We’ve been spending a lot of time mulling over the type of verbal abuse that’s directed toward women lately, but in discussing the insults’ misogyny and sexism, we’re ignoring the fact that many of the more colorful anti-woman diss attempts would actually make pretty terrific band names. Pick up your bass guitar, your tambourine, and your mixing board— we’re about to make the hate rock the fuck out.
Before we turn up the speakers to 11, it’s important to note that these insult band names are real; they were drawn from personal experience, Anna’s post about hurtful insults, the mencallmethings hashtag page on Twitter, and Herman Cain. Ready? A-one. A-two. A-one, two, three, four.
Fat Tyrannical Liberal Maniac A roller derby-themed all-woman ska band that never planned to be any bigger than the Boston supper club scene, they’re taking their newfound status as indie rock sensations in stride. “I guess the 90’s really are back,” says frontwoman Hella Fitzgerald.
Fuckpuddle DJ Fuckpuddle is well known around Ibiza hotspots, but relatively unheard of elsewhere. That will undoubtedly change now that his music has been selected to feature prominently in the next edition of Grand Theft Auto.
Feminazi Cunt This is an all female death metal band from Latvia. They’re FEMEN’s favorite band and Peaches mentioned them in a recent interview. The drummer performs wearing only men’s briefs and diaphragms taped over her nipples. They’re really loud and don’t speak any English.
Babykiller Contrary to the violent sounding name, Babykiller is a homeschooled brother-sister duo from Eastern Washington named Brother and Sister Higgins. They discovered bluegrass when they were just children (their father is Thelonious Higgins, who is widely recognized as the grandfather of emo bluegrass) and have updated the genre to reflect their solitude and alienation. Their first EP is a 10 minute long recording of the duo playing banjo with kitchen utensils.
Carpetmuncher Laid back heroin chic rapper from Brooklyn who makes no secret of preferring to date women with big, bushy pubes. His first album, “Muff Diving,” is banned in Ireland for its obscene album art. Carpetmuncher has opened for Reggie Watts.
Socialist Pigfucker The theatrical lead singer of this band jokingly describes himself as a honky tonk Satanist. They dress like Amish people but their lyrics are disturbing and violent. Socialist Pigfucker has been terrifying small dives in rural Kentucky since 1997.
Frigid Chilling, atmospheric electronica created by an autistic Norwegian tween known only as Inge.
