The Toilet Bowl Cleaners' 2008 album "Songs About Poop, Puke & Pee" is a 10-track collection of juvenile, yet surprisingly catchy, songs about the aforementioned bodily functions. It's a raw, lo-fi affair that perfectly captures the band's ethos.
- The album was recorded in a single day at Tiny Telephone Studios in San Francisco with producer John Vanderslice. It features guest vocals from Allegra Rosenberg of The Dodos on the track "Pee Pee". The album charted at #42 on the Billboard Independent Albums chart.
- The album was initially self-released on CD and digital download before being picked up by Motern Media for a wider release. Sales were bolstered by a viral music video for the song "Poop Song" which gained significant traction on YouTube.
- The album's minimalist production and unpolished sound were deliberate choices, aiming to evoke the raw energy of early punk and garage rock. Critics at the time praised its commitment to its puerile subject matter, with some calling it "a triumph of adolescent id."
