WHO SAYS ROCK AND ROLL IS DEAD? (Well, OK - I do. But rock and roll band NAMES? Still alive and well!)

They said it couldn’t be done. They said it wouldn’t be done. They said it shouldn’t be done. But the Year In Band Names is back, if a little belated and slightly different. This year, I cut way more bands from my master list than usual, in an effort to leave only the noteworthy groups (or ones that made for fun commentary). Don’t worry, the story is as long as usual, and compiling it more arduous than ever!

Here, again, are the standard caveats: These aren’t necessarily bands that formed in 2018, or even in the past few years. They’re names I came across for the first time last year, or at least have forgotten about seeing otherwise. Inclusion on the list isn’t a reflection of their music’s quality, either. In fact, that’s beside the point.

Find some wifi, as this is once again a data-sucking monster. See you in December. Maybe.

Emma, made me blush.

I have an Amyl And The Sniffers album. They are very good. Really snarly.

Fuck You, Tammy! is my coworker's band. He has invited me to see them play many times--including tonight, but I can never make it.

My favorite band name on that list is Fuck You And The Shut-Ups. Saying it out loud always makes me laugh.

Damn it, Tammy!
