KILL ROCK STARS contains songs by bands who either hail from Olympia, Washington or who played at the Olympia Pop Festival in August, 1991. Performers include Nirvana, Melvins, Nation Of Ulysses, and Jad Fair.
Kill Rock Stars is an excellent 18-track various-artists collection capturing the essence of early-'90s indie-rock pop underground. It's divided equally between amateurish indie-pop, abrasive punk and riot grrrl, featuring many of the best underground bands of that time, including Bratmobile ("Girl Germs"), Mecca Normal ("Narrow"), Bikini Kill ("Feels Blind"), Heavens to Betsy ("My Red Self"), Unwound ("You Speak Jealousy"), Nation of Ulysses ("N.O.U. Cooking with Gas"), Some Velvet Sidewalk ("Loch Ness"), Nirvana ("Beeswax"), and Lois performing under the name Courtney Love ("Don't Mix the Colors"). ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Includes liner notes by Candice Pedersen.
