In the age of the internet, we expect to be able to get what we want at the very click of a button, thanks to Google.
Our furniture, our final bid in the eBay auction, our clothes, and most universally, all of our music. We want it all accessible with ease.
However, sometimes the search for an artist or band can become obscured by the very artists themselves, with band names that lend themselves to being lost in the worldwide web, somewhere dark where not even Google can retrieve them.
These artists often use names that are rather simple, such as “Beirut” or “Justice”, which couldn’t possibly be googled properly without the word “band” following after.
I just want to listen to “Real Estate” without seeing property prices for my local area, okay?
Here are seven of our favourite artists and bands that are impossible to google. Shoutout to “Washington”, “Javelin”, “Love” and “Beach House”, who didn’t make the cut, but are equally as difficult to search for.
1. Tennis
Listen to ‘In The Morning I’ll Be Better’ below:
In the world of sport-related band names, Tennis tops the lot as being the most difficult to find. Everyone loves Tennis (the sport), and so it makes it quite the challenge trying to listen to ‘In the Morning I’ll Be Better’ without seeing images of Roger Federer and Serena Williams first.
2. Priest
Listen to ‘Waiting for the End to Come’ below:
Priest is difficult to find for many reasons. First of all, the band Priests has been making waves for years now, and there’s already another artist by the name of Priest. Not to mention that if you type “Priest waiting for the end to come” you may just see something totally different to this incredible song above. To make things worse, her latest album was called “Priest.” Someone really doesn’t want to be found.
3. Father
Listen to ‘Lotto feat. ABRA’ below:
Trust us, if you enter “Father” into Google you won’t find your dad or this artist. It’s mostly just articles on parenting.
4. Perfect Pussy
Listen to ‘Interference Fits’ below:
These unabashedly ferocious noise-rockers knew what they were doing when they named themselves. You might want to go into incognito mode on your device when you type in their name on Google…
5. Kitten
Listen to ‘Doubt’ below:
Kitten is incredible. So are kittens actually, but that’s beside the point. Most people probably have never heard her incredible take on pop due to her name making her so hard to find. Not to mention her album’s name was self-titled. Good luck googling “Kitten Kitten”.
6. Heart
Listen to ‘Barracuda’ below:
Everyone knows Heart. That doesn’t make them any easier to google though. All I wanted to do was jam to ‘Barracuda’, not learn about the arteries.
7. !!!
Listen to ‘Must Be The Moon’ below:
Pronounced as “Chk Chk Chk”, there is no way to google this band without writing “Three Exclamation Points Band” into google. It’s really tiresome guys, trust us.
