List Of Riot Grrrl Bands

The following is a list of bands associated with the riot grrrl genre from the early 1990s to the present, mainly in the USA and UK.

NB: some of these bands pre-dated the original riot grrrl movement, while others may be more accurately categorised as grunge (see also 'foxcore'), queercore, punk, post-punk, no wave, digital hardcore or indie pop. Many bands did not identify with riot grrrl during the scene's first wave of the early 90s but became associated via personal and artistic connections or identified as riot grrrl by fans and/or the media due to aesthetic and genre similarities. On the same basis bands continue to be identified or self-identify as riot grrrl up to the present day.

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, riot and/or bands:

    Thirty—the promise of a decade of loneliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning brief-case of enthusiasm, thinning hair.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    Weigh what loss your honor may sustain
    If with too credent ear you list his songs,
    Or lose your heart, or your chaste treasure open
    To his unmastered importunity.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    So when Pilate saw that he could do nothing, but rather that a riot was beginning, he took some water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of this man’s blood; see to it yourselves.”
    Bible: New Testament, Matthew 27:24.

    The thing that struck me forcefully was the feeling of great age about the place. Standing on that old parade ground, which is now a cricket field, I could feel the dead generations crowding me. Here was the oldest settlement of freedmen in the Western world, no doubt. Men who had thrown off the bands of slavery by their own courage and ingenuity. The courage and daring of the Maroons strike like a purple beam across the history of Jamaica.
    Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
