Riot Grrrls

NPR
Published June 17, 1996 at 11:00 PM CDT

Music reviewer Mark Jenkins has a report on music from some of today's all-girl bands who call themselves "Riot Grrrls." (GIRLS) Their style features confrontational, in-your-face lyrics, and an uncompromisingly frank attitude about men, sexuality, and modern life. Jenkins takes a look at music from the Raincoats, Bikini Kill, and Sleater-Kinney. (IN STEREO)
