So that's where Miley Cyrus got her new look from...

I just remembered that the first nighttime show I went to by a band with actual albums out was The Rhythm Pigs. An under-appreciated act and awesome live...when they did a cover of the Peanuts theme the pit went beserk. It didn't hurt that just before they started, the singer yelled out "Charlie Brown was a skinhead!" Their style leaned towards Husker Du, but had a hardcore base to it.

On the subject of female-fronted punk, what's the skinny on Melt-Banana? I've got my hands on their Charlie album but haven't gotten around to listening to it yet. (as you can see I generally prefer the noisier or more experimental types of punk over stuff that's too close to "normal" rock music)

Well, if you like the noisier & more experimental stuff, then Melt Banana certainly fits that description. Charlie is a pretty good introduction, although I prefer the followup 'Teeny Shiny' more as it's more eclectic yet still frenetic (what a raging sound for "First Contact to Planet Q"!) as well as the release prior to Charlie, 'Scratch Or Stitch', which is a more direct and faster assault on the senses...I think you'd dig that one a lot.
I haven't actually listened to their later releases as 2003 album 'Cell-Scape' was a shift in style I wasn't into as much...I should check them out someday as my music tastes have sorta branched out as well.

Mmm, love me some Melties. Cell-Scape found them branching out with longer, less out-of-control songs, and its followup Bambi's Dilemma had a little of everything.
