Babes | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

Babes In Toyland is part of the Riot Girl scene that came out of the Alternative Rock and Grunge era of the early 90's, the group consists entirely of girls. Girls that rock! They getting some airplay on MTV with the song “Bruise Violet” which appeared in Beavis and Butthead at one point. What we have is a thick slab of beefed up riffs dripping with grungy goodness in the saucy guitar tones and some awesome singing from lead singer Kat Bjelland who has a snarling, aggressive voice which carries across a vision of a very "dominant female". She's quite attractive. The best thing about Fontanelle is that this group makes use of simple songwriting to create effective music. Most of the lyrics of this album seem to deal with jilted love, female jealousy etc but the overall tone of the album is pretty cool it's some good grunge music: just with a female touch.
