That's actually really good advice. I might delve into that and see what i come up with.
We plan to cover 'Go with the flow' by qotsa and 'Paranoid Android', so off the top of my head already that gives me my first decent suggestion - The Paranoid Flow.
Whatever.I'd probably need to know more about you & your band....
Ok, my biggest influences, in no particular order, seem to be:
Queens Of The Stone Age
Rage Against The Machine
Muse
The Mars Volta
Radiohead
Elliott Smith
System Of A Down
Incubus (of old)
while drawing mild influence from:
At The Drive In
Jeff Buckley
The Beatles (obviously, who doesn't)
Karnivool
Red Hot Chili Peppers (of old)
Foo Fighters
Tool
Mr Bungle
Silverchair (yes, including their new stuff)
Led Zepplin
Err yeah i'll stop there.
My singer(/musical partner)'s list would be similar. (we went to the same high school and live in the same house)
My guitarist likes all sorts of music.
And the bassist likes metal.
Anyway, hope that puts it more into perspective.
My favourite names so far are Bombsquito, Paper Cars and Finding WallyD Stats
Sub Bug
Primacy Bug
Career PackageThe Nick Barnsey Experience.
Our old/current name wasn't too far from that kind of thing, haha.
We were 'Nick And The Beavertown Band'
No shit.
considering RATM is a big influence (I luv them), Bombsquito might be alright....has a ring to it, rolls off the tongue & you can make it a play of words at times....but yeah, either way, good luck with name hunt....
Hahaha we suck). Anyway the quality isn't perfect and we fuck up every now and then, but oh well it's better than no songs at all.
Drums, guitar, bass, singing tune, lyrics, etc.
