cloudburst Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 (edited) I frequently take my hat off to tribute bands who come up with a real cracker of a name. Did a quick search and couldn't find a thread. So here goes. And they don't have to exist yet. Couple of examples to get the ball rolling: - One Step Behind (a Madness tribute) - Fleetwood Mock - Status Quote - Nearvana And one I dreamt up myself and sways fancied setting up: - Rehab Sprout CB Edited July 9, 2013 by cloudburst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

el borracho Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 My favourite is Slack Babbath - no points for guessing who they are a tribute to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damonjames Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 The Ramona's are supposed to be awesome! Some others that spring to mind are mentallica and Pearl Scam. My current band is Smells Like Seattle a tribute to the whe grunge era Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassTractor Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 The Young Neils are good, and Neil himself seemed to think so too, as he wore their t-shirt on stage some years back, and IMS had one or some of them play with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Can testify for the Ramonas; saw them a few years ago and they were everything you'd want from a Ramones tribute, tonnes of energy and fun to be found. On inventive names, I'm sure I've heard of a tribute to Bon Jovi called By Jovi - never seen them but the name cracks a smile every time.

borisbrain Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Although a genre band rather than a specific tribute, our lot take punk influences from the likes of the Undertones and the Buzzcocks. Result - The Undercocks. BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lou24d53 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Always thought 'Ocean Cover Scene' would be a good tribute name. You'd only get about two albums worth of decent material to work with though before you start to find the dross.....well, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
