Comment:

Don't think for a second that women had their noses pressed against the window of indie, looking in; some of the scenes' most indispensable bands packed a lipstick as well as a wallop. D.C. stalwarts Velocity Girl hooked up with Smiths producer John Porter and cranked their fuzz box to its speaker-busting redline in "Sorry Again," creating in the process pumped-up power pop that critics dubbed "bubblegrunge." Dutch indie Bettie Serveert's "Palomine" ebbs and swells in dreamily fluid motion from folky jangle to muscle-flexing power riffage while vocalist Carol van Dijk drifts through the lyric as if paging through her diary, pressed flowers cozied-up next to concert tickets torn in half like a fragile heart. And Luscious Jackson's hip-wriggling seductiveness drives "Citysong" into a funk-filled frenzy, as lead singer Jill Cunniff unleashes her pheromone-drenched purr over a come-hither bed of hip-hop beats.
