Era & Context

Arrived amid grunge's male-dominated noise with an equally raw but distinctly female perspective on desire, power, and the body, predating riot grrrl's mainstream visibility.

Career Phase

Raw Power Trio 1992-1993

Intense, abrasive blues-punk trio format. Steve Albini-recorded brutality meeting raw feminist fury.
