Googled ‘Perpetua’.
“Perpetua is a 5-piece band from Richmond in North Yorkshire, playing a modern blend of alternative rock. Influences are wide and varied between band members but clear influences include Rage Against the Machine, Incubus, Radiohead, Soundgarden, Foo Fighters, Velvet Revolver and Pink Floyd. The band has been together since September 2005 and is a well-established act in Richmondshire.”
If only it had been anywhere but Yorkshire. This was looking like our favourite choice too. Ah well.
Googled ‘Roquiem’. Despite being incredibly silly we all quite like it. It got quite a few hits but these were mostly misspellings of Mozart’s requiem. It’s also apparently the name of a song by “The Swallowtail Catastrophe”, a band from Oregon, USA. So this is still a possibility.
Googled “I need a band name” and found some websites that randomly generate band names…

the Band-O-Matic
These sites randomly put words together and mostly produce either very silly or very rude suggestions, such as “The ecstatic vegetables”, “fecal manoeuvre”, “Giant Space Ball”, “Vortex of Ass”, “priceless willy mango” and “favourite vein”…

How about Extreme Floor Mats – care of joescafe.
Interesting that it is named after a Frank Zappa song – as is most of my online naming “The Muffin Man”!
