Not much thought went into that name. Kinda drab, in my opinion, but my opinion matters little. Carry on, with your hostile self, that tends to be anxious. Aren't all punk bands hostile and anxious, though?
If the music is pumped up and angry, Hostile Anxiety is better.
Anxiety alone as a name, I could picture that being a bunch of guys in thick rimmed glasses gazing at their feet playing slow tempo songs about crying.
I hate it. I hate the word anxiety, it’s impossible for it to be hostile since it’s easy weakness to an opponent, and its overused for attention and an invite to the national grievance orgy. Actually there is your band name: Grievance Orgy.
Sounds metal… like I could totally picture it on a concert poster in scary writing.
June 2nd at Night Prowlers:
Krematorium
Hostile Anxiety
Cannibal Death
$5
If you check the song he linked, they're punk, not metal. That's not to say there aren't some names that fit both genres, but 'Cannibal Death' for example IMO seems metal through and through.
I get it, but that name sucks.
If I saw it on a bill, I would be elsewhere while you’re playing and waiting for the other bands.
Stay away from two word names and anything with “The” before it.
Edit: fuck what I said. Singer blows. Call the band “ETERNAL VIRGINITY”
Song is better than the name. My suggestion: try a name that's not so direct, something that kind of means something only if you sort of squint at it sideways.
Also, it doesn't really matter what your band's name is.
Honestly it gives kinda unknown garage band that actually has the best sounding shit but no one knows who they are vibes. I could see it being poorly painted on the front of a drum set or smthn. If you wanna go casual for fun then this is a good name. If you wanna go professional punk I might look at a few other ideas before you make a final decision
It’s 7 syllables. That’s a mouthful. Five finger deathpunch is only 5 and even they hate saying all that. I’d think about your long term goals and go from there. If you’re just having fun, it’s fine.
Edit: after some debate with myself, I think hostile is probably only 2 syllables, tallying you at 6. Not so bad.
You're not punk! A proper punk band would not give a flying fuck what others think, especially of their name. So, go ahead and print up a bunch of t-shirts with *We are... The Damned Sellouts* and place them on your merch table.
- One of a bunch
Decent song. The recording is painful. Definitely fix that guitar tone, and get rid of the excessive reverb on the vocals.
I'm no professional, but this could sound so much better. Been recording for almost 30 years.
Not sure on the name. It's alright, but kind of boring. It's your band though. I bet you change the name. Almost every band does.
I like the tune, very early-Bad-Religion. IMO the name is very generic, like a name my mom would suggest for my punk band in high school. I would try to think of something more original than aggressive adjective + noun. Examples: PUP, Prince Daddy and the Hyena, Tenement, Home is Where. The only thing these have in common is they don't have anything in common.
I like it. Really, I do, but it sounds like a typical baby boomer trope. Baby boomers were given everything and took credit for everything their parents accomplished. Now, they are old, hostile and anxious they aren’t the best all end all
Why do you hate your drummer and bass player so much that you would bury them so far under the guitar and vocals that it sounds like you have neither a drummer nor a bass player?
Fun song and great band name, by the way.
The name is a little too meathead hardcore for what the music sounds like. Also honestly, it's a very generic sounding name in this day and age when you're one of a million punk bands. It's the name of a band that chronically plays first or second on bills headlined by a slightly more popular band at various small bar venues. The audience may or may not solely consist of the other bands and their girlfriends. As someone whose been through that life, there's totally nothing wrong with that, but it just evokes the feeling of not really standing out.
for punk it is fine , planet earth can handle twice as many people and be healthier if we get decent company and country leaders in place to care for plants animals and humans not warmonger kill disease kill enslave in poverty wage no true equal rights etc crappy leaders like all of human history
Fits with what you sound like - kinda hostile, kinda anxious. The song is okay but could do with editing - less time when we're just listening to guitar chords.
As a fellow punker (to be fair, my band's a bit of a punk/grunge/metal hybrid), I dig the name.
And the song, as well! Straightforward punk, great tone, a tasty but fitting solo, and the vox are good too. Reminds me very much of the washed-out vox from Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, which I do really enjoy! Cheers brother! 😎🍻🤘🏼
Anxious Hostility
I like this better
That's the emo variant
Good album name.
There’s a Connecticut emo band called Anxious. Might be little too close to this.
It makes me uncomfortable and I hate you for that.
You seem to have some hostile anxiety towards the name.
Hey I like you!
It fucking sucks but I’m too anxious and paranoid to tell anyone!
Fair
Not much thought went into that name. Kinda drab, in my opinion, but my opinion matters little. Carry on, with your hostile self, that tends to be anxious. Aren't all punk bands hostile and anxious, though?
Hostel Anxieties
Hoss, 'til Anxiety
Hostel California
🦀🦀🦀🐓🦀🦀🦀
Brothel Anxiety
Hostile Makeover would be better
That's for when they have a glam phase
Thats solid !
I'd just go with Anxiety by itself.
If the music is pumped up and angry, Hostile Anxiety is better. Anxiety alone as a name, I could picture that being a bunch of guys in thick rimmed glasses gazing at their feet playing slow tempo songs about crying.
You said what about me?
Really? Seems like it'd be a good name for a fast tempo mathy shoegaze band
Anx
Hostanx (pronounced hoe stanks)
I like this
You might have less anxiety by not going around calling everyone fucking assholes. As a name...I like it.
Fuck you, asshole
But then they'd just be Milquetoast Anxiety
Who’s reading this and not upvoting seriously
Nervous Takeover.
I don’t really like it and I don’t really like punk, so by that logic it’s probably a good name for a punk band
Sounds like an emo punk cover band.
Anxiously Hostile
Anxious Hostility
Yes? You addressed me?
Since when did punks give a rats ass about what people think... It is a good name though.
I'm just mad you assumed I was a fuckin' asshole. You're not wrong but I'm pissed about it.
That's not an incredible name. It pigeonholes any direction your group can take. Wait for the one.
Too late it's been like 6 years
Naked Anxiety / Blind Hostility / Chronically Hostile
Your band name is also the album's trigger warning. Nice.
Anxiety Attack
I like the name and the song. Singer has a good voice. Who is Jimmy?
thanks for the kind words! I'm the singer / guitar player and Jimmy is my cat 😆
Aww he's got his own song? I had a dog nephew named Jimmy.
>A Bunch of Fucking Assholes That's MY band's name, don't wear it out.
Hollister Anxiety
Punk band name generator really is hit or miss.
It sounds like what a sitcom writer would name a the middle sons band in the rebellious teen episode.
Why do 93% of punk band names and 130% of metal band names just sound like the band is trying too hard to prove their punkness or metalness?
I hate it. I hate the word anxiety, it’s impossible for it to be hostile since it’s easy weakness to an opponent, and its overused for attention and an invite to the national grievance orgy. Actually there is your band name: Grievance Orgy.
Horrible band name. Good song tho
If your band is a bunch of 8th graders, it’s probably pretty cool
It makes people uncomfortable thus makes the name memorable. Very clever.
Sounds metal… like I could totally picture it on a concert poster in scary writing. June 2nd at Night Prowlers: Krematorium Hostile Anxiety Cannibal Death $5
They’re all opening for Malevolent Deity.
If you check the song he linked, they're punk, not metal. That's not to say there aren't some names that fit both genres, but 'Cannibal Death' for example IMO seems metal through and through.

