Bikini Kill

“Anti-Pleasure Dissertation” (Kill Rock Stars)
by Jon Sarre

The greatest screaming ranters and Ramones riffs thieves this side of Shonen Knife are back and as sloppy as ever. The title of this four-song 7″ may lead you to believe Bikini Kill have embraced pseudo post-post-modern theorizing á la Heavens to Betsy. Instead, you’ve got scathing, pointed punk rock produced so that everything crashes together. This record is a beautiful sonic morass that makes Green Day sound like Paul Simon in comparison. Embrace the post-feminist revolution, punk!
