Potential band names from NMA lyrics
« on: August 08, 2018, 09:55:31 PM »
Was listening to  "Toiler on the sea" from the Stranglers Black and White album and the lyrics "A flock of seagulls"is sung.2 years after Black and White was released(1978)A flock of Seagulls was formed in Liverpool.I've always wondered weather they got their name from the Stranglers lyrics.So what would you call your band from NMA lyrics?Here's a couple to get you started
The Skeleton Trees(WINTER)
Clever Monkeys with Technology(VANITY)

I need to get a bit further into this, I can only think of song titles right now (all of which start with 'the'  ;) ), but what a great idea for a thread!

The Modern Times

The Bad Harvest

The Price

The Red Earth

The After-Something

Creeping Footsteps- an experimental 70's prog rock band
Flag of the Conquerors- A Norwegian Death metal group, that make one album before splitting to join other bands like Age of Reason and Taken by the Wolves
Hala (from the Anglo-Saxon word "halh", meaning nook or remote valley), until it was gifted by King Henry II to Welsh Prince David Owen and became known as Halas Owen

I actually did want to call a band Oblivion 4:4 - to play nasty electro punk dance stuff that would annoy people!

I’m pretty sure I saw a gig flyer for a band called Sacred Mother Tongue once. No idea if was NMA inspired or not. I think it was in Kettering.

"Born Feral" strikes a great name for a punk band

so many more like "Ghost of Cain"

Also "Luhrstaap", they could always tell everyone to ask Justin what it means  ;D

Bump!

What would you call your band from NMA lyrics ?

Woo-ooh! :D

Fantastic thread idea, dilla! :)

I'll be messing around with this enthralling request / task, 'til the inspirational well runs dry.


Following entries have been solely (& strictly) lifted / borrowed from a selection of only 15 actual NMA song titles.
End results are a mashed-up / interesting combination of titles, altered and/or rearranged to fit the intriguing exercise.
All titles in red have already been claimed (click on the respective names in red to delve deeper & discover something new).
The majority of merged, mashed-up & or rearranged song titles actually ring better as new song &/or album titles, themselves!
Prefacing these new, possible band names with "THE", is completely up to the individual band members & therefore, totally optional.
