    The Shanty Swing Band

    One drunken night in a tiki bar, a bunch of my friends cooked up this idea for a band that was entirely too crazy to ever work, especially with our musical and organizational skills.

    The idea was for it to be sort of a folk-metal/jazz fusion thing that played sea shanties.

    I feel like it’s also worth mentioning that this idea came about well before COVID when sea shanties had a little moment.

    I think by the time we all sobered up the next day we realized it wasn’t going to work, but we sure as hell left the bar that night thinking we were onto something.

    Part of the concept also involved a “gun player” who would fire off some blanks from a flintlock pistol, sort of like a budget-friendly 1812 overture because something something pirates.

    Regardless of the actual feasibility of this project, I still really dig the name.

      There’s a real band/artist called Houkago Grind Time. It’s definitely not for everyone but I think it’s sick.

    “Ghostwolves”

    “The Ghost Wolves? That sounds dumb.”

    “No ‘the’. Just ‘Ghostwolves’.”

    This may sound pretty normo, but Spinal Tap is a very funny faux metal band name.

    I also liked Mouserat from Parks.

    When it comes to fake band names Im a basic bitch it would seem
