Bikini Kill

Bikini Kill is an American punk rock band formed in Olympia, Washington, in October 1990. The group consists of singer and songwriter Kathleen Hanna, guitarist Billy Karren, bassist Kathi Wilcox, and drummer Tobi Vail. The band is widely considered to be the pioneer of the riot grrrl movement, and was known for its radical feminist lyrics and fiery performances. Their music is characteristically abrasive and hardcore-influenced. After two full-length albums, several EPs and two compilations, they disbanded in 1997. The band reunited for a tour in 2019.

Links to Peel
Peel seemed to discover the band through various compilation albums in 1992. The band released a shared album with Huggy Bear, the latter getting extensive airplay from Peel, including two sessions and an entry in the 1993 Festive Fifty. In 1993, Bikini Kill did a session for Peel's show. However, he seemed to have lost interest in them, when the Britpop scene dominated the alternative music scene in the mid 90's.
