Does this sentence make sense?

So far (name of band) is just unparalleled
  

Top answer

" The sentence should be as following: So far, (name of band) is just unparalleled. "So far" is placed to the front of your sentence to emphasize but its proper location is at the end since it is part of predicate of the sentece. When a ward or phrase is taken out of its proper place in a sentence, as it is in this case, it is followed by a comma.

Yes, it makes sense.

In British English we would usually say "(name of band) are", but I think that "is" is OK in American English. Hopefully an American English speaker here will put me straight me if I'm wrong.

You need a period (.) at the end of your sentence.

It depends on the brand:

M&Ms are unparalleled.
Heintz catsup is unparalleled.

I think in practice we tend to make it agree with the band name.

The Angry Hornets are...
The Hornet Nest is...

The same with team names:
The Detroit Pistsons are...
The Miami Heat is...

Although either plural or singular could be used depending on whether you are thinking about them as a collective team (one unit, singular) or the members of the band/team

Oops. 'Band', not 'brand'. I've been having a really bad couple of days at the forums....

Did you ever read Dave Barry's column? He used to periodically refer to something like "devastating mudslides" and say "Hmm. Sounds like a good name for a band."

He was so funny.
