"This will be brief, but listen up. i picked up this CD when i was in high school (roughly ten years ago now). Back when it was still mailing stamps as barter for stuff. Yeah. Ok, so this CD starts angry with Bikini Kill, stays angry, and doesn't let off. For four songs, it's a pretty compact punch. i listened to this CD and others like it a lot. Bikini Kill's "CD Version of the First Two Records" blew me away, and seeing Spitboy (sorely missed in my collection) perform in Kalamazoo (MI) at Dagobah Square was pretty mind-expanding. i learned a lot from these ladies. And it said a lot to the general attitude of the hick redneck town i lived in and how bad i needed to get out.You may not find copies of this disc easily, but if you come across it, it's worth it. Hell, i don't even know if the bands on it are around anymore, but keep scraping. Punk girls (or grrls or gurls, however you like it) are bad ass. i wish i could say it more eloquently, but really, this CD is great."
