Butt Trumpet came snarling out of Los Angeles in 1990 as a punk band that cared a lot more about offending you than impressing you, and on that score they rarely missed. The music was loud and mostly beside the point; the crude lyrics and gleefully tasteless attitude were the whole act. The lineup had an odd quirk for a punk outfit: two bassists, with Sharon Nijland and Bianca Halstead in the ranks alongside Thom Bone.
Their debut, Primitive Enema, came out in 1994 and did exactly what it was built to do, nearly getting itself pulled from the shelves in a Massachusetts town after a mother caught her 12-year-old daughter listening and branded it audio porn. The band didn't outlast the uproar by much, splitting not long after the record surfaced. Three of the members weren't done, though: they regrouped in 1998 as Betty Blowtorch. "I'm Ugly" is the one that has kept turning up on the countdowns.
