Indecent assault is an offence of aggravated assault in some common law-based jurisdictions. It is characterised as a sex crime and has significant overlap with offences referred to as sexual assault.
Indecent Assault are a UK punk band formed in the mid-1980s based in Dudley in the Black Country of the West Midlands. The group issued 2 EPs on their own Reaganstein label in 1986 and 1987. The first EP has since become a much sought-after item, featuring four songs that blend anarcho-inspired lyrics across a backdrop of tuneful, sing-along punk anthems. The second EP was described as "typical mid-tempo punk thrash", with "far more melodic punk material" on the B-side by Anorexia. The band discontinued shortly after the second EP was released but then started again in 2005, once more gigging regularly and writing and recording brand new material.
Most songs comprise are in the band's unique style that is not instantly noticeable, namely structured of verse and chorus three times and an abrupt finish. Reviews after their appearance at the 2015 Rebellion Festival described them as "an as angry as fuck street punk band."
Indecent Assault made their London live debut on 10th October 2015, supporting the recently re-formed Warwound.
