When a book becomes a band

Yesterday I heard about a band called Blood Meridian — I’m a little late, since their second record is coming out in the US in August. Thing is, I didn’t actually hear what they sounded like. So I tooled around the internet and found this recent live performance on Canada’s CBC3. And I wonder, is this what Cormac McCarthy would imagine Blood Meridian should sound like?

I know there is the band The Books … are there lots of bands named for books?
