The English band Bombay Bicycle Club, which this year released their third record, A Different Kind of Fix, confesses about its name.
As they had stated earlier, its inspired by the chain of Indian restaurants in England, but now feels totally ridiculous. They believe that their choice has limited them to a specific audience of listeners, while there's many who will refuse to buy their new album as they are seen as a stereotypically youthful band.
Frontman Jack Steadman throws darts to one more youthful band, The Pigeon Detectives, suggesting that their hitherto discography was not serious:
After the change made from the indie rock debut with the indie folk acoustic album Flaws, The Bombay Bicycle Club wish to combine in their third album the two genres and adding a small dose of electronic experimentation. But they're worried that it would hardly change the first impression of the audience taken by their name. (Source: SBA)

But then if The Pigeon Detectives suddenly released this genius album I probably wouldn't listen to it, I would just go, 'The Pigeon Detectives? They suck!' People are like that, they're prejudiced.
