I don't care about politics in music. However music and politics do have one thing in common they are both forms of escapism. I really don't know, don't care too much about Grrrl Riot. I guess I overlooked most Grrrl Riot bands. I am not one to explore a sub-genre for the sake of it. However I do have an interest in all female indie bands. There are a few groups in the 90s. either all girl bands or female fronted bands that I liked e.g. Babes in Toyland or The Muffs (respectively).

My six degrees of separation from Grrrl Riot: I quickly scan what bands were part of that scene, and was surprised to see Jack off Jill listed as one (not that I know much about them, but I like their singer). The vocals/lyricist from JoJ was Jessicka and she later went to front Scarling.. I really don't know how Riot Grrrl JoJ were, I've seen other places where JoJ are considered as a "Riot Goth-Girl" group. Scarling. have their sound described as both Noise and Goth.

Scarling. - Crispin Glover


I've read where St. Vincent produced The Centre Won’t Hold. So that piques my curiosity. So far I don't like the vocals. The music's OK. I got to find time to give it a proper listen.
