Released in 2004, the Dionysus Records collection “We Ain’t Housewife Material: An International Collection of All Girl Punk, Rock and Garage” is a fun romp through estrogen-fueled rock and roll from all over the globe. My favorites include the retro, ’60s-inspired sounds of Japan’s Flowermulu and the fun rock by Elvis McMan from the U.S. Another band from Japan, The Soap, has an awesome frenetic track with a little bit of cool creepiness to it (in the same fun way that the Cramps are creepy), punctuated by screams. It runs the gamut from rock to garage to even a little bit of groovy art rock. Girls Rock!
