. more like punk/pop punk with horns. help me out here. something fun. that doesnt start with "the".

DevilMayCare
06/24/03, 05:17 PM
well, for the first guy id say if i had to choose, saving face is definately better than riding habit (because as noted earlier it does sound like fucking a nun) although i had a friend who was in a band named saving adonis and they sucked so im not too enthusiastic about names that start with saving. and for the other guy with the ska band, i had a band earlier in the year that was named stolen trash cans (stupid name but a fun thing to do late at night and they have to be metal trash cans) so you could steal that name if you wanted to....and another band that was a front for getting together with the guys every day after school......another name you could use would be no talent, just for the fun of it
