Looking for bands that have similar names and also similar sounds but for coincidental reasons.
Let’s keep this in CS even though I’ll add some fun by awarding points:
0 points: cover bands
0: band already mentioned by another poster
1/2: bands that have similar names and sounds because their names are related to their genre (Satan’s Mistress and Devil’s Rejects are both death metal bands)
1/2: bands that have similar names because one’s name is an homage to another (The Birds and Birdsong, the lead singer of whom is a fan of The Birds)
1: bands whose names don’t have anything to do with their genre
+1: bands have played in the same festival at the same time (Lollapalooza, Lilith Fair, etc) - two bands at the same festival with non genre names would be 2 total, three bands 3 total, etc
+2: one band has opened for another, or they have collaborated, or the lead singer has made a cameo at the other’s concert
Score yourself, and feel free to correct someone elses score - minus points if they failed to notice they have a repeat entry, plus point if they didn’t know about a collaboration
Names should be fairly similar - Deathrats and La Morte and Autopsy are all about death and count, but Deathrats and Satan’s Mistress don’t because they are merely both macabre
My contribution: Coldplay and Snow Patrol
Total: 1 point
