Typical Girls: Women in Punk/Post-Punk/Underground Music (Circa 1975-1980s)

for some reason when i think of YMG i think Twee pop..

so i think of The Vaselines from Scotland

and early Beat Happening when Heather takes the microphone...

and even some of the Flying Lizards tracks

which leads me to Snatch/Judy Nylon and the NY Noise comps.. buy all 3!

ok as for Antena.. i think of Allez Allez who were led by Sarah
Gregory (Repetition, Marine)
again i only have the African Queen LP but some of their tracks are on
the Marine "Life in Reverse" compliation:
