Formed in 1979 in Victoria, British columbia, Dayglo Abortions released their first album in 1981. Their lyrics are informed by a total disregard for the status quo and society in general. Police launched a criminal investigation on the Dayglo Abortions after one of their baby sluts brought home a copy of their album "Here Today, Guano Tomorrow". This resulted in a lawsuit and the Dayglo's being featured in the following trial; the covers and lyrics were showcased by the prosecution. "Here Today, Guano Tomorrow" had the album cover in all its glory with the picture of a hamster eating from a box of chocolates on satin sheets with a glass of wine. A gun points at the hamster, and the back cover shows the resulting carnage. "Feed Us A Fetus" was also featured, which had a picture of a baked fetus on the table in front of Ronald and Nancy Reagan. All this resulted in the espionage and criminal prosecution of Fringe Product, their label at the time, for distribution and possession with intent to distribute obscene material—the first such prosecution since the offense entered the criminal code in 1959. Too bad for them the jury returned the verdict of not guilty.
The Dayglo's had their revenge with the lead song off the next album, "Two Dogs Fucking", which is about the sanctimonious nature of Ottawa's public officials that leads directly to the extinction of the human race. Since their onset, the Dayglo's have released quality Canadian punk. On occasion, their albums have included political aspects, as "Holy Shiite" has song titles such as "America Eats Her Young", "Christina Bin Laden", "Scientology", and "Where's Bin Laden?". Give me
