Punky Brüster – Cooked on Phonics is the debut studio album by Canadian musician Devin Townsend, originally released as Cooked on Phonics under the fictional band name Punky Brüster. It was released on Townsend's label, HevyDevy Records, on March 19, 1996. 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). At the end of the track "Larry-O," Townsend says the album took "A week-and-a-half to write, six days to record, 12 hours to mix."
All tracks written by Devin Townsend.
Each member of the project is credited under two aliases, the first as a Punky Brüster member, and the second as a Cryptic Coroner member.
