Butt Trumpet is a Los Angeles-based punk band founded and maintained by Thom Bone. It is known for its crass lyrics and deliberately offensive style. The group features two bassists among its members.[1] They became famous in 1994 when their Chrysalis Records debut, Primitive Enema, was the subject of a debated sale ban in a Massachusetts town after one mother heard her 12-year-old daughter listening to it, which she called "audio porn."[2] Dan Druff played in the group briefly in 1995. The "Enema" lineup splintered soon after Primitive Enema was released, but three of the members regrouped in 1998 as Betty Blowtorch.[3] The founder of the project, Thom Bone, continues to release and tour with various deliberately unstable band lineups to this day.
