Band Name

For our band name, we have decided to go with... The Porcupines!

There were a few factors which influenced this decision. Firstly, as the song is by a band called The Pretenders, we thought we'd pay homage to this by also using The P.... Having a band name with 'The' at the start is not uncommon for a band of this genre and era, for example, The Beatles, The Clash, The Rolling Stones, and many many others. Another reason we decided to go with The Porcupines is the use of the animal name. Again, many artists choose to use animal names in their name, The Beatles, The Animals, and more recently, Arctic Monkeys are just a few examples.

With these factors in mind, we narrowed it down to The Porcupines!
