An old-school Punk Rock band formed Hamilton, Ontario in 1977 by Mickey De Sadist and continuing to perform to this day. They are noted for snappy tunes mixed with often cringe-worthy lyrics (whether racist, homophobic, sexist, insensitive, or just plain loaded with Squick). The band maintains that these are meant ironically; on the other hand, they are well-liked among certain controversial subcultures.
