History Music / TheBabyStompers

The band’s next release was a GreatestHitsAlbum InNameOnly, ostensibly drawing from their material from the 60s, 70s and 80s, though in actuality was merely the ''Taking A Shit EP'' with seven new songs, including a rerecording of crowd favourite "Stomp": ''The Baby Stompers All Time Classics of the 60's, 70's and 80's''. This album sold well, though fans noted that on the same day as it was released a new mix of fan favourite [[OverlyLongTitle F16 or How I Learned about Male to Male Sexual Relations from that Weird 40 Year Old Guy at Summer Camp When I Was 8 Years Old in the Back of His Ute, I Was Dressed in a Small Petite Dress and Covered In Vaseline Before the Police Pulled up.

* UpToEleven: ''The New Album: The Mowcore Era'' is widely considered to be more focused and less focused than ''The Baby Stompers All Time Classics of the 60's, 70's and 80's'', featuring several songs with notably higher quality and more effort spent on them - whatever NostalgiaFilter may have to say about it - as well as many, many strange excursions elsewhere.
** In terms of length, this is in full effect between the first and second albums. ''The New Album: The Mowcore Era'' is nearly twice as long as ''The Baby Stompers All Time Classics of the 60's, 70's and 80's'', though nearly half of this is one song. Apart from "Sperming On A Ruptured Fish Anus" and "Wanking The Baby", ''The New Album: The Mowcore Era'' contains their three longest songs.

* IncestIsRelative: "Family Values" contains many different types of incest.

* UpToEleven: ''The New Album: The Mowcore Era'' is widely considered to be more focused and less focused than ''The Baby Stompers All Time Classics of the 60's, 70's and 80's'', featuring several songs with notably higher quality and more effort spent on them - whatever NostalgiaFilter may have to say about it - as well as many, many strange excursions elsewhere. See AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent for more details.

* AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent: In ''The Baby Stompers All Time Classics of the 60's, 70's and 80's'', track four is a mellow, funky instrumental[[note]]the first version of ''Mowing the Lawn''[[/note]] and track five is brutal DeathMetal instrumental ''Stomp''. Track six becomes milder with ''Taking A Shit''.
** This role is performed in ''The New Album: The Mowcore Era'' with "Acid and Party (feat. Dylan C)", then again with "[=DickAstley=]", "Fingering The Mother Bear", "Eclesiastic Sacerdotalistic Padre" and "So I Found This Vibrator There On eBay, Once". That album pretty much takes GenreRoulette UpToEleven.

From this approach they immediately entered the left field, producing classic after classic of unusual music featuring less traditional death metal elements such as [[NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly ambient wails, jazz ensembles and eclectic spoken word passages]]. The Baby Stompers never failed to surprise, elegantly crafting track after track of fascinating, captivating music. The use of expletives in their music, such as in crowd favourite "Fuck", of which nearly every lyric is ‘cunt’, and references to anal sex and bleeding induced therefrom are common elements in their music, as far as any element in such an eclectic and surprising band can said to be ‘common’!

* {{Mondegreen}}: The lazy pronunciation of 'anus' at one point in "Sperming On A Ruptured Fish Anus" has led to the lyric [[AscendedMeme semi-officially]] being replaced with "Agnes!"

* AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent: In ''The Baby Stompers All Time Classics of the 60's, 70's and 80's'', track four is a mellow, funky instrumental[[note]]the first version of ''Mowing the Lawn''[[/note]] and track five is brutal DeathMetal instrumental ''Stomp''. Track six goes back down half a dozen levels in the MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness with ''Taking A Shit''.

* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: Most songs settle at around two or three. One song, ''Ben, Fuck'', is notably a few levels higher; this is {{Lampshaded}} with "This song is so fucking brutal!"
** [[AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent Then there are the death metal songs]]. ''Acid and Party (feat. Dylan C)'' is about an eight, ''Stomp'' and the ''Wanking The Baby EP'' a nine or ten.
** ''So I Found This Vibrator There On eBay, Once'' is a weird example, featuring ambient background synth joined by a bad, incredibly repetitive blast-beat. So about a one and a six at the same time, then?

* SoundtrackDissonance: All the ''friggin''' time. The songs are largely mellow and all fairly low on the MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness (with the exception of the DeathMetal songs) and some pretty [[NightmareFuel horrifying]]/[[NauseaFuel disgusting]] things go on, all very matter-of-fact. The bluesy ones exemplify this the best, particularly the last parts of ''F16'', for example: you get a male voice complaining about [[{{Squick}} anal bleeding]] while a male in bad falsetto wails in a not-very-background way, all over [[SoundtrackDissonance soothing blues]].

