First sight: Baby Guts

The Guardian, Friday 30 January 2009
Who are they?A three-piece feminist punk-rock group from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Their
official biography claims them to be former members of such bands as
"Burnsville dance-riot fallopian phenomenon Daisy's Compact Mice and
junior high all-girl five-piece Fetus Farm", but we're not sure how
much of their official biography to believe.
Feminist punk rock? Is that another way of saying "riot grrl"?Yes. The man from their US label, Guilt Ridden Pop, classifies them as "part
of a new third wave of riot grrl bands". However, we should declare
that the lyrics don't actually convey that clear a message. But we do
like the way singer/guitarist Laura Larson screams them.
Does that mean they are all screaming, no tunes?Actually, no. If you like Vivian Girls, you'll like Baby Guts: they deal in a
similar rough-and-ready style of punk rock, with melodies.
Where can I hear them?They already have an EP (Gasoline) and an album (The Kissing Disease), but
they were only released in the US on Guilt Ridden Pop. You can buy them
from the label, or on download. You can hear five tracks at
