Swallowing Shit

Swallowing Shit

Swallowing Shit was a shortlived Canadian grindcore band, active in Winnipeg, Manitoba in the mid-1990s.

Swallowing Shit was formed in 1994 by vocalist Mike Alexander with Mike Koop of The Bonaduces, Steve Dueck of The Undecided and, for one show only, second bassist Dave Daley. Both Koop and Dueck soon left the band. What could be considered the "classic" lineup featured guitarist Todd Kowalski, bassist Brian Dobson and drummer Cory Koss.

The band's aggressive, politically radical brand of punk was a popular draw on the Winnipeg punk scene. In 1997, Christians picketed a concert to protest the band's song "Pro-Abortion, Anti-Christ". Winnipeg city council subsequently invoked a rarely used and forgotten city ordinance prohibiting challenges to the authority of the church within city limits to prevent the band from performing.

The band members subsequently moved on to other projects. Alexander would go on to play in Head Hits Concrete and currently Putrescence; Kowalski is a member of Propagandhi; Russell would also play in Malefaction, Kittens, Projektor, Hide Your Daughters and KEN mode; Koss was the drummer for Malefaction and currently in black metal band Of Human Bondage; Brian Dobson became an engineer and moved to Minneapolis.

An album, "Anthology", was released in 2000 on G7 Welcoming Committee Records to compile the band's recorded singles. Their song "If Assholes Could Fly, This Place Would Be an Airport" is featured on G7's 2005 compilation "Take Penacilin Now".
