Nunfuckers
I can’t think of a band name that better exemplifies the Christmas spirit than the Nunfuckers. Fulfilling a request from the Sons of Ishmael post, the Nunfuckers are another Ontario, CA band playing a similar style of goofy, hyper hardcore. Take a look at the cover of their lone 7″, 1987’s Dead and On The Floor. That drawing sums up the band and it’s sound better than I ever could (translation - I don’t know shit about the band). Be forewarned the sound is pretty rough - take it for what it’s worth:

COPY AND PASTED FROM THIS WEBSITE:
From Rob:
The NUNFUCKERS formed in July of 1985 in Waterloo, Ontario. The first practice was in Bob’s garage - Bob on drums, Dave on guitar, Ian on vocals and Todd on guitar. Practice went for a couple of hours. When Todd got bored and left, Ian, Bob and Dave wrote and recorded the “Today is a Good Day” demo (on a tape recorder). At least one song on the demo had lyrics about actually fucking nuns.
Ian’s dad was transferred to Calgary the following month and Ian left the band. Derek joined as bassist in the fall of 1985, followed by Rob on vocals. The NUNFUCKERS played house parties around Waterloo before playing their first show at Chuggy’s in Hamilton (now Hogtown) opening for the RESISTANCE from Vancouver.
A few months later, the NUNFUCKERS recorded the “Into the Pit” demo at CKMS in Waterloo. Copies of the demo were made on low-end blank tapes stolen from CKMS while recording. One copy was given to members of BUNCHOFFUCKINGGOOFS while at the White House (punk home/hangout in Waterloo). Shortly after that, BFG invited the NUNFUCKERS to open for them at Lee’s Palace in Toronto. The place was packed and both bands were well received.
The NUNFUCKERS played a lot after that, in and out of Waterloo, with bands like DOG, MSI, SONS OF ISHMAEL, NO MIND and the DOUGHBOYS (including a show with NO MIND in a Chinese restaurant in Kitchener). In 1987, the band returned to CKMS to record the “Dead and on the Floor” EP - 11 songs recorded live-to-stereo in 2 hours for $30. 1,000 copies were pressed at World Records in Bowmanville, Ontario. The EP got a good review in MAXIMUMROCK’N'ROLL #49 and sold out in 5 months by mail order, mostly to Germany.
In the summer of 1987, Brian Taylor from YYY/The Record Pedlar asked the NUNFUCKERS to open for DRI at Ildikos in Toronto. At the show, Rob gave a copy of “Dead and on the Floor” to Kurt, and Kurt gave Rob a DRI pin.
Shortly after that, Dave left the band to herd sheep in New Zealand, and Jeremy joined as rhythm guitarist. Arguably the best NUNFUCKERS performance happened shortly after that in September of 1987, when the band and PROBLEM CHILDREN opened for SNFU at Ildikos in Toronto. They played the never-released song Rock God at that show, written in reference to the time Kurt from DRI gave Rob a pin in exchange for a copy of the “Dead and on the Floor” EP.
The NUNFUCKERS disbanded after playing terribly at the University of Guelph in early 1988 with NO MIND and a band called TWO-FISTED LAW from Waterloo.
Great post!!These guys were also on a 7″ comp called “progess??” with sons of ishmael,guilt parade,M.S.I. and death of gods. Worth tracking down for their cover of “Purple Haze”. The cover of dead and on the floor sums up the bands silliness and age.
Every time I listen to this record I can’t help but think that the vocalist sounds like a younger version of the singer on the first Dayglos album.
i seem to remember the nunfucker name replacing flourescent urine in the early 90’s crestline tree punx right? i went to to school with ryan calo , cheese, and clint kephart…this stuff obviously predates early ’90’s but the people involved had older brothers and sisters and shit…so i don’t exactly cool post
another note is …”i made the bitch cum; i made the bitch quiver
i blown up her ass like the mississippi river”…
the last decline video had nunfuckers in it GOD BLESS SQUID right? mofos
For a second there, I thought it meant Ontario California.
Yeah, I can see the confusion now. They were from Waterloo, Ontario.
name from the clash — “He who fucks nuns will later join the church”?
the great and loud punk from 80´s
Cheers - one of the band members (bass player? I forget) sent me this EP on cassette with some other stuff they recorded. You never fail to post the sort of stuff I’ve been trying to dig up for years…keep it up!
Haymaker covered a nunfuckers song. i reccomend checking out haymaker if you are into fast pissed hardcore.
HEY YALL ITS REALLY GOOD, BETTER THAN THE RAMONES!!
goodness, i love this!
sounds like if Jerry’s Kids were in a good mood.
I’m from Kitchener and saw these guys a few times back in the day. So cool. I was just thinking of them the other day and hit google and found this blog. Awesome to find the mp3’s. It’s like i’m 16 all over again
Gnarly band. Spoiled Brats and Up Your Ass… are sick songs.
