Help us name our band!

thedownside · 01-31-2007, 03:40 PM

So i've been part of a band for 2 years now, we were know as "Welcome to the Downside" but allot has happened. we started out as 2 guitar players, then went to just me on guitar, then the old bass player moved to the second guitar spot. we've been threw more than a handful of drummers, and now are looking at geting a new singer (last one quit about a month ago). so really, it's a new band, with some material (probably about 6 songs done, a number of others close).

Being that it's now basically a new band (i'm the only original, in my original role, and our music has shifted from somewhat of a deftones kinda style, to a heavier style) we're looking to rename the band and start fresh.

So, anyone have ideas? lol... i'm a graphic designer (have been for about 10 years with large IT firms) and am heavier involved in marketing and promotion, so it makes me a little picky when it comes to branding something.

here's some samples of some of the tunes, just rough demo's

Haha... thanks for the effort though

It was the original name, but we then found 3 other bands using it as well, and i had already gotten the url "welcometothedownside.com", so we just put the "welcome to the" into the name itself

But i find the whole thing far too long and not too catchy personally. and it's been 2 years with it and nothing came out of it.
