Presented without comment, because the names speak for themselves, here are my (Ryan’s) favorite band names I discovered for the first time in 2023. They were chosen for their humor, boldness, and overall memorability. Remember, this is just about the names. Not the music. I’ll list the names and link the albums and socials below. Let us know if the artists sounded like you expected. And remember – unhinged is meant as a compliment!
