Bands that got their name from another band's material
 

This happens all of the time, so let's make a huge list. These are the ones that immediately come to mind.

Set Your Goals (CIV album Set Your Goals)
This Time Next Year (The Movielife album This Time Next Year)
The Story So Far (New Found Glory song The Story So Far)
All Time Low (New Found Glory's song Head On Collision)

In Fear and Faith - Circa Survive song title
This Armistice - TREOS song title
Venona - see above

Mine is a You Blew It! song. Thievery is where it's at, kids.

Like Moths to Flames - Thrice song
Four Year Strong - reference to a lyric in a Get Up Kids song Michelle With One L
Texas is the Reason - Misfits song Bullet
Taking Back Sunday - Breaking Pangaea song Sick Day(?)
Apologies, I Have None - Grade song Tension Between Stillness and Motion

Weatherbox is a Mission of Burma song.
Nightmares for a Week is from a Jawbreaker song.
Ma Jolie is a Bear vs. Shark song.
Tenement Kids is a song by The Boys.

Haha, I remember someone a short while ago on tumblr asked You Blew It! if they could use one of their songs for a band name. Was that you guys?


To contribute to the thread:

Man Overboard - Blink-182 song
Pretty Girls Make Graves - The Smiths song
Funeral For a Friend - Elton John song
Old Gray - Merchant Ships song? (I know the song is Old Grey but)

Heaven In Her Arms (Converge song)
Trapped Under Ice (Metallica song)
End of a Year (Embrace song)
Old Wounds (Young Widows record)

Might have been! I remember our old drummer saying something about fighting them or going on tour.

Radiohead (Talking Heads song -- 1986 album True Stories)

Veil Of Maya (Cynic song)
Through The Eyes Of The Dead (Cannibal Corpse's "Staring Through The Eyes Of The Dead")

Motionless in White (Eighteen Visions song)
The Damned Things (Ram Jam song)
Man Overboard (Blink 182 song)

We Are Scientists! and Scary Kids Scaring Kids are from Cap'n Jazz songs.

I remember reading that We Are Scientists! wasn't from the Cap'n Jazz song, it was just a coincidence.

Hatebreed - Misfits ("Hatebreeders")
Hellogoodbye - The Beatles ("Hello Goodbye")
Winds of Plague - Unearth ("Endless")
Overkill - Motorhead ("Overkill")
Hit the Lights - Metallica ("Hit the Lights")
Bury Your Dead - The Haunted ("Bury Your Dead")
Between the Buried and Me - Counting Crows ("Ghost Train")
Bad Brains - Ramones ("Bad Brain")

How many of these are actually based from the names? Some of these I have doubts about.
