Team Dresch, who I got turned onto by a user here (shortfatdyke). They fuckin' rock. Hard. Like L7, Sleater Kinney and Superchunk put into a blender on liquefy.
Rasputina often don't rock, since they're all cellists, but occasionally they do. Like heavy metal superstars.
There's a band called Come that I have recorded on the B-side of tape that has Bikini Kill on the A-side. Sort of bluesy post-punk. Their lead singer was Thalia... umm, forget the last name... who was in a few different bands in one of those 90s alternative scenes.
Harry Crews was a band formed by Lydia Lunch and Kim Gordon. I only liked one song off their album, the chorus of which was "Waiting for the word come out the gospel singer's mouth." The title of the song came out of that chorus.
And if you can find it, get music by Mr. Airplane Man. They opened for Morphine on their last tour. Two girls from Boston playing dirty blues on drums and a grungy electric guitar. They were gooood. I got a CD at the show, and have no idea if they ever got signed. Web search... heck, according to their site, they've done a Peel Session this year. There's hope for a hard rock tomorrow, then. |
