Name That Band!!

[thatbloke]

So, in the same vein as the Name that Game and the Name That Film threads, I figured a "Name that Band" thread may also work, though I guess it could be a bit more difficult.

Long story short: Provide a clue of any type you like that would lead people to the name of a band or artist. The clues could, for instance, point directly to the band name, or to be more obscure perhaps to a song that that band has created. It could also be a picture or even a video.

Rules are the same as the other threads - one guess at a time, and no further guessing until you've been informed of whether or not your guess is correct.

Not sure if this will work, but let's give it a try regardless!


I'll start with the first clue leading to a band:

Inspriation.

Do you actually mean InSPIRAtion?

Hey,

Yes. I do.

Picky.

I actually thought it was a clever pun on the fact that all music is inspiration, and so "inspriation" would be about a band name that was a common word, but with letters switched around.

Then I learn it was just a typo.

, I say...

Cheers,

This is fairly tricky, actually... let's try:

Angry guitars and lyrics, this band wrote a song that shares a name with a 2010 film, though the song speaks of things in the US where the film focuses in the Middle East.

 

[Ronin Storm]

Clue #2: The band have also written a number of songs that have appeared on film soundtracks.

 

[Ronin Storm]

Clue #3: Their songs are often filled with expletives, as befits their angry tone, so much so that they were not initially popular in their home country of the USA but had much more success in Europe.

I still have no clue



...also I feel that this thread may die out rather quickly

 

[Sasser]

Green Day

 

[Ronin Storm]

Green Day

Nope. Not angry enough, I think.

 

[Ronin Storm]

I'll persist 'til this one is done, at least.

Clue #4: They had a surprise number 1 in the UK in the last couple of years with a song that had been released some time ago.

 

[Kasatka]

Rage against the machine. I thought of them earlier, but as this game is young still i didnt want to make a fool of myself

 

[Ronin Storm]

Rage against the machine.

Correct.

1 - Ronin Storm, Kasatka

Clue 1 - This band has been going for longer than i've been alive and has gone through a number of lineup changes.
