What's the Story? Episode March 11, 2022

(What's The Story) Riot Grrrl?

12:59pm - 1:55pm

What's up grrrlies, today I'm talking about Riot Grrrl, the feminist punk genre and political movement originating in Olympia, WA in the early 90s. This is one of my favourite and most listened-to genres so I hope you guys like it! I played some contemporary stuff in the second half of the show which I guess isn't officially Riot Grrrl because that kinda began and died in the 90s but they have the same energy and message so I thought it would be a bit more interesting to highlight some of that too!

Love Rock Revolution Girl Style NOW!
