"Fascinating, diverse and, most importantly, inspiring - the title alone is as much a rallying cry as a joyous statement of the truth." - Zoe Street Howe, author of Typical Girls? The Story of The Slits and other music titles. "It's exhilerating to learn about different generations of female musicians from such diverse, strong voices." - Kathleen Hanna "A very important and timely contribution to the debates about "women in rock". All-girl bands have too often been written off as novelties, and this exciting book sheds new light on an under-researched area." - Lucy O'Brien, She Bop: The Definitive History of Women in Rock, Pop and Soul., "Fascinating, diverse and, most importantly, inspiring - the title alone is as much a rallying cry as a joyous statement of the truth." - Zoe Street Howe, author of Typical Girls?

Synopsis
Julia Downes invites musicians, promoters and high profile artists to discuss their favourite girl bands: not the type who sing along to backing tracks - the real musicians, who can actually play their instruments. Including interviews with classic punk groups like The Raincoats and The Slits, as well as household names like Bjork and Beth Ditto, this timely celebration of the best female bands will show the music press that ignoring girl bands is a major oversight., In WOMEN MAKE NOISE musicians, journalists, promoters and fans excavate the hidden story of the all-girl band: from country belles of the 20s-40s and girl groups of the 60s, to prog rock goddesses, women's liberationists and punks of the 70s-80s; from riot grrrl activists and queercore anarchists of the 90s to radical protesters Pussy Riot and the most inspiring all-girl bands today. These aren't the manufactured acts of some pop svengali, these groups write their own songs, play their own instruments and make music together on their own terms.All-girl bands have made radical contributions to feminism, culture and politics as well as well as producing some unique, influential and innovative music. It's time to celebrate the outspoken voices, creative talents and gutsy performances of the all-girl bands who demand we take notice., In Women Make Noise musicians, promoters and writers explore the best girl bands of the last 50 years 'e" from the Motown groups who made sure they created their own hits to the post-punk, progressive rock, riot grrrl and queercore acts which dominate the music scene today. The creative abilities, motivations and relevance of girl bands are continually questioned. This book uncovers a more accurate narrative. Girl bands have made a radical contribution to struggles of nation, ethnicity, class, gender, age and gender. It'e(tm)s time to pay due credit to the politics, performances, songwriting skills and creative talent of the best girl bands., In WOMEN MAKE NOISE musicians, journalists, promoters and fans excavate the hidden story of the all-girl band: from country belles of the 20s-40s and girl groups of the 60s, to prog rock goddesses, women's liberationists and punks of the 70s-80s; from riot grrrl activists and queercore anarchists of the 90s to radical protesters Pussy Riot and ...
