5 Iconic Band Names With Interesting Backstories
Sometimes, inspiration comes from the most unlikely places.
Every iconic band must have an equally iconic name. It has to be something so instantly recognisable to its audience that the very mention of its name will automatically shift a person’s thoughts to that band.
Most of the time, bands usually come up with names based on a few common things. A band could name itself after it’s members, a shared passion, the place they may have come from or even with a phrase that describes them or their music.
However, a few bands have gone quite a ways outside the box in terms of figuring out what to call themselves. In this list, we will look at 5 iconic bands whose names have come with quite the interesting backstory behind them.
