Harvey, especially her early songs like Dress, Me-Jane, Sheela-Na-Gig and Man-Size. 50 Ft. Queenie is another great one. Readers out there might also want to try P.J.

I didn't really get into riot grrrl until I was maybe a sophomore in high school. I hope there are more girls like you out there! Alex Catgirl makes some really great points, and I think that one of the best all girl bands ever, one of the pivotal pre-riot grrrl groups, Babes in Toyland, makes that point. Cute name, rough sound. Cute dresses, lacy underwear. They really force you to look at women's image in society and what kind of idea is given by a grown woman dressing up like a little girl. Smart as hell and I highly recommend their stuff to Bikini Kill fans (Kathleen Hanna admits to being inspired by Babes)! Cherry Sterile– how cool are you?

I'll tell you why the DYI was such an important part of the movement as I've heard the stories, in the 80s girls were being pushed out of the music scene, punk got too violent, the alt-scene too clique, and music was guy-centric....So these girls rebelled, they started their own movement to promote girl artists, that's what the zines were all about, they didn't have the internet, or computers, cell phones, facebook, myspace,etc. they promoted themselves in print and instead of mp3 they used cassette tapes :D :D D People would listen to tapes, and if they were good they would make copies to give to their friends, sometimes in other cities. One of the best stories is about Liz Phair's girlysound tapes, and why her first album (which is listed in the top 100 ever produced) is titled Exile in Guyville. There was more to riot grrl than activism on issues such as rape, it was about the right of girls to be grrls(girls, only meaner :D), instead of having to be "one of the guys" to get respect. grumble grumble *cough*idea stealer *cough*

I found out about the whole riot grrrl scene by reading a book called Cinderella's big score: Women of the punk and indie underground by Maria Raha. I also love Lunachicks and Sleater-Kinney and I think that more teenage girls should listen to more bands from this era! I’m 13 years old and I LOVE BIKINI KILL!
