Dude, our band's called F*** Buttons! (Credit: Gary Wolstenholme/Redferns)
If there actually were a swear jar for bands, these groups would be broke paying off their debts. The simple act of saying the name of their own band would cost them money. That's right. They're bold, they're bad, they're bands. And we're not allowed to fully spell out their names as to not offend your sensibilities: It's your Buzzworthy Blog guide to bands with curse words in their name.
If you're a band, the question is, why do this? Why make it difficult for upstanding publications like the Christian Science Monitor, The New York Times and, um, Buzzworthy to write about you? The answer? Because they can! Who joins a band to follow the rules!?
Without further ado, here's your handy guide to bands with NSFW names!
1.) F*** Buttons: Shockingly, these guys are British. You'd think they'd have better manners, right? This duo make some truly mind-altering electronic psychedelia. Check out their 2009 album Tarot Sport for a taste.
2.) F***ed Up: Possibly the greatest true punk-rock band around. Not only is the band called something naughty, but this Canadian hard-core troupe's singer goes by the name "Pink Eye." Still, totally life-changing tunes. Check out their Chemistry Of Common Life album for starters.
3.) Holy F***: What is it with electronic music and four-letter words? Who knows, but this Canadian quartet are known for making listeners invoke their name with their powerful dance-rock.
4.) Sh** Robot: Wha... HEY! A curveball to all you f-word addicts. We could not let the s-word pass us by--especially when the example we have is pretty much the best band name ever. Sh** Robot is actually the work of one man, Marcus Lambkin, who just released a dope, minimal electronic album with the incredible title From The Cradle To The Rave.
Not into NSFW band names? Opt out.
