Band name that LEAST describes their sound?

For me, Nickleback. I looked at the name and thought, "country-rock-ish"... Pretty hard rock sounding group! Good stuff, though!

Ahhh....not quite what I had in mind, but I'll play!

How 'bout "The Dead Kennedys"? I wouldn't think they'd be sounding like anything at all at this point.....

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. That in NO way gives you a hint as to what you should expect.

I remember thinking exactly that when I first saw 10000 Maniacs - how opposite their name and style were.

Just a few of my own ideas

Level 42- sounds like a boyband, not a British funk band.
Depeche Mode- sounds rally arty and funky, then you get one of the greatest synth bands ever.
Joy Division- The inclusion of the word 'Joy' in the name ofthis band is a complete red herring- this band are really quite dark indie music.

LOL. One of the members in my band worried we might be considered a Nickleback tribute band.
