Think “women’s music” means either thin-voiced Lilith waifs and their acoustic guitars, or their unacknowledged forbears, those earnest acts your lesbian aunt adored? Think again. A collection of acts from the independent label, The New Women’s Music Sampler, this genre-busting disc draws heavily from the punk and thrash girl-garage tradition instead, giving us a more boisterous view of “women’s music” than we’re used to. And that’s a welcome thing.
