Let's play a music game! I assure you all my degree from the Trollheart School of Music Games is fully legit.
So I'll post a made-up name for a band that would be the opposite of the name of a real band. Then you all guess which real band it's the opposite of, and then once it's guessed and approved by the original poster, the person who guessed correctly makes up their own "opposite band". Feel free to get creative with the words you "opposite-ify". I'll start:
Hotwork
Coldplay.
- Cock order
The Ordinaries
The Specials 8)
Shrink Satnavs

Never really seen a bunch of cats demonstrate, but I bet it's cute.

I thought of Grow maps, but that sounds like an awful band name tbh.
An extra clue pls, JJ. Giz a clue!

You are very close 😯

Your turn.
Swell Maps, a very local band. I like the focus on the local. Looked it up on wiki and saw that "
Swell Maps were an English experimental DIY, early punk and post-punk rock group from Birmingham".
"English experimental DIY"- Ooh matron.
That was a good one, JJ.
Sorry, back over to you, Lexi:

:laughing: Not vertically, but horizontally.
Granted, a better proposition would be The Neck-liberators or the Neck-widerners.
You must mean Neckleback.. which is also slang for raising your shoulders and folding your neck and chin into your upper body 🍷
Surely though that would then be Dime Forward?

It's not Nickleback either. Nor is it The Gurners. :P :o
Another clue is "The Looseners" (in the Dime area). They were a
kcor band from the
KU, and had a lot of
failure in the '70s, according to
ikiw.
Surely not Squeeze? :-\
Nope not Squeeze. Correct hand movement though. But in the dime area. And there are a few of them, so it's The Xxxxxxxxxs"
I didn't realise the hits they wrote. Anyone recognize the excerpts below? I hope someone gets it soon, or else I'll have to try something completely different, such as going bonkers :banghead: :coldsweat:
Spoiler
Chorus song 1:
There's always the sun, mm (always the sun)
There's always the sun
Always, always (always the sun)
Chorus song 2:
...never a frown with golden brown...
Right. The Stranglers, doh.

John Viscount and the Princes and Princesses
The only band coming to mind is Christine and the Queens, but I don't think they're well known outside of France.
Could you add a hint or two, TH? Is it a literal one, i.e. in the spirit of "Jeanne McVities and the Peasants and Shoe Polishers"?
All I'll say is that John Viscount usually performs alone under his own name, the Princes and Princesses are his band but not normally mentioned (think Nick Cave/Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds) and we're talking just a regular guy here, who does it the hard way down Copperhead Road. If that don't give it away, well, shoot, you're all a buncha Johnny Come Latelys.
I was never very good at the long band names, so I probably won't get this one but will keep thinking.
Unless it's Mike and the Mechanics? I'm sure they would have been up for a bit of hard-wiring with a bit of copper. :laughing:
Negatory, good buddy. Think more American. Think more country.
One last clue: The revolution starts now, apparently.
Okay, so I won't propose Gil Scott and the Herons.
Trying to think Country, perhaps American rock and bluegrass (which I lump together..)

How about
Steve Earle and The Dukes ? (though I don't know how John is the opposite of Steve)
