drafting and planning

This is a link to a valuable online resource that I was informed about called 'The Visual Thesaurus' where multiple words are gathered automatically that all string from one word (that you enter).
I have recently used this to gain ideas towards the name of my indie rock band. I enter words that would partly describe the image of a typical rock band, and therefore my own band, with words like 'rebel' or 'intimidate' and I look for similar words that are intriguing and are relevant to the genre.

Here are some words that I found by typing in 'rebel' and expanding on some words to fin others, these could all potentially be the name of my band:
  • Maverick
  • Renegade
  • Rise or Arise
  • The Freedom Fighters
  • The Desperados
  • The insurgents
  • subversive
  • The crusaders 
I like the sound of these names especially since they carry meaning, however quite a few indie rock bands have random, somewhat ambiguous , yet intriguing names. For example 'The Arctic Monkeys' so I may wish to consider coming up with some names that are random but have a ring to them.
This type of name would demonstrate that indie rock is a unique and quirky genre that doesn't comply with the typical conventions of most other music genres
