The Era of corporate advertising may have just entered a new level.  An unsigned band from Seattle will now be called The BuyStock.net Band after selling their naming rights for $250,000.  The three member band reported was having trouble coming up with a band name when the band's bassist Kevin Russell reportedly suggested that the band sell their name to a sponsor.

"Initially we didn't take the idea seriously but later realized it was brilliant," said lead singer Ben Adley.  "Sports stadiums do it, why not a band?"

The band says they will use the money to fund the recording and release of their first album.

"We're a new band that needs cash to record our first album. It's as simple as that," says Adley. "We've written a lot of songs and we want to record them in a quality studio and to do that takes cash."

The band has made their first single availble to download at, you guessed it - BuyStock.net.

What do you think, is it wrong for band's to sell their name?
