Dwarves: The Dwarves Are Born Againnew
Chicago's seminal punk/thrash band Dwarves has foundered since the mid-'80s, partially due to aggressive genre-hopping and antagonizing, politically incorrect lyrics and cover art. Since the 1990 classic Blood Guts and Pussy, the band has produced a number of albums in which erratic style changes have caused dissention among its punk-rock fan base.
