            "Holy Fuck," that's a controversial band name!
                        (Toronto, Canada's Holy Fuck)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A rose by any other name would smell as sweet = a band by any other name would rock/suck as hard?

I beg to differ.  A band's name is like a film title, or book title, or even a title to a work of art.  "The Thinker."  "Pulp Fiction."  "The Catcher in the Rye."  These are memorable, and set up your expectations for the art form you are about to experience.  Band names are no different, in fact, they mean even more.

So why in the name of all that's holy do bands pick the names they pick?  When you first hear of a band, it instantly conjures images of what that band is about.  Often these expectations are subverted, i.e. "Barenaked Ladies" are neither barenaked nor ladies, discuss amongst yourselves as Lynda Richman used to say.

Below is a list of what I consider to be the most controversial/least appropriate band names ever to grace a Supernova stage.  In no particular order I give you the following.  For maximum enjoyment, say each one after using an announcer's voice saying the following... "And now, put your hands together for..."

* Skull Fuck
* Blood of Christ
* Sofa King Good
* Without Consent
* Sister’s Cherrie
* Muffgoat
* Naked for Jesus
* Vagina Punch
* S.T.A.B. (Soundtack To A Beating)
* Nubian Erotic
* Flippin’ Jiggers
* Raped at the Alter
* Something With Balls
* The Little Jewish Hats (also a Simpsons reference!)
* Bukkake Tsunami
* Robin De Kradel
* Balls out
* Cunning Linguist
* G-spot Tornado
* Assloads of Raspberry

If your band name is on this list, please leave a comment, and for the love of God please explain the logic behind why you chose this name, we're all dying to know! 

Disagree with the list?  Got more names for the list?
