Bands Who Changed Their Names After Releasing at Least One Album
When starting out as a band, one of the most difficult aspects is finding a good name. Having a good name can be of the one of the most important details to get right, as it can be the difference in someone deciding whether or not to even listen to your music. Having a good brand goes hand in hand with having a good band.
As we’ve seen numerous times with some of our favorite bands, this process leads to a series of name changes before deciding on a final moniker. For example, the Beatles went through four different personas before they settled on a final one, so getting it right can take some time.
In the case of the bands on this list, names were changed even after they started releasing music. See below our picks for bands that changed their name after the debut of their first record.
