It seems like so many names are taken; sometimes you will even hear about a really good band having to change names before they sign due to copyright (I personally have heard of this at least twice)
Is there a database or some way to check?If I start a band how can I check to see if the band name is taken?Search on google and myspace!If I start a band how can I check to see if the band name is taken?google it, or look for their myspace
