Naming a band is an act of concentrated creative expression. Square Pig in a Round Hole exists to reward five favorite band names each week. Winners are (usually) listed alphabetically. Selection is wholly unscientific and subject to whim, with a bias toward wordplay, humor, and local flavor. In most cases, I won’t know anything about the bands at the time of selection. Thanks to the Seattle Times club listings for abundant source material!

A climate change prediction. The sea will still be hungry when it’s finished with Florida.
A mantra, a mild cry of distress, or a cleverly veiled call for resistance?
This unfinished suggestion leaves all possibilities open.
