Alright, I normally wouldn't cross-post, but you've got your story so 
fucking backwards that it sickens me.  The lead singer is not, to my 
knowledge, gay - they got the name because they saw some guy eating 
another guy's asshole at a party, discovered a kernel of corn, and said 
something about it.  It became a joke amongst the band members, and hence 
the name.  

Also, they're not hardcore - they don't claim to be hardcore, and they 
certainly don't sound hardcore - but that doesn't stop them from being an 
excellent band (IMHO)..
