This LP was the first installment in the underground label Mystic Records “The Sound Of Hollywood” series which documented underground bands in L.A. and this edition focused on female-fronted groups, dominated by punk acts shows this pretty record cool female bands from the west coast. "As the title indicates, this album consists of bands from greater LA with a prominent female component. Musically, it's a mixed bag of styles ranging from punk (SIN 34, DE DE TROIT) to garage (I.U.D.) to various forms of pop (the L.A. GIRLS, TOXIC FUMES, the SKIRTS, HOT FOOD TO GO) to warpo country (the SCREAMIN' SIRENS) to awful hard rock and heavy metal (BUTCH, HELLION, BITCH are awesome, SOLOMAN KANE). No one will like it all; the question is whether you'll like enough of it to make it worth buying." - Jeff Bale (from Maximum Rocknroll #10, December 1983)
