[kj] OT Brutal Band Names

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

Most names with the word 'Shit" in them I don't like --

Swallowing Shit is one band name example. Or Face Down in Shit.

All you have to do is look under the ages for "goregrind" or 
"pornogrind" band names and you'll see tons of this stuff. In the 80s it 
was shock worthy that a band might be named The Exploding Plastic Fuck 
Dolls. And The Damned would also say that radio stations would have a 
hard time playing their stuff because of their name. That seems tame 
compared to the early 90s when suddenly every mainstream radio schock 
jock was regularly saying the band name "Butthole Surfers," which 
through common usage now sounds like nothing.
