Spitboy - Rasana

Review by John Hattaway

Rasana, the fourth and final album by the all-female punk band Spitboy, is a powerful and politically charged work that showcases the band's signature blend of raw energy and thoughtful lyrics. Released in 1994, the album tackles issues such as sexism, racism, and homophobia with a fierce sense of urgency and a punk-rock attitude.

The opening track, "Ultimate Violations," sets the tone for the album with its driving rhythm and incendiary lyrics about the abuse of power and the need for resistance. Other standout tracks include "The Threat," which addresses the persistence of sexual harassment and assault, and "In Your Face," which confronts white supremacy and police brutality.

Throughout the album, Spitboy's musicianship is top-notch, with drummer Michelle Gonzales providing a steady foundation for the band's fast-paced and aggressive sound. Guitarist Karin Gembus and bassist Dominique Davison add layers of texture and melody to the songs, while vocalist Adrienne Droogas delivers her lyrics with a raw and passionate intensity.

Scene Support is meant to give something special to all the parts of the scene that keep us going: fans, labels, stores, mailorders, and distros. Each piece of our puzzle is important.