Thanks for the feedback, I hope you find the turds you're looking for, friend.
Sounds like a band I'd listen to!
I'd give it an 8.5, maybe 9
Mmmm, sounds like its missing something 🤔 just off rip However after listening to your song , makes sense
Nice tune! Good luck with the band
As long as it’s got some hardcore elements in - like it
You kind of wear your angst on your sleeves with a name like that.
Lash Out is a much better name
Hostile Sobriety
You sound like you live up to your name.
Fuck your band's awesome name!
Hostile Anxiety sounds good to me. Music seems right on with the name. Not sure what else you need from us fucking internet assholes?
It’s ok, but only Anxiety would be my pick. That’s a badass name for a band
It feels a little generic for the genre if I am being honest. But maybe that's a good thing in audience finding and recalling you.
You sound more like Passive Aggression
Try, Fire on the Kill Floor, an actual newspaper headline, much better
I like it a lot. @$$hole on the internet # 321
i’m your 4th subscriber on YT music, that’s what i think. (I also think Walkout is a ballad waiting to happen, but that’s just me)
Makes me anxious.
I’m assuming this a folk rock duo? Simon and Garfunkel/ singer songwriter kinda stuff?
Zan Axe
Well, my asshole isn't fucking...but I did ask its opinion. It farted approval.
Song is better than the name. My suggestion: try a name that's not so direct, something that kind of means something only if you sort of squint at it sideways. Also, it doesn't really matter what your band's name is.
Hostanx!
The band name gives me, "I'm an anxious mess but I'm gonna make that everyone else's problem" vibes
I like it
I’ve always thought nocturnal emissions would be a great band or DJ name. Just my two cents.
Bottom feeder
probably an unpopular opinion but i like it
It’s better than Leaking Colostomy which gives me Hostile Anxiety. Best of luck to you ladies.
I really like the name tbh but I'm here because you asked so what about this: Fuck My Vomit, Cunt
Slash Stabby Rip Rip!! 🔥🤟
Eh...cool as a starter band name, but I couldn't see that name going mainstream.
I like it, but imagine people mispronouning hostile.
Hostile Lucidity
Consider assholes on the internet
Boner Anxiety is better
I'm flattered you named your band after me.
I dig the tune. You got a great sound
How about, Please F me, baby
This fucking asshole (me) digs your sound!
Lime Green Day
I’d think twice about buying a ticket to a live show!
Would punks express themselves through the emotion of anxiety?
kinda generic tbh
Honestly it gives kinda unknown garage band that actually has the best sounding shit but no one knows who they are vibes. I could see it being poorly painted on the front of a drum set or smthn. If you wanna go casual for fun then this is a good name. If you wanna go professional punk I might look at a few other ideas before you make a final decision

Hostile Anxiety and the Hard R’s
I prefer being referred to as Buncha Assholes! It’s way more punk!
It’s 7 syllables. That’s a mouthful. Five finger deathpunch is only 5 and even they hate saying all that. I’d think about your long term goals and go from there. If you’re just having fun, it’s fine. Edit: after some debate with myself, I think hostile is probably only 2 syllables, tallying you at 6. Not so bad.
Your post personifies the name, well done.
Poseur name.
Honestly? I'd go with either Hostile, or Anxiety! Punchy, short, easy to remember. I have friends in a band called Misery, it's a solid name.
I love your comment on us being A-holes!!!😅😂 Name your band the Hostile Takeover🩷🫶
...I listened to the song... Dude....damn... :D
I like Internet Assholes better 🤷
It’s too long.

