Editorial review
The most immediately obvious aspect of the Gits' debut album, Frenching the Bully, is Mia Zapata's righteous, feminist-tinged punk rage. Her songs wind their way through tales of deception, insecurity, failed relationships, and hard drinking, while her hoarse, husky voice supports the combination of toughness and vulnerability projected in her lyrics. Even if Zapata's meanings are occasionally a bit obscure, and even if a few songs seem to lack adequate melodicism, Frenching the Bully is an invigorating piece of punk rock. [The 2003 reissue on Broken Rekids is remixed by Jack Endino and adds "Spear and Magic Helmet" to tracklisting of the original album as well as eight songs recorded live in Portland taken from a June, 1993 show and the single version of "Twisting"] ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
THE GITS- Frenching the Bully is the first full length studio album put out by The Gits. It was first released in 1992 and followed by months of touring. It was received famously in music press on both sides of the Atlantic and had the music industry buzzing about this "new" Seattle upstart punk band.
This album is raw, intense, angry, tender and passionate.
It has been out of print since 1994 and after a ten year fight with the record label that put it out, The Gits have reclaimed rights to the album and their murdered singer, Mia Zapata's musical legacy. The album has been remixed and re-mastered by producer Jack Endino (Nirvana, Therapy?, Mudhoney, Supersuckers, Blue Cheer etc.) and 10 bonus live tracks have been added.
This was the album that started it all. Viva Zapata!
