OK — so we’ve taken a little liberty here.

Some of these bands may not have necessarily named themselves after a car. They may simply share a name, but we still appreciate the connection. We also love the fact that they seem to mirror the speed and aggressiveness of their namesakes.

Pantera? Fast and aggressive.

Chevelle? Loud and fairly heavy.

Reliant K? Meh.
