Why they might be annoying:

    They had to change their name from 'Imagica' to 'Birthday Massacre' because another musical group uses it.
    They also had to change a song title 'The Birthday Massacre' to 'Happy Birthday' to avoid confusion with the song.
    They got less mainstream attention and their music was played very little on the radio despite a decade-long popularity.
    They go by their nicknames as the band's name was Imagica .
    Dank's time as an original band member was short-lived before they moved to Toronto.
    Owen Mackinder's nickname was Waffles.
