Why they might be annoying:

    GWAR stands for 'God What an Awful Racket.'
    They have been called 'gory, sexually perverse and scatological in the extreme.'
    They claim to be descendants from aliens stranded in Antarctica.
    At concerts, they perform mock pagan rituals and have 'corpses spewing washable bodily fluids on the audience.'
    Urungus was charged in Charlotte, North Carolina for obscenity and banned from performing there for a year.
    They used the ACLU to help fight back but failed to get the decision overturned and remained banned.
    There is absolutely no reason to buy their albums.
