You, whistle for him
Okay, I normally avoid such things, but this was a little too fun to pass up. At the bottom of this post, you'll see some links. The first is for a random Wikipedia entry--the first article title on that page is the name of your band. The second link will take you to a page of random quotations--the last four words of the final quote on that page will give you your album title. The third link is to a page of random Flickr pictures--the third picture on that page provides your album art. Got it? Good. Here's what I ended up with:
My band name comes from India's only legal casino, and my album title is from a Thoreau quote about a dog or something. The picture, I think, is of a beach in France, but who knows. Even if you don't feel like hassling with the process of putting it all together with a photo editor (I used the wonderfully simple ImageWell), try the first two links and see what you get for a band name and album title.

Meet the latest greatest indie band, 1935 European Championship with its new album "Is a Second Self." Album cover is a picture of a house.
I like the album title and photo, but the band name is a bit...er, awkward.

And so it spreads... from the album cover and the name I am guessing that your band is some sort of Euro-synth-club-pop?

"Fly Around in Circles" by Ciprian Porumbescu. Album art is an overexposed closeup of what looks to be the lead singer of Evanescence.

These are awesome--keep 'em coming! Cully, I designed my cover thinking that my band was sort of an ambient/minimal-techno/synthpop duo. Lots of clicks and whistles. Definitely Scandinavian.

Ityopp'is takes hip hop to a whole new level by incorporating sounds from traditional Ethiopian and North African music. Their new album is "Love is or it ain't," and their album cover art features a chocolate lab running across sand.

"More Crochety Than You Are" by Magnus IV of Sweden.
(Okay, so I cheated a little bit on the album title; the quotation is from Aaron McGruder.)

I have the pleasure of presenting the fine new indie band "Transmission (Medicine)", whose first album "Them to Choose From" boasts a fine photo of a close-up of the chromework on an old rusted blue car.
Fun.

I would like to add that I am especially pleased with my band's able use of parentheses in our name.
