Punknown

Once upon a time, in the magical land of Physecks, there lived four young warriors, each of whom possessed unbounded talent and an innate ability to disrupt any attempt by the evil Physecks monster, known as Narayanblor, to conduct a formal teaching lesson. Individually, these warriors were extraordinary, however, once they pooled their enormous talents together, they became known as the Physecks heroes of rock and/or roll. They were idiotic. They were disruptive. They were controversial. They were Punknown.

The vision began with the trio of Marty (AKA Martino Heat), Jono (AKA Studman) and Mark (AKA Iceberg). Sitting together in the back of the Physecks classroom, they discovered that they each shared a common musical taste. The three would often cover classic songs, each bringing their own special twist to the song, be it through random actions (Studman), nonsensical outbursts (Iceberg) or deviating from the style of the original song (Martino Heat). Not long after, the idea of forming a band was tossed around, and met with equal parts excitement and idiocy (case in point: the group celebrated the formation of the band by slapping each other with flexible rulers. Ouch.).

However, the band was lacking a capable presence on the drums. Enter sandman, or more accurately, Goldy (AKA Wonderboy). With Wonderboy on the drums, Iceberg on the guitar, and Martino Heat and Studman, on the tambourine and bongos respectively, collectively handling the vocals, the musical identity of the group was forged. All that was left was a suitable handle, and the group would be on its way.

Several ideas were tossed around. The main theme of the band was Physecks, and as such, a Physics-based name was the only way to go. However, most of the names discussed sucked. Bad. One name that showed promise was Narayan's Destiny, in honour of the group's main adversary, Narayanblor. However, early one morning, Narayanblor was in the midst of another baffling lesson, attempting to explain the concept of momentum. All four members of the group realised something that was somewhat of an anomaly, written on the whiteboard. In explaining unknown momentum, Narayanblor had written 'P' and a subscript of 'unknown.' However, the writing had been weirdly arranged, and looked more like 'Punknown.'

From that day on, the group became known as Punknown, and Physecks would never be the same, or as nonsensically confusing, ever again, as the lunacy erupting in the back row would usually distract us from the work. The band became much more than a musical group. In fact, music was probably the activity the band engaged the least in. Despite Studman dropping Physecks earlier this year, he did not drop the band, and to this day continues to represent Punknown. The remaining three Physecks students continue the tradition of hilarity, physicality and stupidity to this very day. Anyways, later days!

EDIT: I had no intention of copying anyone else's story. Honest to God! I just couldn't think of any other way of starting the story. The rest just kinda fell into place.
