Rough Trade Essential

Bikini Kill is an American feminist punk rock band from Olympia, Washington. Formed in 1990 and disbanded in 1997, they were pioneers of the riot grrrl movement. Known for their powerful music and outspoken lyrics, Bikini Kill challenged societal norms and fought against sexism in the music industry. After a long hiatus, the band reunited in 2019 to continue spreading their message of empowerment through music.

Kill Rock Stars is an indie label co-founded by Tinúviel and Slim Moon in Olympia, Washington. Originally intended as an outlet for Slim Moon's spoken word records, the label quickly expanded into the vibrant music scene of the region. With a focus on promoting female artists, Kill Rock Stars gained recognition as one of the few U.S. indie labels with an all-female full-time staff after Slim Moon's departure in 2006.

Over the years, Kill Rock Stars has been home to legendary Riot Grrl/Indie/Punk Rock acts such as The Gossip, Unwound, Bikini Kill, Witchypoo, and Sleater-Kinney. Their catalog includes a diverse range of releases that have made a significant impact on alternative music.

20th anniversary reissue of <a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/artist/bikini-kill">Bikini Kill's</a> debut 12" EP with download.

The vinyl reissue includes a new fanzine in the form of a 34" x 21" poster featuring interviews with Ian Mackaye (<a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/artist/minor-threat">Minor Threat</a>, <a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/artist/fugazi">Fugazi</a>, The Evens) and Molly Neuman (Bratmobile), liner notes by Layla Gibbon (Skinned Teen, Mrr), excerpts from the band's zines (Bikini Kill 1 and 2, Figsaw 4), and photos from band members' personal archives. The self-titled EP, originally released in the fall of 1992, comprises four songs recorded by Ian Mackaye at inner ear studios; one song from the band's 1991 demo cassette, record by Pat Maley (Yo-Yo Studios); and one song recorded during<a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/artist/bikini-kill"> Bikini Kill's</a> live performance April 4th, 1992, at Washington, D.C.'s Sanctuary Theater. This release has two of their most famous songs, Suck My Left One (a deeply disturbing incest fantasy in which Kathleen Hanna keeps shifting viewpoints so quickly, from rage to horror to a kind of mocking, in-your-face titillation, that the listener is left vertiginous by the end) and Thurston Hearts The Who (a sort of American post-punk version of the Gang of Four's Anthrax). Originally released in 1991 but still as essential and important as the day it was released.
