Topic: Bikini Kill


  
  Bikini Kill
Their music was too abrasive to ever make it into the mainstream, but Bikini Kill's uncompromising combination of lo-fi hi-speed punk and female empowerment sensibilities helped pave the way for such prominent acts as Sleater-Kinney, Hole, and PJ Harvey.
After a 1993 tour and split seven-inch with English Riot Grrrl act Huggy Bear, Bikini Kill returned to the States and teamed with Joan Jett to produce the three song "New Radio" + 2 seven-inch.
This record was perhaps the high point in the band's rollercoaster career: a vitriolic, caustic exercise in feminist punk rock chaos that also managed to be experimental, artistic, and catchy.

 Kill Rock Stars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kill Rock Stars is a record label founded in 1991 by Slim Moon and based in Olympia, Washington, United States, though it will be moving some of its operations to NYC and Portland in 2007.
The first major release was a compilation of Olympia-area bands simply titled Kill Rock Stars (Stars Kill Rock and Rock Stars Kill would follow in the same compilation series) and featured Bikini Kill, Bratmobile, Unwound and The Melvins.
In fact, Moon has said that the label began releasing music because Bikini Kill, Bratmobile and Unwound were too exciting to remain unsigned.

Um, Bikini Kill used to be a band, but they have nothing to do with this story.
Adults prattle on and on about them, but live their lives free of all but the most general laws, while childhood is a tyranny of rules and regulations, many of them self-imposed.
The bikini had little triangular, crocheted cups -- thankfully with an underwire, because there was no way she could go without one -- on top, and a two teeny triangular patches of crochet front and back, held together by two thin strands of material that rode her slender hips enticingly, on the bottom.

Initially pegged as "riot girls," something to which Bikini Kill always objected, the band took nearly four years to record its second full-length album, REJECT ALL AMERICAN, by which time the "movement" had died down somewhat, thus freeing it from the stifling label.
The pop move is most obvious on "False Start," which, given sweeter lyrics, could have given the Bangles a run for their money.

Bikini Kill's final release (in 1998 —; the year they disbanded) is compiled from three separate 7-inches, contains some of their best tracks and stands midway between the punk caterwaul of Pussywhipped and Reject All-American's pop aspirations.
For their third recorded version of "Rebel Girl," the flagship song of the riot grrrl massive, they melded with Joan Jett's steelhardy growl, a historic pairing of feminist punk's forbear and its future on some propulsive, hefty riffs.
