I really hate Riot Grrl, because I feel it's like what PETA is to us vegetarians, it makes uss look like ASSHOLES.

Huggy Bear, but that's only because they had a male singer.

Heh heh...I like seeing him dance around and singing in this video: YouTube - Huggy Bear "Feb. 14th".

Sheep-Squeak, I haven't listened to many songs by the various Riot Grrrl movement bands, but so far I'd say I like The Butchies, a lesbian queercore band from the late 1990s that Wikipedia, at least, says counts as a Riot Grrrl band. The main singer Kaia Wilson's voice = yum!

The butchies? Hmmm i never heard of them before. I like the song you posted actually lol and I agree with you i like the singers voice XD

And Huggy Bear??? i Only know of one song called no sleep. Its sad how hard it can sometimes to find songs for certain bands these days :(

Has anyone ever heard of the red aunts?

I love 7 Year Bitch. Viva Zapata is a classic. Speaking of Zapata... they're not quite a riot grrrl band but definetly a strong female fronted punk rock group:

The Gits.



Lead singer was raped and killed in Seattle. Really sad.

Here's another song by the Butchies that I like: "Trouble."

Their music is fairly popular-sounding and seems to deal with more interpersonal issues (love, albeit love between women) than social issues but, gosh, I like the sound of their songs! And I love Kaia Wilson's voice....mmmmmmmmm. :) In contrast, with a lot of the more punkier Riot Grrrl music I don't like to actually *listen* to the music because of its abrasive and less melodic sound.

Since women loving women, men loving men, and the breaking down of gender barriers so people are free to be themselves are an important part of feminism, I like that aspect of The Butchies' music. This message seems to be implicit in their music rather than being directly stated (at least in the songs I've heard). The Butchies' activism appears to be of the more subtle variety (at least based on the sound) rather than in-your-face-anger-activism, so their music may appeal to people who are put off by angry lyrics.

I have never heard of the Red Aunts! I'll see what I find out. Their name makes me curious.

The Butchies - "Trouble"

I like the red aunts even though they aren't really a good band haha, they have some songs that i really like.

What are some of your favorites by the red aunts?

The things you see
I can't so anything right
When sugar turns to ****
The vibrator song (i just tihnk its funny a song hehe )
Suerte
Bullet train

A lot of the people i show this band to think they suck LOL I also don't think they are that good but for some reason I listen to them XD

I hate it when people call Red Aunts a riot grrrl band. :(


They were a garage band dammit!
