SHONEN KNIFE
From Osaka, Japan - formed in 1981 by sisters Naoko & Atsuko long before terms like ‘riot girrrl’ and ‘girl rock’ entered the lexicon, the all-female trio were happily, snapping guitar strings to the sound of imported Ramones covers.
Like fellow cult Japanese girl group The 5,6,7,8s, Shonen Knife have weathered decades of musical change by adhering to what they know best: belting out their own infectious brand of feelgood pop-punk.
Over the last 40 years, they might not have packed out stadiums but have been credited as a huge influence on alt-rock acts from Sonic Youth to Nirvana. Despite years on the road, their enthusiasm for live performances remains a joy to see as
they delve into an extensive back catalogue ranging from solid thrash rock through to hit parade melodies.
But the key to their success has been a disarming, often slightly surreal, take on their punk and rock influences - and with songs titled Tortoise Brand Pot Cleaner could they ever be accused of taking themselves too seriously?

SKUNK MAMA (anti-folk, 2000s/Juno-core) writes overtly honest songs, from the depths of her most miserable (and funny) moments. And also sometimes songs about stuff like love and like like and her cat. This Trash Disney Princess is ready to meet y'all with arms open and a lot of songs you didnt know you needed - but you just might: Enter scared, leave feeling a bit more okay and accepted <3
