As part of research and planning, I looked at established Indie band names to gain an idea of not only the choice of names but the reason for it. Some indie band names are as followed: Bon Iver, The Smiths, Paolo Nutini, Bloc Party, The Klaxons, The Neighbourhood, The Kooks, Bombay Bicycle Club, Daughter, Atlas Genius, Lydia, Fun, Pegasus Bridge, The Perishers, The Tallest Man On Earth, The Films, The Fall Of Troy, Parachute.
A recurring theme, which can be seen throughout the list above, is that the band names start with 'The'. This could be because they are describing a particular thing or person such as 'The Neighbourhood'. What can also be agreed upon is that the names are all unique and in some cases like 'The Tallest Man On Earth' illustrate examples of metaphors; possibly because they are aspiring to become something.
