I’m forming a 50s themed rock band. We play mostly early rock & roll cover songs, but also some hard rock, metal and punk. Are these names taken? If not, which one is the best?
The Desperados
The Bearcats
The Helldivers
Nick and the Thunderbolts
The Warthogs
Kingcobra
And can you suggest any others?
Billy is correct. They are the names of various US aircraft (except for Desperado, which is a Mexican film i really love)
At the moment "pwnNOOBZ" is the only one who has actually responded to the original list of names
Helldivers, definitely.
The Desperados is to Western Style, when people hear that name the mexican hat dance will play in their head.
The Bearcats is a silly and useless combination of semi-masculine animals.
Nick and the Thunderbolts reminds me too much of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.
Seriously, why would you name your band the Warthogs? Messy, uselesss animals.
Last but not least Kingcobra. A Cobra is a very common animal to represent rock/punk/metal bands. It’s overused and obvious.
