After your post I took the time to check out their Wikipedia page and it mentions all of this.AppState2018 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 31, 2019 6:10 pmA couple were of members were in the Hayes School of Music, and another was in the Computer Science program.

They exist at quite a few universities (Columbia College Chicago, Drexel, MYU, Syracuse and CSU-Northridge have one), but I'd say it's pretty unique. I hope they are able to give back as well and boost the community they came from.McLeansvilleAppFan wrote: ↑Wed Jul 31, 2019 6:28 pmAfter your post I took the time to check out their Wikipedia page and it mentions all of this.AppState2018 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 31, 2019 6:10 pmA couple were of members were in the Hayes School of Music, and another was in the Computer Science program.

Hopefully they remember their roots and have and will continue to give back to Hayes and the general Appalachian Fund. I don't know how unique something like Split Nail Records is, but that seems like a nice addition to our university.
That name though ♂️CharlotteApp05 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 11, 2022 12:32 pmWith football season coming up, Wanted to bring RKS back up. I love it when we promote our own during football games and All that and More is a killer song that the students would jam out to. Also saw this article and thought I would share:

I don't think it is a bad name. After 60+ years of rock bands the list of names is running thin.Seattleapp wrote: ↑Thu Aug 11, 2022 12:59 pmThat name though ♂️CharlotteApp05 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 11, 2022 12:32 pmWith football season coming up, Wanted to bring RKS back up.

You are right about names running out. My stance is always, if you give your band a joke name people will think you are a joke band. May not be fair assumption but I see rainbow kitten surprise and i immediately discount them as a serious band.McLeansvilleAppFan wrote: ↑Fri Aug 12, 2022 1:13 pmI don't think it is a bad name.

The name makes me think of an indie band and that is all and not a silly band. Though for some I could see how they may think silly. Others might think it is very artsy. They don't seem to dress silly (Village People or Gwar come to mind, though some will be offended I think both of those bands do or did dress silly.) I don't really follow them (RKS) but they have an App connection so I wish them well. I likely would enjoy their music more than Combs or Church, but I really don't care for the sort of country Combs and Church made. I like a good singer-songwriter such as the late Nanci Griffith. I like folk-country, not rock-country I guess is the best way to put it. But I digress.Seattleapp wrote: ↑Fri Aug 12, 2022 1:28 pmYou are right about names running out.

a lot of band names are silly until they have continuous commercial/ and or appeal. Led Zeppelin? Smashing Pumpkins? The Beatles? Def Leppard?McLeansvilleAppFan wrote: ↑Fri Aug 12, 2022 1:41 pmThe name makes me think of an indie band and that is all and not a silly band. Though for some I could see how they may think silly.

they were good for their genre. Dead Kennedys even more so.
