In 1990, Bikini Kill formed in Olympia, WA to challenge the male-dominated indie rock world with their confrontational declaration of girls up front while guys can go do their thing in the corner. First as a zine, second as a band, third as a legacy, it wasnʼt long before Bikini Kill earned their place as one of the most controversial bands of all time. The group is credited with instigating the Riot Grrrl movement in the early 90's via their political lyrics and confrontational live show, igniting generations of female-fronted bands along the way. Pussy Whipped is Bikini Kill's debut studio album, originally released in 1993 on Kill Rock Stars and home to the definitive "Rebel Girl."
