Team Dresch - Personal Best

Team Dresch were Donna Dresch, Jody Bleyle, Kaia Wilson and Marcéo Martinez, and combining the brazenness of riot grrrl with the angst dirge of grunge, as well as indie-pop heart-thrills, they didn’t just raise the stakes of queercore in the mid-nineties, they created two near-perfect albums about longing, freedom, and belonging over guitar riffs as epic and intense as their poetic couplets. 
 
Originally released in 1995 on Chainsaw/Candy Ass Records, their debut album, Personal Best, roils with political rage, ecstatic love, familial worry, defiant joy. It is a call to arms for an army of lovers. To paraphrase their own song, they are amazing; their words save us. 

"Team Dresch should make every "best band" list, for ever" - Corin Tucker (Sleater-Kinney)
