Idk... that might be a little harsh.

Sonically they were, at least conceptually, they were closer to Lydia Lunch, Sonic Youth, and Pussy Galore than Bikini Kill. The problem is by that time there were so many bands modeled around that sound it was ridiculous. Every town in America, and probably Europe too, that had a live music venue had at least a couple bands doing something along those lines. It’s really a marketing coup that they got on the riot grrrl train at all. That said, if you take the crowded field out of consideration they were pretty damn intense. I think they deserve the space they carved out for themselves.
