    		I can't find a reference for an umbrella name under which these types of bands would fall.

    Another band named after the book or movie is Moloko.

    		Arctic:
    Of the ten I found five to be actual musical groups Johnny Zhivago, The Humpers, The Sharks, Comic Strips & The Blow Goes. There's no link because I looked each one seperately.
