RuntCunt

RuntCunt is a musically driven engine firing on all pistons at once! This bulldozer-cum-wrecking machine won’t and can’t be stopped! The band is fronted by Noxious Turds (guitar). His belting vocals and piercing screams reach out and grab you by the ears and don’t let go until you die! Featuring the note laden bass guitar of Dick Spatter, this seminal (and seminal!) ‘80s Adelaide punk band created and would later destroy the style of music known as Cuntcore.
Founded in 1981 in Adelaide, Australia, RuntCunt (for a short time The Poison-Snake Affair) was initially a six-piece group largely playing ELO, ELP, and BTO covers. The three primary members, to which the band was soon reduced, were Noxious Turds (Doug Stevens), Dick Spatter (Dominic Phelps), and Billy Pigshit (Phil Wilson). They were soon joined by Ham Sandwich (Mike Roberts) and “Fat” Todd Riley (Todd Riley), formerly of Scrote-Loader.
Now a two-piece, the band was largely overlooked until the three-piece, now rejoined by Pigshit, began playing music. Sadly, Turds and Spatter were forced to fire Pigshit after he lost his face in an automobile accident. Re-energised, the band took the local music scene by storm - and it was typhoon season! Unhindered by Pigshit’s suicide, RuntCunt continued to burn up local music halls, and soon attracted the attention of critics, who made special note of Spatter’s piercing bass tones and Turds’ overbearing vocals.
After self-releasing three dozen pigeons and their first album, “Sexy Offenders”, the band was signed to local label Piss Records. The band soon began recording their next album “Dickrat’s Big Dick Hotrod”. Originally titled “Ratfuck’s Big Fuck Cock Car”, the band were forced to drop cartoon rodent Ratfuck as their mascot after the creators of Ratfink became concerned that public opinion of their character might be negatively affected by the band’s crudely stencilled imitation. Released in June 1984, the album hit the charts with the force of a well thrown ball!
The band’s star was on the rise and orbiting towards the sun! Propelled by the success of the album and first single “Car Sex”, with its subtext of autoerotica, the band moved to Melbourne. RuntCunt had hit the big time!
Sadly, the big time was not ready for RuntCunt, who were forced to break up and went bankrupt due to the unscrupulous management of Tony “SleazyWeasel” de Marchio. In order to repay their outstanding debts, their equipment was confiscated by the local sheriff, and the band members moved back to Adelaide. Dick Spatter took a job as a school swimming instructor, allowing him to pursue his twin interests in children and watersports, while Turds returned to his first love, being a gambling addict. The band lay dormant like a broken egg for the next fifteen years, as Turds struggled to pay off his debts by wrestling bears in underground pit fights. His debts continued to mount, like a rider mounting a horse; then that horse rode into the sunset. Turds was free! However, at the same time, Spatter was battling his own metaphor; a literal addiction to “Cheeto Dust”, a deadly combination of cocaine and crushed up Cheetos.
Then, 15 years later, something unexpected happened. The band was back! September 11 2001 would forever be remembered as the day RuntCunt performed their first concert in 15 years! Now, with their new album, “Two Bad Dudes“, RuntCunt are back at the top of their game, and that game is ROCKING ROLL!!!
