'band name' is going to look better than the design 99% of the time, and when the band says something along the lines of, 'can we buy this design with our name in that exact typeface. how much and whats your paypal?' the designer will have to be like, 'ohhh, well, thing is, my lettering isnt as good as that...' but ferreal, id probably wear a shirt with this across it.
