Six breathtakingly bad band names

By Derek Walker

Every Tuesday, The Fold takes a brief look at six of, well, anything in “The Six Pack.”

1. Staind

One of few bands today in strong support of the illiteracy problem facing America’s children. Hey kids, proper grammar is for tools!

2. Barenaked Ladies

If only its music was as aesthetically pleasing as the prospect of its name.

3. Puddle of Mudd

I have yet to understand the significance of the extra “D,” and I doubt I ever will. I’m guessing these guys graduated from the Staind school of thought.

4. They Might Be Giants

I don’t honestly trust any band that has as little faith in themselves as these guys. They “might” be giants? Or are they?

5. Test Icicles

It’s supposed to look like “testicles.” We get it.

6. Hoobastank

The band that proclaims its name to mean nothing takes the proverbial cake, as its music means as little, if not less than the moniker.
