OHAI!!
These are some reviews I did as a host of GRLGRMS!
Bikini Kill – “Thurston Hearts the Who”
The song I am reviewing is a review of Bikini Kill read out by Kathi Wilcox. Bikini Kill is the most intense grrrl band I’ve ever heard, and the lack of credit, and the negativity they got in the 90’s was ridiculous! Most of the time you can’t understand the review over instrumental distortion, chorus, and terrifying screams. You’ll love it!
Terror Bird – “We Were Monsters”
I’m going through this mega-huge pop phase right now, and what I like most about indie pop is swearing. I’m a big fan of casual swearing, and to hear it in an anti-love song over a dark pop beat is the ultimate! Terror Bird is like a basic but better and more powerful, version of Siouxsie!
Blondewich – “Boom Boom”
This song is a cover of The Granny Smiths. (Is it a cover when original members are in the ‘covering’ band?) The original is very pop-punky. This version is slower, almost droning on to create a better version. The yelling at the end is painful and heartfelt, like every good love song should be.
You Say Party! We Say Die! – “The Gap (between the rich and the poor)"
Do you remember how fun this band used to be to see? The Gap has the most anarchistic message out of any of YSP! WSD!’s songs. Becky yells the whole song out, but unlike the other songs reviewed here, her voice isn’t terrifying or painful. It’s strong and confident.
