Asexuals - Be What You Want


The Asexuals were a mid to late eighties band from Montreal Canada that put out one 7" and 5 LPs and were one of the best live bands of the era (I think they must have rehearsed their uniform jumps out in the garage). Only two of the LPs featured original singer John Kastner who left to form the Doughboys, and who now plays in All Systems Go in addition to releasing solo work. Be What You Want is full of fast, catchy punk. The lyrics to "Contra Rebels" are kind of unusual, at least in the punk scene - praising the US government's funding of anti-communist rebels in South America.
