I was hoping there would be some fancy Greek word for fear of bananas. Boringly, it's called bananaphobia.

Actually lemons on sleeves, and probably any fruit pisses me off.
Bad artwork will put me right off buying an LP. . . if you have broken doll parts or something lame (and spooky - ooh) like that I probably won't buy your record.
I liked the second Babes in Toyland LP but never bought it because of the doll on the front (their name sucks too).
In reverse, if you have an awesome record cover I will probably struggle to like the music as much as I can . . . but it's not quite the same.

They're def at their best live - they've never quite captured it on record for me.I love Pigsx7. Best band I saw last year. I'd have liked it 30 years ago tooWithout being too pseudy; live, their wit and humour really come across. Plus they're well heavy and I sort of fancy the singer.
Seeing them again in April

If you say so
when i lived in Plymouth they stopped at Exeter or even Bristol.

IMPORTANT UPDATE on this: the other week I got a lengthy lift off a mate, and you can't really argue with the driver's choice of music especially if they're doing you a nice favour like driving you a long way, and so I have now heard a fair bit of the Front Bottoms. It turns out they are actually pretty good if you like that nasally voice kind of thing, I would definitely think about actively deliberately listening to them in future. Would definitely recommend this method if anyone else wants to form an opinion about the music of anyone else with a shit name.
Are you alright with the first DKs album?

Yeah, that's just burning cars isn't it? No lemons.
I guess you can mention fruit, I just don't want to see it.
Might just be bananas when it comes to actual words.

I did not know that there is such a thing as a fruit phobia

Camelphat is an awful name... though I actually saw them at some label showcase in Ibiza before they became (apparently) so popular.

Just saw Devin Townsend mentioned on the metal thread.
Whoever this chump is, he has two options: either a) learn to spell 'Devon' or b) fuck off.

Devin Townsend is a genius.
Was the guitarst for Stev Vai (who back in the day was the guitarists guitarist of choice) when he was something daft like 14 years old.
Releases albums covering all types of Rock/Metal.
And also wrote Love, which is the heaviest love song ever....
He's also an absolute showman/lunatic. If you're so inclined check out his Retinal Circus concert in London a few years back. It's mental.

Seen that name in print before and thought he must be a lounge singer

On that note, was quite impressed to learn that there's a band called Werking Them's Club. Although on googling it it turns out the name's been used twice, a band from Manchester and a DJ collective type thing from Sheffield.

fun to funky
Cheers bud, I meant to go and see that, 16 year old me would lap it up even more.
I get a sort of Mark,e.Smith and The Fall ::US version, just me?

Arachnids. Mites are related to spiders and scorpions. In case you didn't hate them enough.

You'll have forgotten it in a few minutes.
Lizard gizzards and the wizards? Something like that.
It's as objectively bad a name as is humanly possible.
I like arachnids when they aren't evil cunts that fuck up my plants and can't be got rid of without full scale chemical warfare or just nuking the entire site from orbit

you're suffering from an error of taste.

Report back in an hour and tell me what the band's name is. No cheating.

I'm listening to them right now because of the name.
I've never heard of them before

This is backfiring, clearly.

Don't like it.
