When our esteemed
designer Josh Baker heard that Dignan was playing in our studio, he thought
Dungen was coming in. Fortunately, both bands are awesome so he wasn’t
disappointed—just a little confused. But it got us thinking about other bands
with names that are too much alike. Here are our favorites:
1. Deerhunter vs.
Deerhoof vs. Deer Tick vs. The Dear Hunter
2. Delta Spirit vs. Duke Spirit
3. Patti Smith vs. Patty
Smyth
4. The Killers vs. The
Kills
6. Cranberries vs.
Raspberries
7. The Duchess &
the Duke vs. The Duke & The King
8. Supergrass vs.
Supertramp
9. The Hives vs. The
Vines
10. Wye Oak vs. The Oaks
vs. Among the Ash and Oak
11. Hot Hot Heat vs.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
12. Ladyhawk vs.
Ladyhawke
14. Cloud Cult vs. Cloud
Room
15. Ryan Adams vs. Bryan
Adams


How about:
Crystal Castles vs. Crystal Antlers vs. The Antlers
Horse the Band vs. Band of Horses
The Verve vs. The Verve Pipe
Cake vs. Sea & Cake
Also DEERFOOT... a much better jazzy alternative...
