Band Name Origins:
- Sat in a bar one night, a friend of Dan Wilson's turned to him and asked...."Why do they only play all this semi-sonic sh*t on the radio? The name was chosen then, due to a volotile situation over their former name 'Pleasure', which was used by a death metal group! Submitted by: @shley
Why the Name is Stupid:
- It's good that half of you are sonic, why did you forget the other 50%? Go back to junior high school and learn maths percentages. What next, 3/4 sonic?? 0.0075% hydraulic? Can't see them releasing a platinum-selling album in the future. Submitted by: Dan Abnormal
