Similar to behind the album, a piece looking into a band’s moniker should focus on the historical context of the band name’s creation, how the band members arrived at the name, and what impact it had on fans, music history, and the group in the short term as well as the longterm history? Is the moniker goofy, or serious, was it created in error (Lady Antebellum), did it have to be changed? How and why did it arise and what is its legacy?
