This happens all the time. All the time. I go to itunes and they have an orchid album that ive never heard about. So i think to myself "Did they get back together??? I thought he was in violent bullshit now????" But no. Its the stupid bullshit doom band. I know ive brought this up before but this really has to stop.

I was thinking of getting a grassroots movement thing started. Like for kony or whatever. Make a video about the dangers of accidentally listening to a shitty band because they have the same name as a good band. It would be like if brand new had just said fuck it and named themselves mudhoney or something. Can you imagine???

You're not alone. I have literally had this exact thing happen to me.

Fucking pisses me off. Get your own name.

Like all the time I think of good band names and if I see that there's some two-bit shitfest on Bandcamp that hasn't been active since 2008, with the same name, I go back to the drawing board.

I think it depends on when both bands start/stop.

That's why you listen to Ampere instead.

Someone should start a band called Swing Kids that actually is a bunch of kids that plays swing

EDIT: To be fair, I guess someone already did

Also, is the Funeral Diner the place where they serve all the last meals to death row inmates? I've always been curious.

The worst is A.O.A. but I guess anybody could just search for All Our Anger, All Out Attack, Acts of Atrocity, etc.

The onther one is GISM and that rapper G-Ism. There was this band I see at festivals all the time called Zoé and I would get all excited that it was a Japanese crust band playing at Coachella or something...but it was a Mexican rock band...

They have some cool rad stuff. I just can't stand their chessy vocals and lyrics.
