The 1981 Listening Post - Dayglo Abortions - Out of the Womb

 Dayglo Abortions - Out of the Womb


#6

January 1 1981

Dayglo Abortions

Out of the Womb

Genre: Punk

4 out of 5



In a few years most of this album will be rereleased as Feed Us a Fetus and we have already heard it. In the interest of completion I’m giving the first record a whirl but, to be honest, there’s no change here. It’s good solid punk. 

I still love the stoopidness of “(Acting Like) Black Sabbath” because not only can these guy shred, they incorporate doom metal into their snot. It takes the piss right out of all the metal that takes itself sooooooo seriously. 

The few tracks that didn’t make it to Fetus, “P.E.T.”, “East Indian” “Too Stoned to Care” don’t add anything nor do they detract. In some cases they sound like Ramones redux in others they sound like sketches. 


It should be noted that the album is only half of this upload. It is NOT 55 minutes long. It’s about 30.

The 1986 Listening Post - Dayglo Abortions - Feed Us a Fetus

Dayglo Abortions - Feed Us a Fetus



#112/1277 LISTENING POST DISCOVERY
March 1986
Dayglo Abortions
Feed Us a Fetus
Genre: Hardcore Punk
4.5 out of 5



Highlights:
Stupid Songs
Dogfarts
Proud to Be a Canadian
Stupid World
Religious Bumfucks


*Notice! Canadian Punk!*

Really good hardcore requires (for me) humor. At the very least, sarcasm. I mean, if you’re gonna play this kind of music at ridiculous speeds you should at least be able to laugh.
Right off the bat, with “Stupid Songs” I hear a bunch of lunkheads having a good time. Maintaining that punk aesthetic and, while hyper aggressive, also sardonic (For me, “Argh Fuck Kill - Die Sinner Die" is a great example of this).
Yes, they sound like Suicidal Tendencies, perhaps they realized that, welp, no one’s really doing that very well anymore, guess we should. And we are better for it. 
I love the name of the band, the name of the album, and a ton of these tracks. Wish I heard of them sooner. I work in Canada and I have never come across them once…and they still play. Gotta keep an eye out. 
I’ve never ever ever heard this band but I swear I ripped off the riff for “Rubberburner” from “Stupid World”.
