Classic mid-90's Austin band.  I knew a guy named Harry that played bass for them but I don't know if that is on this album.  Bass here is credited to Chance The Lost One.  See what I mean?  I just don't know.

Anyway this album is uniformly excellent sort of like the God Bullies of the South.  This version sold is the now changed cover by Frank Kozik, who passed last year.   Mildly pornographic but I think the cover, like most Frank Kozik covers, had artwork rights revert to him after a certain number of years.  If you are looking for a kinder gentler lyric after being offended by the cover and band name, you perhaps will feel assaulted.  

Assulted with comedy that is.  Horns bleat like a limp Cows with deep vocals out of the Ian Curtis school of life affirmation.  Pussy photos and pedophilia are topic for songs.  The universal homosexuality of "*80 Gay Sailors" turn a sea shanty into a mass coupling anthem.  Punk topics of yore get rejiggered with tracks like "Work" and "2 Punk 2 Fuck."  MDC and the DK's should smile.

A severely underrated classic album.
