Young Girls Getting Into Feminism.

I Wanted To Make Something That I Wanted To Hear That I Wasn't Hearing.

I Am Not Lyme Disease, That's Not Who I Am, I'm Still A Feminist Artist, But This Is A Part Of My Story Too, And I'm Not Going To Keep It Out To Look Cooler.

I've Always Thought That "punk" Wasn't Really A Genre. My Band Started In Olympia Where K Records Was And K Records Put Out Music That Didn't Sound Super Loud And Aggressive. And Yet They Were Punk Because They Were Creating Culture In Their Own Community Instead Of Taking Their Cue From Mtv About What Was Real Music And What Was Cool. It Wasn't About A Certain Fashion. It Was About Your Ideology, It Was About Creating A Community And Doing It On Your Own And Not Having To Rely On, Kinda, "the Man" To Brand You And Say That You Were Okay.

I Hate The Attitude Of, 'oh We Already Have A Lydia Lunch, So We Do We Need A Bikini Kill.' Well, There's Like 2 Hundered Million All-male Bands Writting 'baby Baby I Love You, Let Me Drag You Around On My Ankle.' Is That Enough Already? Duh!

I Felt Like Going Out On The Road And Mixing It With Music - Which Is Something Young People Are Always Really Interested In - Would Be A Good Way To Proselytize. It Was Like Feminist Evangelism.