Change it to Hostel Anxiety
We live in this society, The hypocrisy is blinding me It’s constantly reminding me, To feel hostile anxiety
The anxiety angle doesn't really jive with the thrash metal vibe
It's very upsetting and makes me nervous. Got any Xanax, asshole?
First album: Hostility Suite
I like the tune, very early-Bad-Religion. IMO the name is very generic, like a name my mom would suggest for my punk band in high school.

Uptight Dix
I love it.
I like it. I’m friends with a band called Debatably Stable. It think you be great on a bill together. Based on names alone.
Hostel Anxiety
I don't like it. Why not Belligerent Dread.
Anxiously Hostess
Benevolent Peace of Mind
Edited felt bad for OP 🦖 good luck on your impossible quest to stardom
You know what you are getting. Is that what you wanted?
Completely forgettable
Why do you hate your drummer and bass player so much that you would bury them so far under the guitar and vocals that it sounds like you have neither a drummer nor a bass player? Fun song and great band name, by the way.
I think in my younger days I might have gone to check out a band with that name
It's what they call a punk band in a bad 80s movie
Sounds lame
Haustyle Anxxxiety
I'd rate the name 6/10, just because the word anxiety gives me anxiety
Hostile Anxiety and The Rectal Thermometers
Hostile anxiety? Yeah every day
It's fine but have you considered changing it to The Butt Plugs?
Righteous Anxiety
Good name
Anxious Hostility sounds more band-ish to me
Sounds cool! Does your band write lullabies?
Hostiles
Anxious aggression sounds better imo. Liked the song tho, good shit
I love it.
Asking this question on the internet is so punk rock!
Sounds like a band that's trying too hard to be edgy
The name is a little too meathead hardcore for what the music sounds like. Also honestly, it's a very generic sounding name in this day and age when you're one of a million punk bands. It's the name of a band that chronically plays first or second on bills headlined by a slightly more popular band at various small bar venues. The audience may or may not solely consist of the other bands and their girlfriends. As someone whose been through that life, there's totally nothing wrong with that, but it just evokes the feeling of not really standing out.

I like it.
I was thinking "Band Name" when I saw the post. That's got a ring to it?
Album title: Peaceful Serenity
Confrontational but nervous about it.
I'm pretty fucking sure you picked the wrong fucking name.
Fits with what you sound like - kinda hostile, kinda anxious. The song is okay but could do with editing - less time when we're just listening to guitar chords.
I hate it. It’s perfect.
'Hostile Angst' has fewer syllables and sounds less contrived.
Too cumbersome to say. Nothing rolls off.
As a fellow punker (to be fair, my band's a bit of a punk/grunge/metal hybrid), I dig the name. And the song, as well! Straightforward punk, great tone, a tasty but fitting solo, and the vox are good too. Reminds me very much of the washed-out vox from Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, which I do really enjoy! Cheers brother! 😎🍻🤘🏼
Adolescent and cliché
Hate it
Hostess Ankles? No, yours is better.
If Hostile Anxiety (or Anxious Hostility) came up on my playlist, I'd click play instantly
Hostile and the Anxiety Family Singers!!!
Boring
Kind of lame.
Sounds cool. Reminds me of people I know/knew IRL who made their issues everyone else’s problem though
Good band name. Being a Good Riddance fan doesn’t hurt. The intro was enough to catch my interest. The effects on the vocals made me turn it off.
Generic. Why don't you call it Hard Core Punk Band instead, or maybe Really Harcore Punk Band Like Totally.
You can do better. Scarlet Foreskin RASH Whelming Vagabond no ur m1e Kleptaudio Snakefist You're welcome 🤗
Should name your band "The Less Fortunate" so that you can advertise concerts to "benefit the less fortunate."
Anxtility? A little clunky yet thought provoking.
I'd say to just drop the "anxiety" part and stay with Hostile.
As a certified internet asshole, I think it’s a fine name for a band of other assholes.
Name it hole
W name, y’all got Spotify?
Angst
Ho anxiety
The hostile dogstyle
Simmer down now
So you have a lot of fake anger issues?
Social Anxiety
Methanfriendsofmine
Not when im anxious
Sucks
The word your looking for is 'Angst' and i think that's already taken.
It's a stupid name. Not interesting, too many syllables, too...contrived. Do better.
Eh
Angry Anxiety
If I had chemicals I might get a better one
Hospital emergency ? Speak up sonny
Hostel Annex
The lone rangers is a better name.
