Tips for choosing

  • Search before you commit. Check streaming services and social handles to make sure the name isn't taken.
  • Say it like an announcer would: "Please welcome... " If it sounds good on stage, it's a keeper.
  • Match your sound. A punk band and a jazz trio need very different names.

Common questions

How do I check if a band name is taken?

Search the major streaming services, social media and a web search. For a band you plan to grow, a trademark search is worth doing too.

What makes a good band name?

Memorable, easy to spell and a hint of your sound. Two or three words is the sweet spot.

How does the band agree on one?

Everyone shortlists a few favorites, then you paste them into the band chat and vote. Veto rights optional.
