Finally Punk

"This is the band Bikini Kill was trying to inspire with all that riot grrl stuff. Four girls from Austin, TX playing their own style of punk that sound like equal parts Mika Miko, Lungleg and Meltdown. Hilarious, true and liberating. This is just as fresh-sounding as those Kleenex 7"s you are hunting for, and it's happening today!" -Tobi Vail Fans of the Raincoats, Kleenex/LiliPUT, and the Slits you wont be disappointed.

Doves Of Disorder

Glasgow band DOVES OF DISORDER are a fire-breathing, four-headed, eight-legged heavy-pop-punk machine. They formed in July 2008 after Heather (vocals), Susie (guitar/vocals) James (drums) and Barry (bass) were asked to leave a speed-dating event in their hometown – none of the band are willing to admit why they were asked to leave but rumours persist that it was due to them being "too damn sexy..."
