Starting OutBand names
Print this articlePrint version 1/9 NextNext
01 Introduction
Let's be honest here, choosing a band name is dead hard. You want something that's punchy and memorable, while reflecting the music you make and maybe your attitude to the world. Boiling all that down to a couple of words is a pretty sizeable task.

This section includes hints on:
  • Ways of coming up with a name
  • What names you can use
  • How to avoid having to change your name
  • What the law says
Please note that while this guide touches on legal issues, it is just an overview and not a substitute for seeking professional legal advice.
