What makes a great band name?

Great band names are catchy, evocative, and easy to remember — often "The" plus a vivid adjective and a punchy noun (The Velvet Foxes, Electric Ghosts, Midnight Arrows). The combination hints at your sound and mood: moody, electric, wild, or dreamy. The best names look great on a poster, are easy to search, and aren't already taken on streaming.
