Looking for a band name?
These original, unused band name and/or song titles are hot off the press and here for the taking. If you think my unused band name ideas are silly, then perhaps you haven’t heard of 1910 Fruitgum Company or Toad the Wet Sprocket. If you’re forming a musical act and you’re singing the blues because Insane Clown Posse, Jimmy Eat World, and Mott the Hoople are taken, try one of these on for size. Choose wisely and you too can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the likes of Martha and the Muffins, The The, and Ned’s Atomic Dustbin.
Admittedly, some of these band names are so ridiculous as to be commercially useless. Others, however, have serious potential. Can we reach a consensus on which are which? I doubt it.
A reader has suggested these unused band name ideas and unused song title ideas are also great options if you’re looking for an unusual/creative social media username.

I’m thinking about taking #17 Are You Serious!
Cool! I hope you give it some serious thought.
I might take the Always Something it has a good ring to it.
I’m not sure though I’m still trying to make my dream come true. (making a band)
I have taken Someone Was Here. And we play Grunge
Awesome!
Personified Vegetables.
Or perhaps, Anthropomorphic Vegetables.
(…Those aren’t Veggie Tales inspired at all 🙂
Both are excellent. Maybe the band should play as Personified Vegetables east of the Mississippi and Anthropomorphic Vegetables west of the Mississippi.
Love these, especially Fingertip Pushups 🙂
Off the top of my head, I can contribute a few that you are more than welcome to use for your future garage band.
Off the Top of Your Head
Unidentified Frying Omelet
Clear the Table, featuring the hit single (Can You Help Me) Clear the Table?
Buy One, Get None Free
This is Great, This is Great
Thanks – I love all of those names, all of them. Nice Frasier reference in the last one!
Frasier-inspired band names really necessitate their own blog post.
This is hilarious (and oh so creative), Berrmot!
I have a few Lancaster County, PA-inspired additions
The Corn Shocks
Screaming Turbines
Rivel Soup Riot
Eternal Apple Dumpling
I’m quite upset that Back Road Buggies (although not a band, is a name taken by another business), and there are already musicians that use “whoopie pie” and “shoofly” in their names!
Thanks for the great additions, Dawn! I never heard of a rivel before … how does rivel soup taste?
It’s a PA Dutch delicacy…a bit bland, but if you add enough butter, salt, and pepper, it’s heavenly. 🍴
In addition to the names, I’m envisioning the logos… and the black T-shirts with the logo on them.
And I’ve found a great method for finding new band names. Just use a Captcha that generates words to type in and , voila, you’ve got your next hot band.
Rock on!
Those are excellent ideas, Heidi. This could open up new possibilities for your biz – create the promo stuff and then form a band to use it. You’re thinking outside the Box Tops.
