The C.D. Version of the First Two Records

The C.D. Version of the First Two Records collects Bikini Kill's early recordings and captures the band's raw, DIY punk-influenced indie rock. It features Kathleen Hanna's shouted, confrontational vocals over jagged guitar, propulsive bass and urgent drumming, with direct lyrics about gender, power and underground politics. The sound is immediate and unpolished, reflecting the band's central role in the riot grrrl movement and in 1990s independent music.
