Band Names 2025

It's important to have a couple jokes pre-loaded for any social situation. Landing one about how a phrase or innocuous string of words would make a good band name - or saying it was the name of my band in high school (I was a nervous, nerdy, jock, the contrast typically hits 'em in the ribs) - is a staple I'm carrying to my deathbed and beyond.

The results are fun to think about. Clearly Grotesque Arithmetic is some mathrock shit. Caution! Horses is probably somewhere between post-rock and whatever indy nerd spider bit all the members of Everything Everything. Skeleton Heavy? Dungeon synth? Wizards with guitars1 or something.

You get the idea.

Here's what I got from 2025.

Also, in case it needs to be said, I'm not claiming these names. Some of them are probably bands or people that I don't know even know about! So, ya know, play at your own risk.
