You know the deal. Every now and then, in the course of normal conversation, you say something that is equal parts awesome and disgusting (perhaps with a hint of "in your face"). As soon as you say it, you realize: that would be a good name for a punk band.
This is a game I have been playing with friends and enemies for years. The official list has been stuck to my fridge since the late '90s. Now, thanks to the power of the world wide web, you too can be a part of the phenomenon known as the "That Would Be A Good Name For A Punk Band" list.
Below you will find the top names from the original list. Where applicable, there is also the name of a potential album, the definition/explanation/origin of the name, or a link to the band - in the event that the name refers to a band that actually makes, or once made, music.
Also, if you are in a band (punk or otherwise) and you'd like to use one of these names for your burgeoning musical project, feel free. All I ask is that you give 'Awesome And Disgusting' credit if anybody ever asks you where the name came from.
Laslty, If you feel moved to add new names to the list, just send them to awesomeanddisgusting@gmail.com
They will be added as long as they are not totally lame. Fuck with it.
