Question

hey guys, Im starting a band (sorta) and its just me and a friend, we've written a few songs but dont have a name yet. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Think of you guys' favorite bands and either take parts of their name, or create something like it. Or be totally different and really think about a different name, one you've never heard of

Answer 2

See our music and our favorite bands are two completly diffrent genras and Im sure i spelt that wrong but, I like that idea

Answer 3

Hey, how about using a name that describes your approach to music rather than looking for something cool (and unrelated) ??

Answer 4

What kind of band? gnere? sound?

Answer 5

We aren't really sure about the gnere or the type of band we are, I can show you some lyrics to the songs weve written

Answer 6

Answer 8

awww

Answer 9

I really like it. It seems you could go in any direction as far as the genre goes, personally I see it being more on the rock/heavier side, but that may be because that's what I'm in to.

Answer 10

yea we're into that too

Answer 11

have you guys tried putting anything together to practice it? You could try playing around with it then

Answer 12

we havent been able to get together reacently but yes, we have practiced in the past

Answer 13

cool, I totally understand that issue. You guys could try playing it heavy, or very light and a pop feel, anything, and that will help you guys with your decision

Answer 14

thanks :3

Answer 15

Honestly, in my opinion your song sounds like with a bit of "tweaking" it would be perfect for the latin pop/pop/the neighborhood kind of genre :)

Answer 16

For ex. Played in maybe 3/4 time, in possibly Bb minor:

There’s that smile on your face that shows everything’s okay, but I can see the pain in your eyes, it makes we wanna say; Please come talk to me, and I will take your hand, I promise to be here for you and to help you stand.

Answer 17

Think of words that sound appealing to you, then put them together. You could also make a band name based upon the type of music you want to make.

Answer 18

Or, you can take one of your songs.. Have the title of a song be your band or something.

Answer 19

you would have to consider what the purpose of your music is going to be. why are you writing? why are you playing?
The title should always reflect the big WHY.
