In one of the early-1990s riot grrrl zines, Bikini Kill threw a challenge at the young women of America: "Find the biggest bitch in town and start a band with her." Two decades later, that wise advice keeps making noise around the world, from Pussy Riot to the kids in your town who just started their band last week. BK’s 1992 debut EP remains one of the all-time great American punk statements. These rebel grrrls turn feminist rage into rowdy rock & roll fun, ranting and chanting over primal riffs like "Suck My Left One." They went on to make even stronger records, but the ballad "Feels Blind" sums them up – desperate, defiant, unkillable, inspirational.

“More Than a Feeling”

Boston mastermind Tom Scholz was as surprised by anyone when he sent his unsolicited demo to record labels and got back a positive response. Scholz said, “I couldn’t believe it. Nobody knew who we were, so I wouldn’t even say we were struggling. It was groveling.” Part of the credit for the interest must go to the anthemic rock number "More Than a Feeling." Inspired by the Left Banke's 1966 hit "Walk Away Renee," Scholz worked on the song for five years in his basement studio before it was released on this album.
