$20This spring tour for one of Canada’s most iconic punk bands, Dayglo Abortions, also marks the return of the Cretin to the line up!
Legendary punk trio, Dayglo Abortions, has been one of Victoria, BC Canadaâs most dangerous music exports since 1979.
The band (in one configuration or another) has always offered up no-holds barred punk rock over-the-top album cover artwork and images. Led by Murray Acton âThe Cretinâ (guitar and vocals), they left a mark on the punk underground in the ’80s.
They released classics like âOut of the Wombâ (1981), ‘Feed Us a Fetus’ (1986), and âHere Today, Guano Tomorrowâ (1987).
In 1988, criminal charges were brought against their label Fringe and distributor the Record Peddler for the 1986 albumâs overall offensiveness.
The ’90s releases continued with âTwo Dogs Fucking – Deux Chiens Fourrentâ (1991), âLittle Man in the Canoeâ (1995), âCorporate Whoresâ (1996), âStupid World, Stupid Songsâ (1998), and â’Death Race 2000â (1999).
Around this time The Cretin was joined by current bassist Willy Jak. 21st century releases include âHoly Shiiteâ (2004) and âLive 2011â (2011), new drummer, âBlind Marcâ (who is legally blind), and the latest release âArmageddon Survival Guideâ (2016).
