That’s what Winnipeg punk act I Spy went with for the cover of their discography spanning release “Perversity Is Spreading… It’s About Time!” Though the label admits that the cover art was designed “to send the theocratic-right into a tizzy of epic proportions”, the album managed to fly under the radar without any public backlash from the Catholic Church or its followers. Depict Pope John Paul II and his cardinals getting shit upon by three celestial rear ends and it’s safe to say you’ve got something pretty damn offensive. Allegedly, this album sparked protests by some feminists.Īny artwork depicting the Pope has the potential for some serious controversy. So are chicks completely covered in blood, so when you combine the three you’re looking at some pretty controversial artwork. Not sure if a dwarf is really offensive to anybody, but full-frontal nudity certainly is.
The title of the Dwarves album “Blood Guts and Pussy” is pretty spot-on as a description of its cover. That’s exactly what Black Flag did for the cover of their 1984 album. The term “slip it in” has a pretty heavy sexual connotation, so when you make it the title of an album that depicts a nun arm in arm with a shirtless man you know you’re pushing the controversial envelope. The band may or may not have grown up in the sense implied but either way, it’s still ironic that singer Jason Whalley and Frenzal Rhomb guitarist Lindsay McDougall became hosts of the youth network’s breakfast program ten years later. I’m assuming all the members of Australian punk act Frenzal Rhomb have penises of their own, but that didn’t stop them from using the aforementioned visualization as the cover art for their debut EP “Dick Sandwich.” According to legend, the artwork was so offensive to Australian youth radio station Triple J, they allegedly told the fellas in Frenzal Rhomb to “grow up” after seeing it. Today we thought it would be fun to shake up the conservatives by revisiting the 10 most offensive punk album covers of all time, so put away your decency, get ready to take a shower, and let’s get to it.Ĭheck out the most obnoxious, disgusting, rude, and down right appalling artwork to ever grace the cover of a punk rock album right here.Īs any owner of a penis might tell you, the idea of a sandwich made with three severed male genitalia is a bit disturbing. Nothing is more entertaining than a good controversy and if you’re a punk rock fan they come in no short supply.
