Why they might be annoying:

    The name Bon Iver is taken from Bon Hiver which is French for 'good winter.'
    Justin said he does not want to be the guy playing 'an acoustic guitar singing songs, because that's boring.'
    Justin wrote a song where he felt he needed a large choir behind him, so they handed out lyric sheets to the audience to sing along.
    Their name is a bit too close to Bon Jovi
