Why do all these American pop-punk bands have such terrible names?



Seriously - I am willing for them to pay me money in order to come up with better names.



"The Academy Is..."???

Their choice of band name was actually one of my questions during the interview!! lol



They're really nice guys though. :)

Fair enough. I'm not at all a fan of that kind of music (it's pretty much all my wee sister listens too - FOB, Gym Class Heroes, Taking Back Sunday, Motion City Soundtrack, New Found Glory, etc etc etc). I hate to say it, but it all sounds the same to me... God, that must mean I'm getting old.



But the terrible names thing annoys me - if you meet any more of these poorly-named bands, tell them my proposition. Please!

Haha, will do! :)



They're the only American bands I've interviewed so far (it was for a TV show connected to the radio station I work at). The show I host plays all-Aussie music, so I usually only interview Aussie bands, most of which are from Melbourne.

All about me

I'm a 22 year old girl from Melbourne, and I love ice-cream, live music, a hot cup of tea, old school Nintendo games, arthouse movies, John Marsden books, THE MIGHTY BOOSH, and of course, T-shirts!

I'm a volunteer radio host for SYN 90.7 fm, and I've had the opportunity to interview more than 30 musicians, including high profile FBR bands: The Academy Is... and Cobra Starship!!
