Agree rebanding can be a great experience but I don't really like the above.
Phoenix is okay and has some potential, not a lot of baggage with it but
Glasnost brings to mind a lot of baggage to me, I might be one of the older

I'd be inclined to veer towards natural wording such as Tides, being tides
of change or Eruption, depicting the growth and spread of the movements.
