Yeah, yeah, yeah, the mainstream media
(with the possible exception of Greil Marcus, but is he really "mainstream"?)
remains resolutely stupid about the riot grrrl thing (not to mention women
in music in general). Still, it's interesting to read what they've had
to say about S-K. Below are links to articles about them, including reviews, interviews, and essays.Some pieces are on this site; the others are
links, either to the original piece or to a fan site that has copied it, or to a fan site that has its own archive. I do NOT hold the copyright to these pieces.
Have fun reading!
