About
Punky Brüster – Cooked on Phonics (a pun of the literacy program Hooked on Phonics) is the debut studio album by Canadian musician Devin Townsend. It is a metal/punk rock parody concept album written by Townsend. Cooked on Phonics tells the story of a fictitious death metal band from south-central Poland called Cryptic Coroner that sells out their metal look and sound to become a commercial punk rock band called Punky Brüster (the band's name is a pun on the 80's U.S. television series Punky Brewster). It was released on Townsend's label, HevyDevy Record, on March 19, 1996. Personnel Each member of the project is credited under two aliase, the first as a Punky Brüster member, and the second as a Cryptic Coroner member.
