Team Dresch are icons in the lesbian punk scene though despite being around for some time (from the early 90s to recent albeit not continuously) they have only released a couple of albums to date plus some singles. This is their debut album from 1994 and its bloody great!
Team Dresch produce very listenable punk pop with a spiky edge, tracks like "She's amazing" and "Free wheel" have a great pop sensibility. There is punk rock anger though such as the explosive "Hate the Christian right" which erupts with anger out of the speakers (might you with a title like that do you really expect anything else?) Even on tracks like this though its all very listenable, Team Dresch must have come to the conclusion that if you have something to say there isn't much point making your listeners' ears bleed. And we should all be thankful for that.
Got to say i love this album, so much so its one of the few albums which i lost over the years and bought again.
