POLITICALLY
INCORRECT
These days, some people complain we’ve become too politically correct,
or that we’ve become afraid to say what we really mean. Murray Acton,
better known as The Cretin from classic Canadian hardcore punk act Dayglo
Abortions, isn’t concerned about that sort of thing.
Formed in 1979 and known for a kind of punked-up, metal-style hardcore
cacophony, the Dayglos are touring behind last year’s release Armageddon
Survival Guide.
At one time, the band faced obscenity charges over imagery and song
titles like “Sit On my Face and Bleed” and “Ben Gets Off.” And Armageddon,
with songs like “Your Facebook Can Kiss My Assbook,” shows DGA hasn’t lost
a step in this regard.
Acton says he considers it his duty as an artist to push these kinds of
boundaries.
“I believe one of the most important functions of art forms like punk rock
is to serve as an uncensored critic of society,” he tells me via email. “Punk
is particularly good at that task, because it’s generally not designed for
commercial radio play and therefore not intimidated by butt-sore corporate
advertisers or special interest groups trying to impose moral guidelines for
young people.”
But lately, Acton admits, he feels out-shocked by American politics.
“Armageddon seems to be happening on a monthly basis these days,”
he says. “It’s funny though, everyone’s complaining about Trump but in
actuality, for punk bands, the guy is a goldmine. Even the shitty bands are
getting good song ideas thanks to him.”
He continues: “As long as the world keeps supplying us with buffoons
for our leaders, there will be no shortage of inspiration for new punk songs.
Let’s just hope one of them doesn’t blow us all up.”
Dayglo Abortions perform along with Starving Wolves, Eugene’s Hippy
Fight and I Want the Knife, featuring Kyra Van Winkle, formerly of popular
Eugene punk band Bad Luck Blackouts, 10 pm Saturday, Oct. 7, at Luckey’s;
