Planning- Magazine and band names

Both my magazine and cover band will need an original name, which reflects youth and slight rebellion to attract the target audience. To create ideas of names I shall have to see what the names of current Indie Rock magazines and bands are.
Current Magazine Names

• NME- is an acronym for 'National Musical Express' which has become well known by the target audience throught the weekly release of magazines, radio and internet updates.
• Kerrang!- the name is onomatopoeic for the noise made by playing a power chord on and electric guitar.
• Q- Originally it was to be called Cue (as in the sense of cueing a record, ready to play), but the name was changed so that it wouldn't be mistaken for a snooker magazine.
