History S.O.S.

The greatest band name I have ever heard:
Shower of Smegma
They were 14 year olds from the LA / Hollywood area and played the club circuit in the early 80’s. They played with bands such as D.R.I., Dr. Know, Entropy, Excel, and Stukas Over Bedrock.
They played speed punk and crossed over that punk into faster versions of Sabbath songs. None of them were old enough to drive, so their parents would drive them to the gigs.
Shower of Smegma or S.O.S. as they called it – a name that conjures imagery of vast and powerful grossness. They were 14 though, and that is what makes it beautiful.
“So what’s the name of your son’s band?”
“Oh, he calls it Shower of Smegma, or something like that. You know these kids these days.”
Excel fucking rules! Dr. Know fuckin' roooolz! Whoooo hooo!
Just had to get that off my chest.
Holy shit. You are right, greatest band name ever.
HAAAAAAAAAAA
I'm blown away. I thought I knew band names. But this changes everything.
Yay! Sean Wheatley WROCKS duuude!!
