About
This collection, released in June 1998, features three 7”s of non-LP Bikini Kill material released on the Kill Rock Stars label in the ‘90s. The Joan Jett–produced versions of “New Radio” and “Rebel Girl” are among the most vicious yet complete-sounding recordings the band ever made. Leader Kathleen Hanna and her Riot Grrrl politics birthed the band and boosted their visibility, but they always <i>rocked</i>. Each of the nine tracks has energy, a melody, and a wall of guitars that make it as essential as predecessors like The Sex Pistols, The Clash, and The Damned, as well as later contemporaries Sleater-Kinney, who extended pieces of Bikini Kill's mission.
