Website Music Machinery did a study on the names of the top 500 artists throughout every 5 years since the 1950’s. They were looking to see if the length of band names has been increasing throughout the years(above image). They found that it was not, but out of this study we got the list of longest band names. The winner? A UK band we had never heard of called “Tim and Sam’s Tim and the Sam Band with Tim and Sam” that formed in 2010. Second place not surprisingly is longtime rockers “…And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead.” See the top 11 longest band names after the jump:
