Episode 068: We’re finally handing the aux cord over to the women who actually know how to use it—no dudes, no filler, just pure energy. This episode, we’re tracing the lineage of noise from the riot grrrl foundations of Bikini Kill to the unapologetic, loud-as-hell provocations of The SoapGirls, stopping along the way for the viral punk energy of The Linda Lindas and the bratty, technical precision of VIAL. We even take a detour into the cinematic trip-hop weirdness of Cibo Matto before letting Mitski deliver a masterclass in controlled songwriting chaos. It’s a six-track deep dive into the distortion, grit, and melody that prove "playing like a girl" is a threat, not a descriptor.
