Why 2010 will be the year of the Riot Grrrl revival (if we want it to be)

The blogosphere has been buzzing for the past few days with news of Kathleen Hanna’s recent donation of treasured papers to NYU Library’s Special Collections. Hanna has gifted her writings, zines, and other ephemera from the late ’80s/early ’90s riot grrrl scene, which will serve to establish the Riot Grrrl Collection–the first collection of its [...]

The Go Team : 1989 Monthly Series of Releases (1989)

The Go Team was an influential late ’80′s band from Olympia, WA featuring Calvin Johnson, Tobi Vail, and a rotating cast of guest musicians (which included Kurt Cobain, Donna Dresch, and Bikini Kill’s Billy Karren). Their sound can be likened to that of Beat Happening or heaps of other K Recs/”love rock” bands, but it’s [...]

Sonic Youth : Bull in the Heather [Video]

I’m currently halfway through reading Our Band Could Be Your Life, in the middle of the chapter on Sonic Youth. Went Googling for some old school videos and found this piece of awesomeness, with Kathleen Hanna herself dancing for the band.

Record of the Week: Deathrats : s/t 7″ (2009)

Image unknowingly courtesy of xbrachiosarusx Yesterday, I came across a MRR blogpost highlighting the female-fronted DC hardcore band Deathrats. I don’t have words enough to describe how excited this band and their debut record make me, as DR is yet another example of the emerging lady- and lady-fronted hardcore/crust/whatever movement–if it can even be called [...]

The Gossip [Video]

I’ve been pretty apathetic when it comes to the Gossip–they’ve been on my radar for years but they’ve never really “done it for me,” even though they’re queer rock royalty. One can’t help but want to pledge their undying loyalty to Queen Ditto and her court upon seeing this gem from Scotland’s T in the [...]
