Naming my band

I have decided to create a band in the "alternative-rock" genre, as that is the genre of music that I listen to and appreciate most. I have decided that the band is going to be made up of four friends from the North East of England, making it something young people can relate to, and something that older people can admire as well. The band will be named "Northern Downpour", and I got this idea from a popular Panic! At The Disco song with the same name. The song is about forgetting your problems and your past by dreaming and using your imagination, at the same time being a massive "wake up call" for some listeners. It's a very meaningful song to me, and I'd like to think that this fictional band would create meaningful music for others.

To me, the name Northern Downpour has very specific connotations. "Northern" is reflecting where the boys are from, showing that they will never forget about their humble upbringing and the roots that they call home. "Downpour" connotes a heavy rainfall, and I believe this is a touch of pathetic fallacy to help reflect the band's sound - they have inspirational, meaningful, and sometimes melancholic, lyrics  that prove to their listeners that every cloud truly does have a silver lining. "Downpour" can also symbolise an outbreak of emotions, as when you cry (referring to the rainfall previously mentioned) it can be cathartic and can improve your mood. By listening to the band's music, they hope to achieve the same effect.

Northern Downpour are all about their music, and do not try to sell their image like some artists in the charts nowadays. Their focus will be solely on the music they create and the fans they have. They will be a very down to earth, edgy, "indie" band as there is a niche in the market for indie bands at the moment.

They will have all sorts of social media accounts, meaning they can easily gain fans from all over the world and from all different age ranges and social backgrounds. By having a band this easily accessible, fans will truly believe they have a connection with the members.

I am insure about the band's image and their branding at this time but hope to create something truly unique as my project develops.
