The best of the riot grrl bands? The 10" comp on KRS remains my peak, but I just discovered there is a relatively new Peel Sessions release!

They were the greatest band in the world between 92 and 93 and had totally lost it by 94. Recentish book on them is good and explains some of why that happened. I'm weirdly happy they haven't gotten the royal Numero reissue treatment?

ooh link to the book? I was totally baffled by that, the Gravity 7" and the Weaponry LP were hugely disappointing at the time.

only ever saw them once, that was at the White Horse in Hampstead supporting Unrest on the Imperial f.f.r.r. tour

I love them. tbh while I didn't like Weaponry Listens To Love at first I've come to like some of the songs on it. never had an issue with the Gravity 7" though
there's a couple of unreleased tracks on the Peel Sessions that just came out
Bikini Kill/Huggy Bear split LP one of the best punk albums of all time
