It's also relevant to consider that only the first two SK albums are proper riot grrrl albums

I mean, these bands all sounded quite different, and during most of their career SK weren't even doing feminist hardcore punk. I like those Lois songs btw, especially the Zombies cover.

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.

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.

I don't care much about politics in music either; at least, politics isn't really the reason I like riot grrrl punk. I like this Scarling song
