The submissives
The Submissives were a notable B&D and S&M themed hardcore punk band from Portland, OR composed of three of the biggest names in the American hardcore scene. The bands members included Pig Champion (a.k.a. Tom Roberts) from Poison Idea, Dave Dictor from MDC, and Steve Andrews from [...] Violence. The songs were almost exclusively AbOUT men wanting to be dominated by women.
Dave Dictor said of the project in a 2007 interview: "It was a glorious and fabulous project out on Honest Don’s Records, worked on in 1996/1997 about [...] submission in the realm of female domination. I write on my myspace blog (myspace.com/mdc) about my relationship with Tom Roberts. He was a hell of a creative soul and also a hurting person. We did drugs with each other and lived with each other on the second floor of a punk club rehearsal space known as Suburbia. It was some of my most creative moments with a totally committed person I have ever worked with. Ron Posner and Al Shultz of MDC are other very creative people but Tom’s and my creative time was very compressed. He was a large soul-filled being. I miss Tom greatly."1
Discography
Their single full length album was entitled "An Anvil will wear out many a hammer" and featured cover art of a a man laying on the floor opening his mouth in anticipation beneath the rear of a squatting woman. The album came with a lyrics sheet which is decorated with art lifted from Sweet Gwendoline creator John Willie.
