The Age has an article about all-women bands in Melbourne. The girls are all right, it's headlined. Sub-heading: No gimmicks - Melbourne's all-women bands just want you to get into their music.
Ok. Fine. There's interviews with members of Killer Birds, The Spazzys and Super Wild Horses.
"We just happen to be female," [...] "We're not trying to make a social comment. People might think, 'They're just a girl band,' but once they have heard us they might not think that any more."
Great!
Except...
The article never once tells us what these bands sound like.
