The Top 11 Best Fictional Band Names

It was ridiculously hard at times, trying to come up with decent, credible sounding band names for ‘Screaming In Public’, but also very fun. I tended to find that my best sources of inspiration for it were manga comic books, newspaper headlines or articles, and random bits of popular culture. In trying to define what I liked about certain band names I – very sadly – made a list of already taken band names in other novels. The random mix of novels reflects, I think, the random nature of my reading habits, and also the random areas in which rock’n’roll and fiction collide…
