UMUR
"Feed Us a Fetus" is the 2nd full-length studio album by Canadian hardcore punk act Dayglo Abortions. The album was released through Fringe Product in 1986. "Feed Us a Fetus" earned Dayglo Abortions quite a bit of underground success, and is still their best selling release. It´s actually a bit of an odd release, as it´s only the material on Side 1 of the original vinyl, that are new (recorded in 1985). The tracks on Side 2 are culled directly off the band´s debut full-length studio album "Out of the Womb (1981)". Side 2 features the trio lineup of Stupid (bass), Jesus Bonehead (drums), and Cretin (guitars, vocals), while Side 1 features a four-piece lineup consisting of Spud (bass, backing vocals), Jesus Bonehead (drums), The Cretin (vocals, guitar), and Wayne Gretzky (guitar).

While the material on the 2 sides of the album were recorded several years apart, it´s not necessarily something you will notice. The sound production is not exactly consistent within each recording session, and stylistically the band haven´t moved too far away from their starting point on the later recordings. But there are some differences, and I´d say that the new material is generally a bit better composed, feature an occasional crossover thrash metal influence, and feature more guitar solos. The basic music style is however still hardcore punk, featuring provocative/obscene/controversial lyrics, delivered with a "Fuck You" attitude.

The musicianship is generally on a decent level, and everything is delivered with conviction and passion. The energetic rhythms, the blistering solos, the aggressive riffs, and The Cretin´s snarling raw vocals. There are several highlights on the album, and I´d mention "Stupid Songs", "Argh Fuck Kill - Die Sinner Die", "Bedtime Story" (which is an absolute beauty), "Wake Up America", "Proud to Be a Canadian", "Scared of People - Black Sabbath", and "I Killed Mommy", as just a few of them. The combination of heavy riffs, fast paced aggressive hardcore, and more melodic tinged punk, is generally a winner, and if you can stomach the lyrical content and take it for what it is, this is one hell of a hardcore release. A 4 star (80%) rating is deserved.
