Sikphuxz Punk is Shit EP
Formed in Victoria, BC in 1979, SIKPHUXZ was the first effort from Murray “The Cretin” Acton, who would later go on to assemble the legendary DAYGLO ABORTIONS. Though there were no official releases from these early Canadian punks, they did record a handful of tracks that have been unearthed and remastered on this archival EP that comes with extensive liner notes and photos. The roots of Murray’s trademark irreverence are on display here in songs like the title track and “I’m So Dumb,” alongside more straightforward punk tunes like “Let’s Run Away” and “P.O.W.,” offering an interesting glimpse of history. It’s a cool little package, and the DAYGLO guys are still going strong today, with members having been arrested on drug charges as recently as fall of last year.
