CL RECOMMENDS
CL Critic Matthew Warhol Recommends: The original riot grrrls are back! I remember the first time I heard Bikini Kill. I was a freshman in college and bought their 1992 debut EP on a whim at a Hot Topic. Even 20 years after its release, the songs still sound fresh, full of the same revolutionary, youthful energy that has always existed in punk. These are women burning the trad-wife expectations put upon their gender for all of human history. “Suck My Left One,” a brash protest against sexual abuse, always stuck out to me because of its honest descriptions and unapologetic chorus. Even today, the song remains subversive. It’s fitting, yet frightening, that Bikini Kill are touring at a time when abortion access is more restricted now than when they formed over 30 years ago. We need feminist punk now more than ever. - MW
