Real or Made Up ? #1

Can you guess if these are real or made-up band names ? All the real ones are Punk Rock bands originally formed in the 1970s.
Made up names are made up by me, as far as I know there are no bands with these names.

Nice quiz. Is this series made up of bands/genres you actually enjoy or just ones that happened to have a lot of weird names?

A bit late with this reply. I don't know why I didn't reply before, I normally do. I apologize.

In answer to your question. I enjoy most types of music from punk rock and heavy metal to classical music and even opera. It all depends on my mood. Being a truck driver I get a lot of time to listen to music whilst on the road.
