Babes In Toyland: Kat Bjelland (guitar, vocals); Michelle Leon (bass); Lori Barbero (drums, vocals). Recorded at Reciprocal Studio, Seattle, Washington. All songs written by Babes In Toyland. Before the terms "grunge" and "riot grrl" entered the pop-culture lexicon during the early 1990s, the Minneapolis all-female trio of Babes in Toyland incorporated trademarks of both into its fierce, punk-inspired sound, which was first unveiled on '89's SPANKING MACHINE. Fronted by singer/guitarist Kat Bjelland, who often dressed like a mangled baby doll, the group was unapologetically noisy and vulgar, as the barbed opener, "Swamp Pussy," and the violent "Vomit Heart" clearly reveal. Helmed by the revered Seattle-based producer Jack Endino, who worked on Nirvana's BLEACH the same year, MACHINE retained the punch of Babes in Toyland's live performances, and established Bjelland and company as a force to be reckoned with, particularly on pounding tracks such as "Lashes" and "Dust Cake Boy." Although arguably topped by Babes in Toyland's '92 major-label debut, FONTANELLE, SPANKING MACHINE placed the band loudly on the musical map.
