Kitten Forever

Kitten Forever is a Minneapolis-based feminist punk trio.[1] The all-woman band formed in June 2006[2] and includes Corrie Harrigan, Laura Larson, and Liz Elton. Reviler described them as a trio who "collapse pop melodies underneath fuzzy, broken-speaker bass and chaotic drumming, all held together by glue and safety pins vocals that bring to mind the kinetic energy and art-punk attitude of Karen O."[3]
