It's sound so easy, but in practice is so tough to do. I was thinking of using the word "Euphoria" in the name because that's pretty much the only way I can describe my feelings when I'm playing with my band, but it can't be just "Euphoria" because then we'd sound like a massive rip off of "Nirvana. We're a 4 piece (drummer, two guitarists, bassist) and we have a really diverse lineup, as I play guitar and am obviously really into Pearl Jam as well as Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Guns N' Roses and Jimi Hendrix, the other guitarist is in to PJ kinda but more into heavier stuff like Godsmack (sounds bad I know, but he's a damn good songwriter), our drummer is into screamo bands like Thrice and punk like MXPX and AFI, and our bassist is a Zeppelin/Floyd kind of guy. Don't worry though, it'll come out sounding like PJ more than anything beacuse I'm playing lead :-). So anyways, that's kind of what we're about, any ideas for a name?

    my band is called Dolly Dagger, and that's a Jimi Hendrix song! So don't you dare calling your band like that :)

    seeing as your from Cleveland, how about:

    Pissing on Pittsburgh

    You'd have an immediate fan base. Plus, lots of that fan base would be into drinking heavily, which is a good pitch for potential venues in the early going.
