Band-tonyms
Originally a response to a prompt in r/bandnames, I thought this group may like it as a standalone puzzle.
Below are antonyms to various bands and musicians. For example: "Herb Boys" is the bandtonym for "Spice Girls" or "Noon Vinegar" is the bandtonym for "Midnight Oil"
If not appropriate for this sub, let me know where to post. Also, while I had one answer in mind for each clue, there are a lot of bands, so other popular bands may work. Enjoy! If liked, I can provide a new list for next week, or do tunetonyms, though that word doesn't flow.
