Foetus is the primary musical outlet of
J. G. Thirlwell. Until 1995 the band underwent various name changes, all including the word
foetus. Monikers adopted at different times include
Foetus Under Glass,
You've Got Foetus on Your Breath and
Scraping Foetus Off The Wheel. After 1995 the name permanently became
Foetus, though the related project
The Foetus Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1997 and continues.
