Raooul

Jail-Bait Core

Raooul were from the East Bay of California and played fast screechy punk. All i know is they formed, played some shows they weren't supposed to, and broke up too soon. This release is part off the split LP with Skinned Teen's Bazooka Smooth.

Skinned Teen


Bazooka Smooth!

Skinned teen were three teenage girls from London who formed after a Bikini Kill show where Skinned Teen had approached Kathleen Hanna and told her they were in a band. They weren't, and could barely play any instruments, but Kathleen offered them a show, so they wrote minimal garage punk songs with catchy rants and chants. This was part of a split release on Lookout! records with east bay punks Raooul. Funky stuff!
