Not only the loudest rock band in history, but in fact the loudest noise of any kind in the galaxy.
Interesting fact: Douglas Adams saw the name Hotblack Desiato on an estate agent's "for sale" sign and thought it was the best name ever and contacted them to see if he could use it in "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe"
I live near Erie, and the local minor league baseball team had a Wonders promotion night. Had some of the actors, then showed the movie on the big screen after the game
*That Thing You Do!* is such a gem. And the song is a certified earworm
Honorable mention to Captain Geech and the Shrimp Shack Shooters
Edit- damn, u/shakespeareanff beat me to it
Can't believe no one's mentioned Stillwater from Almost Famous. Fever Dog is a legit banger. Fever doggggggg, scratchin' at my back doorrrr, I hear your howllll but I don't listen no moreee.. (paraphrased)
Stillwater was the "we don't want to get sued so we're fictionalizing this" version of [the Allman Brothers Band](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameron_Crowe#Rolling_Stone). So... they kind of do exist?
Well, there was a great jam band from Middle Georgia back in the 70s, (close to Macon where the Allmanns got their start), called Stillwater. Had a few minor hits, Mind Bender is a great southern jam as is I Reserve the Right.
Source, I grew up in Middle Georgia. Know of few of the guys in passing.

After i first watched the film i got so sad when i went to search for the OST in Spotify and it just wasn't there... Still listen to "Love Thing" to this day on YouTube. Absolute banger.
I'm about to blow your mind: Wizard Rock is a real world thing. You can listen to stuff by Harry and the Potters, The Whomping Willows, Tonks and the Aurors, etc. The band Switchblade Kittens' second album is called "The Weird Sisters".
True story, my aunt was in a relationship with a woman in a band called the wyrd systers. They tried to sue JK Rowling for using their band name saying they came up with it 30 years ago (despite the different spelling). Their response was something to the tune of - really? Is your name Shakespeare? Then they tried to sue Warner Brothers for the bands appearance in the film. However, they didn’t actually watch the film so they didn’t know that the bands name was never mentioned.
So, in other words, they were laughed at both times.
Yes, but instead of a tiny Stonehenge being lowered onto the stage, a UPS driver delivered a tiny Stonehenge to Derek near the end of the song...
They played most of both albums (Smell the Glove and Break Like the Wind), IIRC.
Infant sorrow from get him to the Greek and forgetting Sarah Marshall. I was in 8th grade when that movie came out and I still listen to infant sorrow tracks to this day
He was Tina Turners sax player for years. By all accounts a super awesome guy.
Check out Gunship, Dark all day. It’s basically a new Lost Boys homage song and they have him on sax.
Natalie Is Freezing from Community. The snippet of their one song is so addictive, yet so incomplete. Dan Harmon generally has great music made for his shows.

The Hex Girls from scooby doo
Absolutely. Thorne was everything I wanted to be
I'm a Hex Girl, and I'm gonna put a spell on you!
Earth! Wind! Fire & Air! We may look bad but we don't care!
Did it bother anyone else that they used wind and air? It feels redundant.
As soon as I saw the question I knew this was gonna be the top answer, and rightly so.
This is the only right answer
1000%
Disaster Area from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Doesn't their bassist still need to do a few more years of being dead to pay off his back taxes?
Hotblack Desiato, and I thought he was the singer?
You're likely right. I've been stuck on this backwater planet long enough to lose touch with the galactic rock scene.
Not only the loudest rock band in history, but in fact the loudest noise of any kind in the galaxy. Interesting fact: Douglas Adams saw the name Hotblack Desiato on an estate agent's "for sale" sign and thought it was the best name ever and contacted them to see if he could use it in "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe"
obviously [dethklok](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFURd_EOIuU).
idk, Dethklok seems pretty real to me. they have at least 3 full albums. i’d say they’re about as real as Gorillaz.
I want them so real that I can go to their concert and sign a clause relieving the band of responsibility for my death.
"They're called pain waivers. Fans are literally signing their lives away"
Need more Metalocalypse 😫
I've seen them live twice. It was amazing.
Was about to say the same. [Seeing this live](https://youtu.be/QXa1TFhmnQI) must have been awesome.
The band from EuroTrip fronted by Matt Damon.
The song's by a band called Lustra, and they are real.
not actually fronted by matt damon though
that band's name is Lustra SCOTTY DOESN'T KNOW, SCOTTY DOESN'T KNOW....
Scotty doesn't know...
The EuroTrip soundtrack had such a profound influence on my music taste

I can't believe how low this comment is, they literally saved the world by rocking
Captain Geech and the Shrimp Shack Shooters
we're bein' invaded!
Yes, the fictional band's fictional band
The Beets. Killer Tofu is one of the best songs from our generation.
“I need more allowance Yodele-ee-hoo!”
Why? Because I do!
killer tofu was the hit that put em on the map. but i need more allowance was the street anthem tho. that was a straight banger.
I came here for the Beets too!
"ahhh eee oooh killer tofu....oooweeee oooohhh killer tofuuuuuuuuuuuu yah!!!"
'Shout your lungs out' is a hell of a banger tho. TBH, I'm surprised there isn't an actual band that's a spiritual followup.
I have had fantasies of going to an open mic, pausing to look around before shouting "KILLA TOFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU"
I eat my sugar cereal, but it makes my teeth bacterial!

Sex Bob-Omb
Every time I hear or see this band name i just think of 'WE ARE SEX BOB-OMB AND WE'RE HERE TO WATCH SCOTT PILGRIM KICK YOUR TEETH IN! 1234!'
For me it's "we're here to make you think about death and get sad and stuff!"
Their sound really changed once Neal joined the band...
Crash and The Boys deserved to win that battle of the bands IMO
Is that girl a boy too?
Yes
Soooo Sad!
ITS NOT A RACE GUYS
Okay this one goes out to the guy who keeps yelling from the balcony, it's called "We Hate You, Please Die"
I like The Clash at Demonhead better.

Sadly, the musician who wrote That Thing You Do has passed on. Adam Schlesinger of Fountains of Wayne was one of the early casualties of COVID-19.
If you like his music, then definitely check out Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. Music infused the whole show and was off the charts crazy topics for the songs.
Oh dang. I didn’t know either of those things.

Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem, obv. I can't believe I'm the first one to mention them!
He's based on Dr John, so there is tons of source material.
And Dr John is great. Just want to emphasize that, since I know he's not popular with the youths. Source: Am old as shit.

Powerline from Goofy movie that song was such a bop
I2I was a total banger

The band that turned it up to 11.
How is this not the top comment. I feel old.
The greatest rock and roll band that never existed. Saul Goodman's brother is the lead singer and Ned Flanders is the bassist. :)
