For a pop-punk/post-hardcore mix band, which name is better?

[Deadbolt01]

If theres any other name you feel like giving to a band thats clearly going to make it(do not ask me what I base that statement on)then feel free to suggest it.

Its pop-punk/post-hardcore which I guess translates as straightforward Rock.

Thanks.


EDIT: In a dramatic twist, Collapse the masses is now off the list, on a count of it being a Trivium(of all bands, trivium!)song. I can't edit the poll, just try not to vote for it.

That made me crack up.

[Alex DiVincenzo]

None of them really stand out, but I guess Dual Theory is kind of cool

[MADSTA]

Restitude sounds too metal. Collapse the Masses sounds too shitty. Go with Dual Theory.

[Deadbolt01]

Thanks for your imput guys. Keep it coming.


Influences are:

Brand New
Thrice
Bayside
A day to remember
Envy on the coast
All American Rejects
TBS
Yellowcard
Alkaline trio
The Smiths
Radiohead
All Time Low
Circa Survive
Saosin
My American Heart
Comeback Kid


Well thats way more than I initially intended buy yeah. Thanks a lot.

[liar23]

dual theory

[The Personist]

Um, all the names are kinda wussy.

[etheritcher]

well i like collapse the masses
im a fan of three
it has three words and is in the third spot
therefore it is far superior to the others

[Deadbolt01]

Um, all the names are kinda wussy.
Care to suggest a better one?

[The Personist]

Holding Pattern.
Society of Dregs.
Hanged Jury.
Intravenous.

Can't say I like any of them that much. Thanks for suggesting though.

[BrokenMirror]

I'd go with Collapse the Masses.

[SuNDaYSTaR]

Wondering how a mix of hardcore and pop-punk sounds like.

maybe stretch armstrong?

Just a cross of those influences pretty much. I think Brand New and envy on the coast come the closest, but we're british so that could effect our sound.
Between Brand New and Thrice is the goal, but doing what comes naturally, you can't be that specific.

[bobby runs]

uhhh the first one sounds like you're trying too hard.


and collapse the masses makes it seem like you're gonna have shit load of breakdowns and pig squeals. so id go with dual theory. with a third word added. something like dual [insert animal name here} theory

[hockeyguitar99]

How bout.....Dual monkey theory?

[seraph1214]

Dual Theory definitely

[theguy77]

collapse the masses sounds so forced and fake, reminds me of like bless the fall and escape the fate etc. etc. and restitude just sucks, pick dual theory

[bobby runs]

How bout.....Dual monkey theory?
that sounds pretty good

[Deadbolt01]

Just realised collapse the masses is a Trivium song.


No.

Hardcore, huh??

[Co and Ca]

Dual Theory

[Deadbolt01]

Hardcore, huh??
nope.

[MattRM]

Dual Theory. The other ones sound way too generic.

[speakhandsforme]

Dual Theory is slightly the best

Collapse the Masses is incredibly generic and should never ever ever be chosen.

[craigboliver]

how about, lets not have another hardcore/pop-punk band. sounds good to me

[Deadbolt01]

Its not going to be hardcore pop. Its jsut going to be somewhere between pop-punk and hardcore in terms of heavyness and influence. We're not going to have hardcore riffs and breakdowns, or lyrics about parties.

lyrics about parties are fun do it dude

[Deadbolt01]

lyrics about parties are fun do it dude
But...I don't think they'd suit our sound, and they're also not very powerful. Maybe on the B-sides record:-)

[bailmeout13]

Dual Theory, I guess.

[You Won't Know]

Wondering how a mix of hardcore and pop-punk sounds like.

The answer would be many of the bands we know and love.

It's commonly called "screamo."

Also, go with Dual Theory, as a nod to what I must assume is a clean singing/screaming combo vocals. It would be appropriate. Good luck with your band!

okay go say that in the music forum and be as headstrong as you can for as long as you can. you will go to sleep at 5 AM having learned more htan you could imagine about genres.

[SLoT]

All of those are fucking horrible, but if any Dual Theory.

[desiguerilla]

dual theory but instead make it DUEL theory. hollaaaa

[Deadbolt01]

Yeah, uhh I guess its a darker(and hopefully more atmospheric) sounding pop-punk to what most of them are like, but I'm hoping our british rock edge will keep us away from emo/screamo labeling. But who cares anyway, right?

[hf57]

all of those are terrible
