Question need opinions

Sign in to disble this ad
So my band is thinking of a new band name, we got rid of the rhythm guitarist, and are working on new and better songs, and because these new songs are so mcuh different than our old ones, were going with a new name. Were recording this saturday, so we need a new name by then.

The other 2 guys both like the name Deaf 22. I personally hate that idea, but its two against one. I wanted to see what all of you thought of that idea.

So do you think Deaf 22 is a cool idea, or a sh*t one?

Oh and were a Hard Rock, Metal band

thanks for your opinions!

~Mike

Reset.
Deaf 22 is a sh*t name for any band and definately total sh*t for a hard rock / metal band.
Sounds like Sum 41, Blink 182 and Maroon 5.

They're a ska band, you don't want people thinking of them when they see your band's name!
Bring that up and the others'll come around.

In my book, names with numbers are a HUGE no-no!
