Description
In WOMEN MAKE NOISE musicians, promoters, journalists and fans explore the best girl bands of the last 50 years - from the Motown groups who wrote their own
hits to the post-punk, rock and pop acts which dominate the contemporary music scene currently. In the mainstream media, the creative abilities, motivations and relevance of all-girl bands are continually questioned. This book uncovers a more
accurate narrative. In the past fifty years, girl bands have made a radical contribution
to struggles of nation, ethnicity, class, gender, age and feminism. As well as producing some amazing music. It's time to pay due credit to the politics, performances, songwriting skills and creative talent of the best all-girl bands.
Including interviews with members of the original 60s girl groups and classic punk outfits like The Raincoats and The Slits as well as household names of today. This timely exploration of the best female bands will show magazines like NME that sidelining girl bands is a major oversight.
Interviews and b/w photographs throughout.
