Black Lips are a garage punk band from Atlanta, Georgia. They formed in 1999 and have released 5 studio albums.

El Toro are a garage punk band from Liverpool who formed in 2009. I've played some shows with this band but still don't know much about them. One member also plays in Zombina & the Skeletones.
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!
