I don't think the weird name thing applies to punk bands...i think they just appear under the category "we're a punk band...so we might as well be called "random-three-word-band"Lord Pounder wrote:Anyone care to explain Bowling For Soup. A very funny music video and a strange name. Hell it made me want to buy their album.
ironically, that band name has four words.

As far as Sum 41 goes, I saw an interview with them once and they said that it was from the fact that they formed the band 41 days into the summer after they graduated. Or something like that.kojikun wrote:Whats Blink 182 and Sum 41 mean?
