I remember seeing them support Blur a few years back. Just a bunch of hairstyles with men attached

I have seemed to really ruffled someone on Twitter’s feathers by saying I refuse to Girl Band because there are 0 girls in that band. :roll_eyes:

As a very similar spin off from this, I would say bands that are only men but the band name doesn’t match up to their gender eg:

Alice in Chains
All Your Sisters
Daughters
Flogging Molly
Girl Band
Girl Talk
Girls
Housewives
Jane’s Addiction
Kill Hannah
Single Mothers
Wives
Women
Violent Femmes

Can anyone think of an opposite case, where it’s a female artist/band members with a name associated with men? I can’t think of one!

Mountain Man would be a reverse one. Much less of a thing though you’re right

I’m not sure if they count since they’re a wife-husband duo, but Mr. Gnome?

There have been quite a few male bands called The Witches or some variant of that.

Depends what the post-punk description is getting at. If it’s speaky/shouty vocals over a bass line with little melody, intended to summon the spirit of PiL but in reality presiding over its corpse. then I’m with you.

If it’s “angular guitars” (world’s least helpful description) over a driving rhythm section (a la Bloc Party), something in the vein of the Banshees, then I’m going to have to politely disagree.

Aye, I have so much love for Squid at the moment, they’ve proved even in 2019 that stuff can be done well and sound fresh.

There’s a band called Twin Peaks. That has put me off them.

Describing oneself as loud.

You can buy loud. Be good.

(Yeah, I know I have said it before)

Kvlt bands. Being a Black metal edgelord was dull in the 90’s it’s fucking tedious now.

Also bands singing about Satan for similar reasons.

Metal bands who say metal should be “apolitical”, like they’ve never heard the song War Pigs.
