Dubbed by many as the vilest band on the planet. A.C. (ANAL CUNT) was created by former EXECUTIONER man Seth Putnam in 1988 initially intended as a joke act designed to offend as many people as they could while playing their instruments as badly as possible for an intended life span of a month at the most. Such was the cult the act engendered A.C. are still at it over a decade later delivering a seemingly endless stream of strictly non P.C abuse. Perversely the band, which has never employed a bass guitarist, has become a major attraction in Japan.

A.C.'s debut line-up comprised Putnam, BRATFACE guitarist Mike Mahan and drummer Tim Morse and as such delivered a hint of what was to come with the '47 Song Demo' tape. The '5643 Song EP' on Stridecore Records was limited to a mere 307 copies of various vinyl colours. Acknowledging the band's already established underground status a bootleg 7" split single with PATARENI was leaked onto the market. A.C. members would also surface on other groups recordings with the singer appearing on the SHIT SCUM 'Manson Is Jesus' 7" single as well as sessioning with POST MORTEM.

With this line-up the band toured Europe but split upon their return. A.C.'s debut full length CD 'Fast Boston H.C' was issued by Ecocentric Records in a plain card cover but confusingly would be reissued the same year retitled 'Greatest Hits Vol. 1' with the same catalogue number.

By 1991 Fred Ordonez was on guitar for an infamous split EP with THE MEATSHITS and a further shared effort with PSYCHO. Putnam would also add guest vocals to the track 'Group Pressure' on PSYCHO's 'Riches And Fame' 10" EP. By the following year John Kozik of TOETAG had taken the position for the 'Morbid Florist' EP.

Between 1993 and '94 A.C. operated with two guitarists, with Kozik alongside a returning Ordonez. In this incarnation the band cut an irreverant live cover version of JUDAS PRIEST's 'Breaking The Law' for a 7" single and the album 'Everyone Should Be Killed', released in Europe with new sleeve artwork by British Extreme Metal afficianados Earache Records. However Ordonez made a rapid exit midway through these recordings.

A.C. garnered further media exposure in 1995 by offering an Oi! Version of the BEE GEES Disco hit 'Stayin' Alive'. This outing saw Kozik's guitar partner as Paul Kraynak.

Mainstream act PANTERA were by now open fans of A.C.'s and it came as no surprise that Putnam was credited with backing vocals on their 'Great Southern Trendkill' opus. A.C. undertook their only proper national tour to date in 1996 with Deathsters INCANTATION. Putnam honoured the event with a track 'Kyle From Incantation Has A Moustache' to which Kyle Severn himself graciously contributed drums. The band by now was down to a trio of Putnam, Morse and guitarist Scott Hull. The latter also operating AGORAPHOBIC NOSEBLEED, PIG DESTROYER and JAPANESE COMEDY TORTURE HOUR.

The 1998 acoustic 'Picnic Of Love' album was reportedly recorded for a miserly $100.

In true spoofing style Putnam and Martin released two supposedly 'Black Metal' demos credited to IMPALED NORTHERN MOON FOREST. These recordings would later see an official release as a 7" single on M.T.S. Records.

The band comprised Putnam, guitarist Josh Martin and drummer Nate Lineham for 1999's 'It Just Gets Worse'. PANTERA's Phil Anselmo and Choke of SLAPSHOT also guested on the record. In typical fashion the album ran into trouble before its release with a planned song 'Conor Clapton Committed Suicide Because His Father Sucks' provoking the expected outrage. The song had its title changed for the record. German distributors also rejected the album due to the song 'Hitler Was A Sensitive Man'. Overall A.C. confronted the expected maturity process by delivering a set of songs more extreme than anything they had previously delivered.

By 1999 John Gillis had taken the drum stool as A.C. issued a shared split live album with INSULT. Former drummer Tim Morse lated created THE PRETTY FLOWERS and MORSE CODE.

The band announced a cessation of activities in December of 2001. A fifteenth anniversary spate of shows broke out in March 2003 although Putnam and Linehan also busied themselves with a secondary act ADOLF SATAN. ANAL CUNT, crediting Seth Putnam, guitarist Josh Martin and drummer Nate Linehan, officially reformed for a November 10th gig at Bill's Bar in Boston, Massachusetts. The band revealed 2004 was to commence in a suitably heavy fashion, participating in the January 'Extreme The Dojo VII' tour of Japan alongside NASUM, NAPALM DEATH and PIG DESTROYER.
