Spitboy

Holy cow, what an important band!  Spitboy was an all-female hardcore band during a time where hardcore was a super-dudely clubhouse with every deterrent for female involvement except a "No Girls Allowed" sign posted.   Spitboy was from the Bay Area during the early 90's and all you have to do is Google search them and you'll find endless accounts more personal than mine about what an impact this band had on people's lives.  They were a huge influence on everybody, regardless of sexuality or identity, and they got people thinking and helped make punk a more open space (it's still not perfect, if you couldn't tell).  Oh and they fucking rocked so hard.  This is their full length record, True Self Revealed from 1993.


ps. I still have every Spitboy 7" in my distro, Cesspool Sounds, and I am very disappointed in you all for not buying them.
