Blood Guts & Pussy is a 1990 album by the Dwarves. It was their first album for Sub Pop, and the album's sleeve was the subject of controversy, receiving protests from feminists. Dwarves frontman Blag The Ripper asserts that the Blood Guts & Pussy classic "Drug Store" is one of his favourite songs to play live, and that it is frequently requested during live sets.
Critical reception
AllMusic's Matt Carlson, who commented on the album's "explicit exploitation and genuinely disgusting humor", and described it as "thirteen songs full of general punk sloppiness and distortion performed in 14 minutes". It was voted "most offensive album ever made" in SPIN. Kerrang! reviewer described the album as "the birth, death and resurrection (of punk rock) in just about 13 minutes." which Sprague saw as designed for "calculated offence".
The album was described as "a bona-fide punk classic" by the OC Weekly. Douglas Wolk of Pitchfork said it was the band's "Platonic ideal of phallic stupidity".
