Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox musical artist The Dayglo Abortions (sometimes abbreviated to DGA) are a Canadian hardcore punk and metal band from Victoria, British Columbia. Their lyrics reflect a genre-typical disregard for societal norms. The band was formed in 1979 and released their first album in 1981. The band has sold 500,000+ copies worldwide since their first release. The band's biography, Argh Fuck Kill: The Story of the Dayglo Abortions, by the author Chris Walter, was published in 2010 by Gofuckyerself Press.[1] Gymbo Jak, the lead singer from 1994 to 2007, also sang for the Toronto-based Maximum RNR.[2]

History

Legal trouble

The band is known for its graphic album covers.[3] In 1988, a police officer in Nepean, Ontario, instigated a criminal investigation of the Dayglos after his daughter brought home a copy of Here Today, Guano Tomorrow. For the first time in Canadian History a musical group were to be charged with obscene material in the Supreme Court of Canada, The charge's were laid against the Dayglo Abortions and their record label, Fringe Product, (carried by Alternative Tentacles in the US and embroiling Dead Kennedys frontman Jello Biafra in the battle for freedom of speech) and the label's record store, Record Peddler. The DayGlo Abortions were cleared of all charges winning the landmark case after the Supreme Court trial in 1990.[4]

Politics

On their 2004 album, the Dayglos showed a new-found political awareness. Holy Shiite has song titles such as "America Eats Her Young," "Christina Bin Laden," "Scientology," and "Where's Bin Laden?".
