Rectus Abdominus' cover art for their cover of Roaring Thunder.

Rectus Abdominus is a comedy rock (self described as whimsicore, sillycore, or tardcore) band created in 2017, most known for the 2017 hit Roblox Dad Plug, and experiencing a commercial resurgence after making Emo covers of Daniel Larson's songs in 2023, that being Roaring Thunder and Something More.

As of March 2024, they longer wish to associate with Daniel and his music, although Roaring Thunder and Something More have remained in their setlist for performances even after their announcement of cutting ties with Daniel.

Origin

Rectus Abdominus was formed by childhood best friends lead vocalist and guitarist Jade Vitriol (lead vocals/guitar), Jeff The Epic (vocals/bass), Cameron Masse (vocals/keyboards), and Owenonio (vocals/drums) on March 5, 2017. They rose to local fame shortly after upon releasing four studio albums within their first year as a band, with many songs gaining thousands of streams on multiple platforms. The band made the addition of second guitarist and vocalist Kenonio shortly after their debut album Fully Erect in May 2017. After breaking up on March 5, 2020, they returned in September 2021 with a surprise release album, but with the only returning member being Jade Vitriol. The full band (sans original drummer Owenonio) reunited in mid-2022 and released their first album together in nearly three years, To Infinity and Your Mom on November 11, 2022. They are known for making songs criticizing and parodying situations current at the time, as well as using juvenile humor and terms within their songs.

Graduate Records

According to a post made by u/timeturnedfragilee, they had discovered Daniel sometime in July 2020, attempting to sign Daniel to an indie record label that they themselves had started up in early 2020 called "Graduate Records". He claims to have been the first individual to sign Daniel to this record label during Daniel's Presidential Campaign, and attempted to contact Daniel regarding this matter through a leaked phone number. After a conversation, the OP claims that Daniel was not interested in signing to the label as he claimed it was "not big enough", then on signing to Fine Dining Records. The OP concludes stating that Graduate Records had closed up shop after a lack of success from some music released, and with Daniel allegedly wanting to "blow up" the band.

Daniel's Response

Daniel has been aware of the bands existence and the covers of his songs as of July 2023, with a post made on the 3rd of July regarding the "court" being aware of the "impersonation" with his songs and that a case had been opened up regarding the matter. The likelihood of this being true is very slim.

As stated in the original post by u/timeturnedfragilee, Daniel has stated that he would like the band to be "blown up", however evidence of this statement being made has not been found.
