I'm sort of put off by the names, actually. I remember playing Fudge Tunnel at the radio station and never back-announcing it because... "ooh, tee-hee, look how naughty we are!" Pfah. It's more annoying when it's in blatant conflict with the tone of the music; since A.C. is a joke band anyway, it's hard to really care what they want to call themselves. (Incidentally, and irrelevantly, I opened a show for them once).

I guess I take a certain amount of perverse pride in wearing my Carcass t-shirt, though. Their early stuff, for which the name was suitable, is blah; but eventually they turned out to be a fantastic band with a sort of emabarrasing name. Ditto for Death.

wolfdog: true about carcass. they were fantastic, but their "goregrind" stuff was just plain awful.

Here's one for you. Last night in IRC I mentioned that I had come up with the coolest band name, as a result of a misheard statement on NPR. The name was the Severed Heads of State.

Cmonkey told me that there already is one!

Scraping Foetus Off The Wheel?

Cock and Ball Torture?

The Felchers?

Genitorturers

There's also Severed Heads (from Australia)

Foetus is one of my faves. Here's Scraping Foetus Off The Wheel - Satan Place.

Also, there's the Happy Flowers. They're nice. Two guys in the band, Mr. Anus and Mr. Horribly Charred Infant. They've done albums like "They Cleaned My Cut Out With A Wire Brush", "Let's Eat the Baby (Like My Gerbils Did)", and "Mom, I Gave The Cat Some Acid".

disclaimer--I haven't actually heard them, so can't vouch for the goodness of the band. Just thought the name was disgusting enough to merit a mention.

Two I recommend:

Face Down In Shit

Dying Fetus

And ones I don't particularly recommend:

Lymphatic Phlegm

Purulent Spermcanal

Necrocannibalistic Vomitorium

Vomitorial Corpulence

I got more!!
From the compilation album with the title that really tickles me "The Portable Altamont", here's some grind/noise.
Skullflower, and their songs "Bo Diddley's Shitpump", and "A Guide To Canine Foreskin Retraction".
Also we have Drunks With Guns going everybody's favorite tune "Fuck Off And Die You Worthless Little Faggot."

The band name's pretty tame, but the t-shirt...
