Oh yeah, I forgot about California. Those self-involved clowns probably have 1000 band named after places there.

Some of these make me feel stupid for forgetting about them (like, Europe, Asia and United States of America).

But some others I never heard of.

Still, I figured there had to be a bunch I never heard of, so I'm not surprised about them.

I didn't know United States of America was a band. I thought they were referencing Presidents of the United States of America.

I was thinking the same thing. Either way, I'll accept it.

United States of America was a 1-album band who came out with a well-regarded psychedelic/experimental album in 1968 but then split up.

The United States of America was a one off band created by Joe Byrd (Of Joe Byrd and the Field Hippies for you rock historians) and Dorothy Moskowitz. Brilliant electronic album.

Sodom (German thrash metal band)

There's actually an area in Putnam County, New York, with that name.
