Signs that Would Make Good/Bad Band Names

Lying on my back in some twisted yoga pose, I saw a ceiling pipe with a sticker that read, “Storm Drain.” What a great band name, I thought. That, or “Dorm Strain.” Continuing to ignore the yoga teacher, it occurred to me that many potential band names could be found in everyday signs. Here are some examples:

Signs that Would Make Good Band Names:

• Storm Drain
• Blind Drive
• Dead End
• Falling Rock
• Welcome to Nashville
• Yield
• Wrong Way
• Slow Children
• Detour
• Emergency Shelter
• Slippery When Wet
• No Entry
• Authorized Personnel

 

Signs that Would Make Bad Band Names:

• Patient Parking
• Objects in Mirror are Closer Than They Appear
• Push Button for Walk Signal
• Reduced Salt Area
• Shoulder Work
• Caution Drive Slowly
• Please Keep Off the Grass (unless you have a straight-edge band)
