Bratmobile – Pottymouth

Pottymouth, Bratmobile's 1993 debut, is a cornerstone of the riot grrrl movement, capturing the raw energy and feminist ethos of the early '90s punk scene. The album's lo-fi production and unapologetic lyrics reflect the band's DIY approach, challenging the male-dominated music industry and empowering women through their music. Tracks like "Cool Schmool" and "Cherry Bomb" showcase their rebellious spirit and commitment to social commentary.

The album's influence extends beyond its initial release, inspiring a new generation of feminist punk bands. Its inclusion in various "best of" lists underscores its lasting impact on indie rock and punk music. Pottymouth remains a testament to Bratmobile's role in shaping the riot grrrl movement and their contribution to feminist discourse in music.
