...BIKINI KILLPussy Whipped (Kill Rock Stars CD/LP) Ever heard of "Riot Grrrl"? Probably. And if you have, you've probably also heard of Bikini Kill, the band whose members ran the fanzine whose title, "Riot Grrrl," was almost certainly the first use of the phrase. Along with other similarly-minded bands and zines, Bikini Kill let thousands of teenaged-or-slightly-older grrrls know that punk rock styles and punk rock music could be, not just about them, but by them and for them. "Riot Grrrl" got lots of misguided (and sometimes hostile) publicity as a mass movement...
What you probably haven't heard is Bikini Kill's music. Mostly, it's first-rate, gut-level punk rock, linked in the slow songs to the immortal Stooges, and in the fast ones to the staticy, brittle, emotive rocking of other bands you've never heard, like Some Velvet Sidewalk. (Check them out, too, by the way.) There's a bit more syncopation, and a bit more distortion, than in this band's former outings, but the new songs aren't that different from the inspiring, loud old ones...
