I can think of three off the top of my head – ignored them for quite some time before becoming a fan:
Poison The Well
Every Time I Die
Small Brown Bike
Still think the names are shit though. Let’s have some more
A Wilhelm Scream
Drug Church
The Mae Shi
Audrey Horne
I Hate Myself
Car Seat Headrest.
still haven’t fully gotten into him but i downloaded one of his old free albums and it was pretty good. should really give the new one a go now.

Sounds like a shit emo band so I never made the effort, then my post-rock-loving mate played me a bit and we saw them on their farewell tour, which was lovely

It really fits both bands, but saying them out loud really makes me wince.

A Winged Victory for the Sullen.
It didn’t put me off as such 'cause I knew who was involved, but it’s fucking shit. Had it on last Christmas and my mother in law asked what was playing. “A wing what?” FUCK OFF. Should’ve just said Blur or something.

Terrible name, terrible band, but the origin of the name is pretty interesting.
Apparently they couldn’t think of a name, so they vowed to turn on the TV and name their band after the first thing they heard.
And as chance would have it it was David Brent, in the very first episode of the office, admonishing Dawn for her quip about his lunchtime drinking.
“Does it offend you, yeah? My drinking?”
True or not, I like that story. Even if I dislike the band a lot.
