I probably stared at this record cover hundreds of times after high school everyday when I was 15 and 16.  I was lucky enough a few years later to take video art classes at my undergrad university with the woman who shot the record cover, Tammy Rae Carland.  Along with Bikini Kill, bands like Huggy Bear, Sleater Kinney, Team Dresch, and other bands like Sister George, L7, Seven year Bitch, and even HOLE, were members of a loose network of primarily female musicians who carved a unique niche in the music scene throughout the 90’s.

Flip the record. . .

A new book called GIRLS TO THE FRONT chronicles this fascinating time. I just ordered the book and though I find the writing style to be more conversational than I expected, with a strong use of first-person narrative, I think this book is going to be a solid one.  Girl Style Revolution NOW!

Order the book.
