Compilation of angular '70s/early '80s radical female-fronted post-punk aggro-pop. Ladies to the mike, please! After a long stint of male dominance during the '70s, with only a few scattered exceptions to prove the rule, the birth of punk manifested the dawn of a new self-confidence: awkward girl bands like
The Slits
,
Au Pairs
or German variant
Mania D
. Causing a stir in their dick-dominated surroundings, the cliché of the dishwashing female reduced to rearing offspring and shooting the odd admiring glance at her strong breadwinner was about to undergo a radical U-turn -- many of the era's pivotal bands featured women right at the frontline. Kickstarted by provocative pop actionists like
Valie Export
in the early '70s, this new feminist attitude was picked up and perpetuated with her musical sisters in mind. Nevertheless, this compilation does not dwell on the political statements behind the scene's artistic emancipation, but rather highlights its singers' newfound musical self-confidence. All tracks featured here simply bristle with untainted, exuberant freshness. Features artists such as post-punk Bristol-sounders