* ThrowItIn: Nearly every single lyric is created this way, with the band improvising over the top of the music. Some examples, in the interest of brevity only from ''The Baby Stompers All Time Classics of the 60's, 70's and 80's'':
-->"Wafer On The Wall": We'll just record and... let it come to us.
-->"Cow Dick": That's a [[TitleDrop cow dick]].
-->"Fuck": Cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt...
-->"I Wanna Lay You Down By the Fire and Make Sweet Love to You While I Lovingly Caress Your Nipples": Nipples. [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Fuck off Ted, I hate you.]]
-->"Ben, Fuck": Fuck, Ben!
-->And perhaps the greatest example of all...
-->"F16": ({{Beat}}) Fuuuck!
** A straighter example would be the flubbed "I'll shove ya badger into the fucking... sh-" which trails off into laughter from ''That's Gravy, Dick''.
** Also, Ted slips out of falsetto in the line "Oh Mum, guzzle my breast milk". It was decided to keep the mistake rather than rerecord the line.

* FanNickname: "F16 or How I Learned about Male to Male Sexual Relations from that Weird 40 Year Old Guy at Summer Camp When I Was 8 Years Old in the Back of His Ute, I Was Dressed in a Small Petite Dress and Covered In Vaseline Before the Police Pulled up. This Led to Me Buying a [=MacBook=] Pro and Writing Depressing Indie Songs about my Sexual Sexperiences and that Seedy 40 Year Olds Should Not Be Trusted." is generally referred to as "F16", for [[OverlyLongTitle obvious reasons]].

* DoingItForTheArt: ''The Last Album: It's Finished'' clocks in at just under three minutes and contains one track, "We Can't Be Fucked (Fuck You)". Common theory and near-WordOfGod is that the brevity of this album is to demonstrate this sentiment.
--> Kevin: Sometimes, you just can’t be fucked, you know? You want to do something but you can’t be fucked. So you don’t. You just say ‘fuck you’ to the problem and just [[{{Metaphorgotten}} walk out of the recording studio and get trashed]]. And that’s what we’re trying to capture with this record.
--> Jacob: All our songs are statements, and all our albums are visions. The vision we have here is “We can’t be fucked”.
--> Dylan: And that’s why the track We Can’t Be Fucked (Fuck You) is called We Can’t Be Fucked (Fuck You).

* Jacob: The metalhead, second vocalist and the band's primary instrumentalist. (For the most part the band writes their music with [=GarageBand=]) Jacob brings stronger influences to the band's music.

* Dylan: The quieter one, with a razor wit. Less is known about him than about the others, but he was responsible for "Acid And Party (feat. Dylan C).

After their breakup, if anything The Baby Stompers became more prolific. Several projects are in the works, including ""Walrus": The Walrus Single" and "Death Metal Zebra", and a ten song single has been released for "I Wanna Sex Up A Crying Charmander In His Sexy Butthole While Jerking Off His Two-Inch Floppy", a song which heavily references ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' and is principally about molesting charmander.

[[folder:Official Story]]
Music/TheBabyStompers is one of the most important DeathMetal bands of the new millennium. Formed in the better secondary school in a backwater town in Australia in early 2010, the band released the rare demo, titled ''Stomping the Baby Demo'', which consisted of an early version of their crowd favourite, "Stomp". This song was their more traditional approach to the death metal genre, and is seen by many of its fans as a ‘proto-Baby Stompers’, particularly as it is co-credited to Jacob Van Andel (best known for the crowd favourite epic dark ambient song "Incredible") as a solo artist.

From this approach they immediately entered the left field, producing classic after classic of unusual music featuring less traditional death metal elements such as [[NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly ambient wails, jazz ensembles and eclectic spoken word passages]]. Music/TheBabyStompers never failed to surprise, elegantly crafting track after track of fascinating, captivating music. The use of expletives in their music, such as in crowd favourite "Fuck", of which nearly every lyric is ‘cunt’, and references to anal sex and bleeding induced therefrom are common elements in their music, as far as any element in such an eclectic and surprising band can said to be ‘common’!

