mkultraviolence 5,832 Posted May 1, 2020 "Bikini Kill is an American punk rock band formed in Olympia, Washington, in October 1990. The group consists of singer and songwriter Kathleen Hanna, guitarist Billy Karren, bassist Kathi Wilcox, and drummer Tobi Vail. The band is widely considered to be the pioneer of the riot grrrl movement, and was known for its radical feminist lyrics and fiery performances. Their music is characteristically abrasive and hardcore-influenced. After two full-length albums, several EPs and two compilations, they disbanded in 1997. The band reunited for tours in 2019 and 2020." - Wikipedia 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maxthehitman 1,729 Posted May 1, 2020 Good for you Punk rock bands always have something "honest" to say about our society. These bands usually dont last for too long, but what they have recorded has left a mark on many people´s minds. I believe one of their great admirers is also David Grohl from the Foo Fighters. He was/is always into underground and punk bands too. One other band, which unfortunatelly has split up, made some great music and sang great lyrics, was The Dresden Dolls. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dresden_Dolls Just a great drummer and girl singer which also played a cool piano. Its a mix of punk-rock and Dark-Cabaret. Imagine yourself living in a 1930s cabaret in Berlin ! lol They were amazing and the music very good too. Nasty lyrics! DO GET ALL of their albums ! I have all of these bands albums for years. - must see concert 1 Quote - Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
