The Singles is a compilation album of three singles by punk rock band Bikini Kill. The album was released in 1998 by Kill Rock Stars. Joan Jett produces, plays guitar and sings on the first three tracks.
The Portland trio's first album for Sub Pop. a much more riff-heavy affair, this release finds the band pushing their sonic/compositional boundaries, while maintaining their identity.
Bikini Kill's first 'proper' record improves greatly on the production quality of the band's earlier efforts. The production convincingly adds a brittle immediacy to the record that only serves to raise the album's emotional stakes.
SLEATER-KINNEY is the first effort by acclaimed rock band Sleater-Kinney. Reviewer Zach Curd stated that the album "is a medium-fi blast of thrashy riot grrrl rock. Some tracks are reminiscent of 09s Sonic Youth, while others are just blasts of punk angst
