[![MerchHero-100-Worst-Band-Names-Ever](https://a3.typepad.com/6a01901b9a0100970b01b7c73cf8b3970b-200wi "MerchHero-100-Worst-Band-Names-Ever")](http://a3.typepad.com/6a01901b9a0100970b01b7c73cf8b3970b-popup?ref=hypebot.com)

The [New Musical Express (NME)](http://www.nme.com/?ref=hypebot.com) has compiled an impressive list of the **weirdest band names of 2015.** Alongside that list, they posted their reaction to the name, their expectations, and their first impressions. While some of the bands lived up to their not-so-great names, a couple served as reminders to never judge a book by its cover – or a band by its name.

Take for example, **Acid Baby Jesus.** To me, it sounds like the last ten minutes of a sermon you wish you weren't sitting through coupled with a bad acid trip, but the music, once I got past the name, actually wasn't nearly as bad as crawling out of your skin in a room full of sinners.

Have a listen:

The list goes on on [NME.com](http://www.nme.com/blogs/festivals-blog/whats-in-a-name-europe-s-weirdest-band-names?ref=hypebot.com) \- for a fun way to wind down the week, poll your office mates. Ask them what they expect from the band name and then play the music to see if the shoe fits.
