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 comedic metal/punk rockconcept album written by Townsend.
Cooked on Phonics tells the story of a fictitious death metal band "from South Central Poland" called Cryptic Coroner; during a gig, their guitarist breaks a string, and the band is forced to improvise and tune up to play punk rock instead; the band accidentally becomes an overnight success and decides to sell out their metal look and sound to become a commercial punk rock band called Punky Brüster (the band's name being a pun on the 1980s U.S. television series Punky Brewster).
At the end of the track "Larry's O," Townsend says the album took "A week-and-a-half to write, six days to record, 12 hours to mix."
