    CONTEST: Come up with a Better Band Name and Win $50!

    EZ Contest:
    So I'm trying to come up with a great band name. Style of music: in the vein of Pink Floyd, TOOL, Tori Amos, APC, NIN, Jeff Buckley, U2, MUSE, etc.
    Think melodic, intellectual rock with a sometimes harder edge.

    So here's the deal:
    I've listed our current top contenders above - first, vote which of the current names you like the best!

    Then, if you have a better name, post it in this thread. I'll leave this open for 48 hours.

    Then, in 48 hours I'll post a new thread with the top 3-4 winners from this poll + the best of the new entries.

    So, then it's up to GFY - they can vote for one of our existing band-names or they can vote for your new entry. If GFY votes that your name is the best, I'll paypal you $50, EVEN IF WE DON'T USE OR LIKE THE NAME.

    If one of the current band-names gets the most votes, no one gets anything! (just so no one starts the inevitable "calling me out" thread!)

    So hit me up with something original, that rolls off your tongue & is catchy but still makes you think - (linguists say "cellar door" are the most phonetically pleasing spoken words EVER - see if you can come up with something better then that, haha).

      Call it "GFY". It will be enigmatic. Only we'll know.

        not bad, not bad

        Does Mode 3 mean anything or is it just random?

              that reminds me,

              Addendum to the rules: if a band name is already being used, we can't consider it (obviously)

              CORE is cool but is taken.

              Emotical & hatelapse are not bad.

                    actually I like Emotical a lot.

                    Root word: "Emotion" - but constructed in such a way that makes it sound almost machine-like (obviously the opposite of emotion). although I'm not sure if you want to go after that whole "oxymoron" band name thing. but none the less, it is cool.

                              yea, I like oxymorons or paradoxes (see Accidental Fate and others on my list)

                              I also really like the idea of something synthetic, robotic or digital married with something organic - like an evolution of machines into a new state of AI and self-awareness/consciousness or biomechanical, hence A New Machine & Digital Soul.

                              That's definitely on the right track.

                                        yea, some do - some I think are catchy.

                                        I mean there's some serious prog-rock bands out there who have way more complex names - I don't want to go that far but I want something to make you think a little bit. We're not going to be a big, dumb metal band (not that there's anything wrong with that, I grew up on metal, but that's not what this project is about) - so something with a little more depth is cool.

                                                        Does Mode 3 mean anything or is it just random?
                                                        It was just random sort of, it was a name I wanted to use for my old rock band yrs ago, but it just didn't seem to fit our style of rock

That's the vibe we're going for - something that doesn't sound like your run-of-the-mill band names. Your nick is Evil1 - not exactly thought-provoking - you probably think the best band name is Metallica or Slayer
