Quick Question About Bands

[cinaed]

I'm trying to write a fic for sga_flashfic and it involves a band. However, when you're writing about a band, do you italicize or use quotation marks or just leave it normal? I just don't know if it'd be The Rejects From McMurdo, "The Rejects From McMurdo," or The Rejects From McMurdo, and it's nagging me so much I'm getting stuck writing the actual fic.

Anyone know the rule about bands?

Band names are normally plain text without quotation marks. Song titles are in quotation marks, and album titles are italicised.

Cool band name, by the way. :)

*grins* Thanks! *writes that down for future reference in other fics/storys/etc* Oh yeah, glad you like the band name. *grin* I was trying to be unique and not use Atlantis or Pegasus Galaxy.

I don't think there is any rule about them, you can put them in single quotes if someone is talking about them, but usually people just capitalize the name.

Thanks a lot. :)

Because you should always get your information from three different sources-- I looked up music reviews online and am seconding everything that blue_raven said.

Thanks! *grins and goes to work on the fic* Probably won't have it done before the sga_flashfic "music" challenge is over, but eh. ;)