From their opening EP, ''The Taking a Shit EP'', which many fans know comes from the demo title of fan favourite "The Joy of Masturbating", "The Pain of Taking a Big Shit", the band’s fanbase was cemented. Aggressive touring followed, with Music/TheBabyStompers often playing three hours of music at up to three clubs a night. As they were young, most of the concerts were improvised, and every single concert has been recorded by the fans, being traded eagerly. Before his death by misadventure (the accident has never fully been able to be explained, especially by the members of the band themselves) at the age of twenty-seven, former third drummer Johnny Fuck would enter the crowd after concerts to hunt down bootleggers and attack them. The band’s often violent relationship with its fans was perhaps best exemplified when, famously, the entire band once lynched a fan who called them ‘not metal’. In spite of this, band support remains strong. When the drumbeats of crowd favourite "Ted" is heard, the entire crowd screams ‘Stompaz’ and in return main founder Kevin Morris throws bottles of beer into the crowd good-naturedly.

The band’s next release was a GreatestHitsAlbum InNameOnly, ostensibly drawing from their material from the 60s, 70s and 80s, though in actuality was merely the ''Taking A Shit EP'' with seven new songs, including a rerecording of crowd favourite "Stomp": ''The Baby Stompers All Time Classics of the 60's, 70's and 80's''.

Wiki/TVTropes strongly urges fans to collect all releases by this band, as only by exploring their immense back catalogue can a true appreciation for Music/TheBabyStompers be found.

The most common voices heard on Music/TheBabyStompers’ music are those of Morris and of Jacob Van Andel. Van Andel’s history with this band is a complex one: he initially recorded a demo with the young band, only stepping into a main role after crowd favourite frontman Armstrong committed suicide when he was twenty-seven. Van Andel is often credited by the fans as introducing the intrinsic death metal elements which remain a core component of the band’s music to this day.

In early 2010, Music/TheBabyStompers was formed by Kevin, who recruited Jacob in order to write a song, "Stomp" for a demo entitled ''Stomping The Baby Demo''. The next year, the band, now featuring Jacob as an official member, recorded along with a string of guest musicians the ''Taking A Shit EP'', followed soon by ''The Baby Stompers All Time Classics of the 60's, 70's and 80's'', which was the ''Taking A Shit EP'' rounded out by seven more songs, including a rerecording of "Stomp".

Then, with new members Ted and Dylan, ''The New Album: The Mowcore Era'' was started, with Music/TheBabyStompers complete as they are today. About halfway into the recording of the album, the band became bored and instead worked on the presently (and likely forever) unfinished DeathMetal EP, the ''Wanking The Baby EP''. This included their most famous track, ''Sperming On A Ruptured Fish Anus''.

Music/TheBabyStompers released one last album before their breakup near the end of 2011, titled, fittingly, ''The Last Album: It's Finished''. This album contains one track, "We Can't Be Fucked (Fuck You)" and, despite the dubious title, is a real, heartfelt farewell from a glorious, mad band.

After their breakup, if anything Music/TheBabyStompers became more prolific. Several projects are in the works, including ""Walrus": The Walrus Single" and "Death Metal Zebra", and a ten song single has been released for "I Wanna Sex Up A Crying Charmander In His Sexy Butthole While Jerking Off His Two-Inch Floppy", a song which heavily references ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' and is principally about molesting charmander.

Music/TheBabyStompers are:

Kevin: Kevin, the founder of the band, manager and vocalist. Known for his [[ItsAllAboutMe ego]] and habit of firing members of the band on a whim. One of the most powerful influences on the band's style and lyrics.

Jacob: The metalhead, second vocalist and the band's primary instrumentalist. (For the most part the band writes their music with [=GarageBand=]) Jacob brings stronger influences to the band's music.

Ted: Ted, the "groupie" and "only guest vocalist to have survived the hells of the recording studio". Eventually became a member of the band, and began having a larger role in the second half of ''The New Album: The Mowcore Era''.

Dylan: The quieter one, with a razor wit. Less is known about him than about the others, but he was responsible for "Acid And Party (feat. Dylan C).

[[folder:Tropes found in Music/TheBabyStompers and their music]]

** Many songs, including the last song ever recorded by Music/TheBabyStompers, ''We Can't Be Fucked (Fuck You)'', contain the line "It's finished". [[TearJerker Beautifully]], the last album has this in its title: ''The Last Album: It's Finished''.

* IntercourseWithYou: This pops up a lot in Music/TheBabyStompers' work, largely anal sex. The song "Ted" is about the narrators receiving anal sex from the eponymous Ted (Ted! Stick your big dick up my arsehole! Ted! It's bleeding... ah... So painful...) - though [[FridgeLogic presumably not at the same time]]; F16 is about an eight year-old being anally [[PaedoHunt raped by a forty year-old man]] according to the title, with the lyrics referring more so to sex, often anal, in general; "Cheese Grater (Grate My Nipples)" deals with an intensely bizarre lesbian sexual encounter that gets steadily more ridiculous.

