Bratmobile - The Real Janelle & The Peel Session - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Along with Bikini Kill, Bratmobile spearheaded the riot grrrl revolution of the early 1990s, battling the long-standing dominance of men within the punk rock community to help empower a new generation of female musicians and fans. Comprised of singer Allison Wolfe, guitarist Erin Smith, and drummer Molly Neuman, Bratmobile made their debut at 1991's International Pop Underground convention; after a handful of singles-with members spread out between California, Washington, and Maryland, recording was a logistical nightmare-the trio finally released Pottymouth in 1993. - By Jason Ankeny, Allmusic.

The Stone - Fear Life For A Lifetime [COMPACT DISCS] UK - Import date 07/19/2024

Bratmobile's sophomore LP finds Allison Wolfe's singsong delivery of her trademark barbed-wire lyrics center stage - each line catching the ear and cutting with truth. Backed by Molly Neuman's heart attack drumming and Erin Smith's shark-in-the-surf riffs the band returns pulling no punches. This is essential feminist punk.
