About the album

Bikini Kill recorded Reject All American in November 1995 with producer John Goodmanson, and it came out the following April on Kill Rock Stars. By then Kathleen Hanna, Tobi Vail, Kathi Wilcox and Billy Karren had spent five years at the centre of riot grrrl, and this was the sound of a band at full power: tight, fast and sharper than ever.

Entertainment Weekly's David Browne called it "28 wonderfully concentrated minutes of unrelenting punk", and that's about right. "Statement Of Vindication", "R.I.P." and the title track tear past, there's room for a song about Tony Randall, and Karren adds a little trumpet along the way. It was the band's last album, which makes it the end of a chapter rather than a full stop. Twenty-eight minutes, by our count, is precisely as long as an argument should last.
