I'm in an upstart band and we are in the naming phase. The band is going for a experimental, alt-rock feel with many keyboard, piano, and possibly violin elements with a dark spacey feel to it with many lighter elements in between. We are basically gonna be all over the place, except for in the screamo/metal territory. So which of these names sounds best?

1:"Putting screamo and metal in the same sentence make Homer go something something..." 2:"Go crazy?" 1:"Don't mind if I do!!" Anyways, I'd go with Prism. It is the most interesting sounding name.

Sounds like some good music you'll be producing.

I think Prism is the best name.

Try Evidence. I always liked that name. I always thought names like Airport Security and Ink Jam were corny as hell. Maybe if you were a punk band XD

1. screamo is nowhere near metal. 2. if you're going for a sceneish alt/rock type quirky feel, something like airport security is a good idea.

All the LCD and HD stuff is lame. Bed of Nails, Backyard Artillery, and Tempest sound metaly, which apparently is not what you want. The first four sound like punk bands. Stay away from those.

Rasputin and Sleepcrest are my favorites. Sleepcrest would be awesome if you were doing a Pink Floyd kind of sound.

Yes we are going for a mix of Radiohead and Pink Floyd sound, but we are trying to not sound too much like any other band, but Radiohead and Pink Floyd are definitely 2 of my biggest influences, followed by Sigur Ros and Smashing Pumpkins.

reckoner sounds the cooleest, also the most metal, it might make ppl think you are metal, but its a good name bed of nails is oook.. nothing else stands out to me, and about half of them are soo bad / not good that it would lower my interest to start listening to your band because of it. ..

Tempest is already taken, they are a Celtic hard-rock band based in the Bay Area. Prism really works for me, though. I highly recommend that one (sounds proggy, too).

Lol yes to those saying most of the band names are beyond horrible are definitely right. What happened was I couldn't think of any names, and I presented a bunch of corny ones to the leader like "At Arms Length" and "Ten Steps Under", but he said they were horrible and one word names were better, so i basically imagined a radio host saying "Insert Name Here's new album" and so I wrote down and word that was short and might work thinking I might accidentally strike gold. I didn't. I presented these names to him, and he basically hated them all. So it's back to the drawing board. Please help!

K if we are still talking about the old names, I borrowed Reckoner from Radiohead, Rasputin from Psychonauts, and City of God, from well... City of God movie. All these names are now null and void because band leader liked 0 of them. So now I need suggestions thanks.
