This morning myself and Ollie felt that we weren't quite clicking with the band name we settled upon previously. Whilst at the time we felt it was the ideal choice with the meaning we had attached to it, we've been updating our websites and just didn't think it was working.
We had to make an executive decision in the absence of the other two bandmates and thus we went through the naming process once again. This time we wanted to go in to more detail and provide ourselves with more options, so we came up with a list of adjectives and began associating other words to them. We felt as though we needed to go through a much more in-depth process this time around in order to select our name so that's what we did. We listed the most noticeable adjectives and tried combining some of them together. For example, we had 'hollow' and 'hero' and experimented by putting them together. We felt no real affection for 'Hollow Heroes' but we did like another of the combinations we created.
We had the words 'rough' and 'cut' and immediately after putting them together we decided it was the perfect name. It's suitably edgy, it's dynamic and it possesses a little bit of indie charm. We feel that our band's identity is surmised perfectly with the name and even though it's just myself and Ollie that have voiced it, we hope the others will appreciate it too.
The two absentees will be with us in half an hour so we will have a group discussion on it and hopefully settle upon Rough Cuts as our new name. It may take a bit of persuading because Safiye was an advocate of Clique originally, but it's got a ring to it, which will hopefully tip the balance in our favour when we suggest it.
