Fucked Up are pretty rad. They’ll play them on the radio and just refer to them as F’d Up. I’m sure that since they’ve decided on these names, if people choose to not give them a listen because it, they don’t likely give a F.

There’s a local band here called Raucamole. While not vulgar, it’s just a bloody stupid name like Holy Fuck. I can’t imagine why bands tend to arbitrarily select godawful names. From a business perspective, a name means a great deal – I can’t count how many artists I’ve checked out just because I liked their name. I’m sure there’s a large demographic that’s attracted to sophomoric and/or scatalogical names. In this case, it’s not a big deal for me – ‘cause I think Holy Fuck is solidly mediocre, while Fuck Buttons are just talentless hacks.

Matt Schulz from Enon does the drumming for Holy Fuck. They have a great sound. You’re right about the name. The Canadian government cited their name as one reason for cutting funding that was being used to help artists offset touring costs. They weren’t at fault, but it’s not surprising to see them end up with the blame.
