An outstanding compilation of artists who played at the International Pop Underground Convention in 1991.
The performers list shows a wide range of incredible artists of the era, including Bratmobile, Courtney Love, Bikini Kill, Nirvana and 7 Year Bitch. This is a beautiful 'snapshot' of the best of the early 90's west coast, and perhaps more importantly (and as the liner notes accurately put it), "All of these bands have faith in the future of punk rock and they are, without question, punk rock."
Kill Rock Stars is an excellent 14-track 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. If there was a single compilation of 'Grunge', this would be it. Between Bikini Kill, Infamous Menagere and Nirvana, it's possible to really get a sense of what was going on during the early 1990s. It is not far-fetched to consider this a slice of music revolution.
