Babes in Toyland was one of the most influential and underrated
bands of the 1990s. They rode the wave of the Minneapolis grunge
scene crafting a unique sound composed of self-taught
instrumentation and unabashed banshee raging vocals. Their stage
presence was enigmatic, their lyrics vitriolic, and their
Kinderwhore fashion ironic and easy to emulate. But what made them
most inspiring was their ethos and a unique brand of sisterhood
that inspired fans to create Riot Grrl and form legendary bands
such as 7 year Bitch, Bikini Kill, and Hole. Despite the media's
politicization of them as an "all-female" band, the Babes insisted
their music wasn't a political statement but about personal
expression. They would dismiss labeling their act as feminist, but
their actions sent a positive message of what a female space within
music could look like. Now, almost 30 years after their most
seminal record, Fontanelle, was released, the legend of the band is
being resurrected and re-spun to reclaim their proper space and
context in the history of music and women in rock.
