It’s been twenty years this month since Kathleen Hanna, Tobi Vail and Kathy Wilcox AKA Bikini Kill last toured the UK with the new found intention of liberating girls through the punk scene.

Cited as a strong influence by nearly all major female groups and artists, from the Spice Girls to Beth Ditto, it’s hard to imagine the state of the music industry today if Riot Grrrl had never happened.

Twin takes a look back through the group’s live performances; bold, raw and the driving force behind what we know now as girl power.
