And Now, Eight Songs By Bands Named ‘Toilet’
Flush your mind clean with tunes from these clever commode callsigns.
There’s a limitless supply of potential band names out there. You may say something during a casual conversation one day that has just the right cadence, oddness and number of syllables, you may take a line of dialogue from your favorite movie, or you may spend months thinking and overthinking on the right pairing of two basic, simple words that perfectly describe your one-man electronic wub gazepunkcore project.
Alternately, you can say “fuck all that lol” and name yourself after the porcelain fixture you just took a shit in.
So let’s hear from eight bands who did just that, plucked from the murky un-plumbed depths of bandcamp itself.
Sounds like: A horrible Weezer cover band made up of stoned Walgreens employees.
FFO: Stabbing yourself in the ear, being a fuckslap, Weezer demos.
Rating: 2/10
Sounds like: A very lonely high schooler and his 4-track had an afternoon free to either record this or torture small animals.
