Is - one person/thing.
Are - plural.

I have to agree with Nev here. Are > Is for bands.

A group is one thing (hence the words "a" and "is" being in this sentence). I made the mistake of referring to a band in the plural form a nuber of times before that.

"This band are good" doesn't sound right, now does it?

All You Know is Burning (ep Version) is up on NG.

check it out, tell me what you think.

It is very low quality but it is all my band can afford when we recorded it, but High Quality recordings are underway.

As for the whole "is or are" debate. I asked a friend of mine who is has an English Major from Berkley University. If you are referring to a group it is not plural. If you were referring to multiple groups it would be plural.

So for example:

"Gorgoroth is a good band"

"Gorgoroth and Mayhem are good bands"

You're not acknowledging them directly though.

When I know a band has more than one member who has an input, I like to take into account all those people. Bands don't make music, the people in it do.

Doany of you guys like hate eternal? They are an awesome band :P. Or at least I think so. If you havent heard them here is a link of where you can "buy" the album I, monarch.

I, Monarch

I have been meaning to talk abouit this band for a while because they own so much :P.

Slipknot

Lol..please tell me how Slipknot are not metal..

Duality had some really gay songs..but denying them as metal is just absurd..

my god....you have failed harder and faster than anyone i have ever seen. i like Distubed and Mudvayne, even some Linkin Park (other Nu-metal bands) but they are no where near metal status. Slipknot = 9 person band that makes the same sound as 1 retard in a dumpster.
just by looking at the page numbers, i'm sure my fellow Hellions have already roasted you over a crucible of molten steel, so i will be brief....

Dream Theater is awesome.
The members of Dream Theater are awesome.

A group is a singular noun. That's how it is.

I am, but its still crap.

'Band Name' is good sounds crap. 'Are' sounds so much better.

While amazing and one of my favourite bands, MSI are not metal. In the slightest. I'm not actually sure how one could consider them metal, to be honest.

But they're great. Also, their genre is a combination of industrial punk, acid punk, electroclash, hip hop, techno and dance.

Seconded. Except change Melodic to Technical and remove Heavy.

On the subject of "is/are" (sam is right), when you talk about Burzum, do you say "him" or "they" or what. Because Burzum isn't his stage name, it's the name of the band. And his stage name is Count Grishnakh

example:

"Do you like Burzum?"
"Yeah, I love them!" or "Yeah, I love him!"

black, folk, viking mainly. and any combination of the three. i have a power album or two, and some avante garde.
