Not the first time this thread has been created… but who’s counting.
I’ve noticed a few bands with names referencing other still very active and contemporary bands. I’m sorry “The Slow Show” and “Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever” but I’ll stick you your forebearers, cheers.
A PR machine that writes po-faced press releases for them.

bands who attempt to fend off pigeonholing by citing a variety of influences despite sounding like the only album they own is by Joy Division.
related to the OP, and I’ve mentioned it before, but band names that are a really unsubtle reference to another piece of pop culture (i.e. Twin Peaks, Of Mice and Men, etc.)
