riot grrrl movement

why has no one mentioned Babes in Toyland!!???

 

i dont know but they belong on the list definatly!

 

Babes In Toyland beats all of these other girlbands.

 

Don't know if Joan Jett/Runaways count but JJ is the greatest female rock-n-roller there ever was or will be.

 

Ditto

Though Outta Me by Bikini Kill is one of my favorite songs ever.

And another not so well known girl grunge/riot grrrl band everyone should check out is 7 Year Bitch

 

bikini kill & sleater-kinney are definitely my favs

 

Well I don't know what the original poster is looking for exactly, but here are some pop-punk bands I recommend:

Lillix
The Material
Be Your Own Pet
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
The Eyeliners
The Donnas
LiveOnRelease

I used to run to L7...good beat to keep up with. I wish running was a beer tho...

 

I love Sleater-Kinney, Le Tigre, Julie Ruin, Bikini Kill, and Babes in Toyland. I would obsessively listen to riot grrrl and female-fronted punk/grunge bands in my early teen years. They've never lost their appeal... great music.

 

The Gits pretty much fuckin rock... it's horrible how Mia Zapata died though :/

shit.. that's life

 

It was part of the 'grunge movement'...and a lot of these bands wanted to make it solely through independent labels...they believed in 'keeping the music real' and wanted to create a post-punk female movement which talked about female issues and had female members...it was totally cool, i would say bikini kill for sure...a lot of bands and music these days have emulated this, it's rad.

 

They took the 'i' out and made it more 'grrr'
