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"
