Albanese is a bit of a hipster music wise. Often struts a Radio Birdman T , mates with Billy Bragg, does the odd DJ set. The Opposition leader ran with an opinion piece from Sky News arguing how wearing the t- shirt was an insult to jews given that Joy Division was the sexual slavery unit in WW2 camps.
Hasn’t got much traction and she is looking a bit like a goose.
Got me thinking about offensive names.
Foetus On My Breath was always up there for me.
Sydney band the Slugfuckers wasn’t bad either.

The band I was thinking of was “You’ve Got Foetus On Your Breath” which was one variant used. Every iteration included the word “foetus”.

Foetus (AKA Jim Thirlwell, an Aussie himself since you mention it) had a whole raft of Nommes de guerre, including Scraping Foetus Off The Wheel, Foetus Under Glass and Foetus Uber Frisco… his later project Manorexia is arguably offensive on a whole other level…
Cancer was the band even John Peel wouldn’t refer to by name, but first prize must surely be Steve Albini’s band Rapeman, banned by Student Unions across the UK IIRC, and Albini himself took an indecently long time to acknowledge that he was just being an ignorant, insensitive edgelord, rather than an envelope-pushing iconoclast…
There are some, er, ‘classics’ here. Not suitable for work, or indeed anywhere.

Gosh they are awful. Punk, thrash, noise or electronic seem to be the genres.
The cumulative effect of these had me howling over my morning coffee!
I thought Penis Flytrap was quite witty possibly also referencing the ‘joy’ of trapping one’s prepuce in the trouser zip.
I did see a band once called Scuzzfuck can’t remember anything about them except the name.
Not band names for Googling. See also Bare Naked Ladies.