** [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Hilariously]], in the background at one point you can hear:

The ensuing years were remembered by few, least of all by the members of the band themselves. In a similar outlook to that on {{Woodstock}}, at which the band played twice, the view is held that ‘if you remember it, you weren’t really there’. Fans blame Jacob Van Andel’s famous three days of sobriety for what is commonly held to be an abominable decline in the quality of their music midway through the nineties. Firstly, the introduction of an acoustic guitar into fan favourite blues-thrash epic "Wanking a Bleeding Heart" was nearly universally panned, but the indescribable vitriol the fans felt for their former heroes was only exacerbated by their commercial success on the release of their first video clip, for fan favourite jazzcore epic "Sperming on a Ruptured Fish Anus", which controversially featured primarily Van Andel [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin ejaculating on a ruptured fish anus]].

** Many songs, including the last song ever recorded by Music/TheBabyStompers, ''We Can't Be Fucked (Fuck You)'', contain the line "It's finished". [[TearJerker Beautifully]], the last album has this in its title: ''The Last Album: It's Finished''.
* ADayInTheLimelight: "This is a song... by Ted. It's about... ''themes''... and - and fuckin' dragons, and trolls and shit."
** [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Hilariously]], in the background at one point you can hear:
---> I hate you, Ted. [[TakeThat Fuck off]].
* DoingItForTheArt: ''The Last Album: It's Finished'' clocks in at just under three minutes and contains one track, "We Can't Be Fucked (Fuck You)". Common theory and near-WordOfGod is that the brevity of this album is to demonstrate this sentiment.
--> Kevin: Sometimes, you just can’t be fucked, you know? You want to do something but you can’t be fucked. So you don’t. You just say ‘fuck you’ to the problem and just [[{{Metaphorgotten}} walk out of the recording studio and get trashed]]. And that’s what we’re trying to capture with this record.
--> Jacob: All our songs are statements, and all our albums are visions. The vision we have here is “We can’t be fucked”.
--> Dylan: And that’s why the track We Can’t Be Fucked (Fuck You) is called We Can’t Be Fucked (Fuck You).
* EitherOrTitle: "F16"... is one of these. See its entry under OverlyLongTitle.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Guess what happens in ''Sperming On A Ruptured Fish Anus''. Or ''Wanking The Baby''. Or ''Fingering The Mother Bear''.
* FanNickname: "F16 or How I Learned about Male to Male Sexual Relations from that Weird 40 Year Old Guy at Summer Camp When I Was 8 Years Old in the Back of His Ute, I Was Dressed in a Small Petite Dress and Covered In Vaseline Before the Police Pulled up. This Led to Me Buying a [=MacBook=] Pro and Writing Depressing Indie Songs about my Sexual Sexperiences and that Seedy 40 Year Olds Should Not Be Trusted." is generally referred to as "F16", for [[OverlyLongTitle obvious reasons]].
* GenreRoulette: Songs are more or less written as entirely separate from one another. Though the claimed genre of all but ''The New Album: The Mowcore Era'' is DeathMetal, in reality the band alternates between CountryMusic, RockAndRoll, {{Blues}}, {{Jazz}} and of course DeathMetal roughly on a song-by-song basis. The most cohesive effort was the ''Wanking The Baby EP'', being all DeathMetal and, by virtue of containing only one track, the ''Stomping The Baby Demo'' and ''The Last Album: It's Finished''.
* IncestIsRelative: "Family Values" contains many different types of incest.
* IntercourseWithYou: This pops up a lot in Music/TheBabyStompers' work, largely anal sex. The song "Ted" is about the narrators receiving anal sex from the eponymous Ted (Ted! Stick your big dick up my arsehole! Ted! It's bleeding... ah... So painful...) - though [[FridgeLogic presumably not at the same time]]; F16 is about an eight year-old being anally [[{{Shotacon}} raped by a forty year-old man]] according to the title, with the lyrics referring more so to sex, often anal, in general; "Cheese Grater (Grate My Nipples)" deals with an intensely bizarre lesbian sexual encounter that gets steadily more ridiculous.
* {{Irony}}: "Mowing the Lawn" is about using a lawnmower to accomplish everything but. ''Everything but''. The one time mowing the lawn is actually mentioned...
--> Didn't know the petrol ratio. Fuckin' couldn't mow me laaaaaawn...
** Also, the song "Family Values" is about incest.
* LyricalTic: There are many examples of random 'fuck!'s and 'cunt's tossed in
* MetalScream: Several in "Sperming On A Ruptured Fish Anus" and "Wanking The Baby", as well as throughout the rest of the band's catalogue, especially when it doesn't fit.
* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: Most songs settle at around two or three. One song, ''Ben, Fuck'', is notably a few levels higher; this is {{Lampshaded}} with "This song is so fucking brutal!"
** [[AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent Then there are the death metal songs]]. ''Acid and Party (feat. Dylan C)'' is about an eight, ''Stomp'' and the ''Wanking The Baby EP'' a nine or ten.
** ''So I Found This Vibrator There On eBay, Once'' is a weird example, featuring ambient background synth joined by a bad, incredibly repetitive blast-beat. So about a one and a six at the same time, then?
* {{Mondegreen}}: The lazy pronunciation of 'anus' at one point in "Sperming On A Ruptured Fish Anus" has led to the lyric [[AscendedMeme semi-officially]] being replaced with "Agnes!"
* IncrediblyLongNote: The eighteen second "cuuuuunt" in "So I Found This Vibrator There On eBay, Once".
* OverlyLongTitle: [[RuleOfThree F16 or How I Learned about Male to Male Sexual Relations from that Weird 40 Year Old Guy at Summer Camp When I Was 8 Years Old in the Back of His Ute, I Was Dressed in a Small Petite Dress and Covered In Vaseline Before the Police Pulled up. This Led to Me Buying a [=MacBook=] Pro and Writing Depressing Indie Songs about my Sexual Sexperiences and that Seedy 40 Year Olds Should Not Be Trusted."]]
* ScareChord: The intro to ''Fingering The Mother Bear'' is full of these, largely for RuleOfCool.
* {{Scatting}}: A lot of the songs feature this to a minor degree.
* SerialEscalation: The scale of the unusual activities in "Cheese Grater (Grate My Nipples)" just keeps getting more and more ridiculous. It starts with coprophagia and goes from there (the eponymous nipples, bitten off early in the song, end up blended - as in, with a blender).
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Eclesiastic Sacerdotalistic Padre.
* SoundtrackDissonance: All the ''friggin''' time. The songs are largely mellow and all fairly low on the MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness (with the exception of the DeathMetal songs) and some pretty [[NightmareFuel horrifying]]/[[NauseaFuel disgusting]] things go on, all very matter-of-fact. The bluesy ones exemplify this the best, particularly the last parts of ''F16'', for example: you get a male voice complaining about [[{{Squick}} anal bleeding]] while a male in bad falsetto wails in a not-very-background way, all over [[SoundtrackDissonance soothing blues]].
* {{Squick}}: We'd be here all day if we attempted to catalogue every example. The title of the "Wanking The Baby EP" should give you a hint.
** "Family Values" and "Cheese Grater (Grate My Nipples)" have every single lyric as this, [[InvokedTrope intentionally so]].
* StylisticSuck: The vocals are intentionally low quality, but this trope especially applies to the album artwork, all of which comprises images crudely edited together in Macromedia Fireworks.
* ThrowItIn: Nearly every single lyric is created this way, with the band improvising over the top of the music. Some examples, in the interest of brevity only from ''The Baby Stompers All Time Classics of the 60's, 70's and 80's'':
-->"Wafer On The Wall": We'll just record and... let it come to us.
-->"Cow Dick": That's a [[TitleDrop cow dick]].
-->"Fuck": Cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt...
-->"I Wanna Lay You Down By the Fire and Make Sweet Love to You While I Lovingly Caress Your Nipples": Nipples. [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Fuck off Ted, I hate you.]]
-->"Ben, Fuck": Fuck, Ben!
-->And perhaps the greatest example of all...
-->"F16": ({{Beat}}) Fuuuck!
** A straighter example would be the flubbed "I'll shove ya badger into the fucking... sh-" which trails off into laughter from ''That's Gravy, Dick''.
** Also, Ted slips out of falsetto in the line "Oh Mum, guzzle my breast milk". It was decided to keep the mistake rather than rerecord the line.
* UpToEleven: ''The New Album: The Mowcore Era'' is widely considered to be more focused and less focused than ''The Baby Stompers All Time Classics of the 60's, 70's and 80's'', featuring several songs with notably higher quality and more effort spent on them - whatever NostalgiaFilter may have to say about it - as well as many, many strange excursions elsewhere. See AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent for more details.
** In terms of length, this is in full effect between the first and second albums. ''The New Album: The Mowcore Era'' is nearly twice as long as ''The Baby Stompers All Time Classics of the 60's, 70's and 80's'', though nearly half of this is one song. Apart from "Sperming On A Ruptured Fish Anus" and "Wanking The Baby", ''The New Album: The Mowcore Era'' contains their three longest songs.
