We've put together a list of the 10 best band names at Reading Festival 2014 and found out where the unusual names come from.
It takes a lot of work to come up with a good band name.
Something that&apos;s catchy, something people will remember, and something that hasn&apos;t been used before.
Every year the Reading Festival line-up has a few name gems, some you&apos;ve heard of before and some which make you go &apos;no, that can&apos;t be a real band, can it?&apos;.
To celebrate this year&apos;s Reading Festival we&apos;ve come up with our top 10 band names, and provided a little information in case you haven&apos;t heard of them all before.
Take a look and let us know about your favourite band names by tweeting @cazcook27 or leaving a comment.
1) Imagine Dragons - Main Stage Saturday.
Rumour has it the name Imagine Dragons is actually an anagram of several other words but the band have kept those words a secret since forming in 2008.
Regardless of what the words behind it might be, the Las Vegas four-piece get our vote for one of the most fun names on the bill.
We like this because it&apos;s clever. Pronounced &apos;subtract&apos;, but spelt differently with that &apos;k&apos; sneaking in there, this is a nice little bit of naming word play. In an interview with Under The Radar magazine SBTRKT said his name is about identity, and the subtraction refers to both himself and the subtraction of letters from the word.
SBTRKT is a musical project which has remixed songs by acts like Basement Jaxx and Mark Ronson. He likes to keep his anonymity intact so he wears modern interpretations of native ceremonial masks on stage.
Royal Blood are the band everyone is talking about this year, and some of that might be down to a catchy band name. Juxtaposing the grittiness of the word blood with the idea of royalty and elegance, it makes for an interesting name. We don&apos;t think they actually have royal blood in them, but you never know they could be long lost cousins twice removed.
The band - Mike Kerr and Ben Thatcher - haven&apos;t really discussed where the name came from but they&apos;ve been building a strong fan base with their rock sound since forming in 2013.
Liverpudlian electro dance group Tea Street Band say their name came from the mind of keyboard/synth player James Albertina and they liked it because it &apos;rolled off the tongue&apos;.
Being Brits, we love tea and we love the name Tea Street Band. It&apos;s catchy and fun, much like the band&apos;s sound.
We were really hoping Of Mice and Men took their name from the John Steinbeck novel and it turns out they did! Singer Austin Carlile has been quoted as saying the great American novel was the inspiration behind the title, along with the phrase, &apos;the best laid plans of mice and men often go astray&apos;.
The Californian metalcore band are not to be confused with Icelandic indie folk band Of Monsters and Men.
Baby Godzilla is an appropriate name for this Nottingham metal band. With their pounding drums and roaring vocals they&apos;ve definitely got the Godzilla power going on. We&apos;re not sure where baby comes from but it must make for some awesome merchandise images.
You&apos;ve got to love a UK act who names their band after the unpredictable British weather. The pseudonym of Adio Marchant, who was previously co-vocalist with Kid British, Bipolar Sunshine just hits the nail on the head, especially when it comes to festival weather.
In an interview with theboombox.com Adio said his stage name came from wanting to create an ideology for himself and choosing a name which would allow him to write whatever he wanted.
Welsh rock band Catfish and the Bottlemen are allegedly named after a busker, Catfish the Bottleman, who vocalist Van McCann met in Australia when he was younger.
They&apos;re the kind of band who will have audiences dancing in the sunshine at Reading with their high-energy, noisy rock and roll songs.
The Amazing Snakeheads is a pretty amazing name. A rock&apos;n&apos;roll/garage blues band, The Amazing Snake Heads released their debut album Amphetamine Ballads earlier this year and its packed with fierce guitars and some pretty ferocious vocals. You can bet there will be some pretty intense moshing going on when they&apos;re on stage.
When Tim Burton released Edward Scissorhands in 1990 he probably didn&apos;t expect a rapper would take inspiration from it nearly 15 years later.
But step up, Edward Scissortongue. Real name Thomas Hawkins, Edward Scissortongue is a gritty, urban rap artist who is getting himself noticed on the hip-hop scene.
