"[Type of animal] + [Non-sequitur location]"
After learning that most indie rock bands, for example the Arctic Monkeys and Grizzly Bear, have a band name associated with animals, I have decided to apply this formula to the band I am making a music video of. They are known as Lymington, but due to 'trademark' issues (their brand image is already existent) I had to rename them to 'Robin Ridge' since it was the popular formula for naming a collective composing 2-6 band members.
The robin is a small orange-breasted bird that is native to the British Isles and Europe. It features prominently in British folklore (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_robin) and was voted in 2015 as Britain's national bird, taking 34% of the overall vote, in an avian-based poll created by David Lindo.
'Ridge' refers to a narrow hilltop or mountain range. If one climbs the hilltop of Mount Everest, they can view themselves gazing into the horizon, hoping for a brighter future.
Also connotes the band being edgy, indie and suiting the alternative rock genre because ridge also refers to the edge of an object.
