The worst part of starting a new band is trying to come up with a band name. Inevitably, you just sit around on the porch coming up with the worst band names possible, which is usually kindof hilarious but also kindof pointless.

Josh told us a story about how he got beat up before his Bar Mitzvah and got a black eye, and when he showed up, his uncle also had a black eye. So for a while we decided we were called "Black Eye Bar Mitzvah". But later we realized that Josh is the only one in the band that is jewish, and that Black Eye Bar Mitzvah would be better for a jewish hardcore band than whatever the kids call the crap we're playing these days.

Later we decided that since we're trying to get in good with all the seattle hipster indie rock kids, that we should have some kind of ironic band name, since hipsters love irony almost as much as they love PBR. So for a week we were "The Iron-On Ironics". But then we remembered that we don't actually like hipsters after all.

Right now we're torn between the names "Firetruck Firetruck" or "Godspeed you, black pajamas!" but we probably don't actually like either of those.

Stupid band names.
