Always fond of "The American Medical Association" from The Illuminatus! Trilogy
and
"The Band with Rocks In" from Discworld
Freckle Bitch’s in the video game Saints Row. It is a spoof on Wendy’s. Very inappropriate but that was the theme of the game.
OP said "band" not "brand"
Strontium Goat from the Thursday Next books by Jasper Fforde
This may sound pretty normo, but Spinal Tap is a very funny faux metal band name.
I also liked Mouserat from Parks.
When it comes to fake band names Im a basic bitch it would seem
Sex Bob-Omb, could be a candidate?
Technically a real band because of the movie
Dolphin holocaust
Oh I like that
The Exits
Pixar's "Buy n' Large" and "Allinol" are pretty clever.
OP said band, not brand lol
"Ghostwolves"
"The Ghost Wolves? That sounds dumb."
"No 'the'. Just 'Ghostwolves'."

The Shanty Swing Band
One drunken night in a tiki bar, a bunch of my friends cooked up this idea for a band that was entirely too crazy to ever work, especially with our musical and organizational skills.
The idea was for it to be sort of a folk-metal/jazz fusion thing that played sea shanties.
I feel like it's also worth mentioning that this idea came about well before COVID when sea shanties had a little moment.
I think by the time we all sobered up the next day we realized it wasn't going to work, but we sure as hell left the bar that night thinking we were onto something.
Part of the concept also involved a "gun player" who would fire off some blanks from a flintlock pistol, sort of like a budget-friendly 1812 overture because something something pirates.
Regardless of the actual feasibility of this project, I still really dig the name.
Houkago Tea Time!
