Biography

The punk rock band known as the Asexuals was formed in 1983 in Montreal, Canada. Guitarist Sean Friesen, bassist T. J. Collins, and drummer Paul Remington were all members of the group. A number of talented bassists served time with them off and on along the way, including Domenic Pompeio, John Kastner, Blake Cheetah, and Yuri Mohacsi. In 1984, the Asexuals released a debut single and a debut album, Be What You Want, to a growing fan base that was waiting for more. The recordings received good reviews, but didn't capture the band at its very best, which happened to be on-stage before an energized audience. Over the next few years the group toured Canada and Europe, opening for major crowd-draws like P.I.L. and DOA. The Asexuals also completed a number of other albums after that debut. The last, Fitsjoy, was released under the Cargo Records label in 1997. Some of the hardcore attitude and pop-mixed punk tunes by the band are "Time Will Tell," "Throw Me a Line," "World for the Taking," and "Language of Men."
