Sexual Assault was a Canadian punk band from St. Catharines, Ontario. Their songs were about drinking, doing drugs, and social satire. They formed in early 2008. After a few months, they added another member, female vocalist, "H-Ivey".
History
Controversy
the band was developing notoriety due to a campaign, led by the Niagara Sexual Assault Center, and Feminine Action Collective trying to get the band to change its name.[1][2][3] Opposing groups say the band is violating human rights and turning Sexual Assault into a casual issue.[1] The band denies such claims, saying that their name and music are open to interpretation.[4]
Music
Most of their music revolved around binge drinking, consuming large amounts of marijuana, and touches lightly from time to time on societal issues. Some song titles include:
- "Das Boot"
- "Carrol Is a Feminist"
- "Beer Patriot"
- "Emo Sucks"
- "Taking Back the South"
- "I Want to Fuck"
- "Call of Duty 5"
