The Dayglo Abortions are Canada's premier punk/crossover ambassadors whose songs, while seemingly rude on the surface, pack a punch thematically. The band was formed in Victoria in the late seventies and released Out Of The Womb as a vinyl-only release limited to 1,000 pressed. Gretsky (!!) left the band in 1986. The band had a long association with Toronto Fringe and was the subject of a lawsuit for decency in Canada. The band has some of the best themes and cover art anywhere and has remained generally sharp throughout the years. 1998's Stupid World Stupid Songs is a sampler from the band's first 6 releases.
