The Gits played music that was deeply emotional but was also loud, muscular, and utterly fearless, and it's not hard to imagine that given time they would have made the same impression nationwide that they did in their hometown of Seattle, where they were a popular and deeply respected band at a time when the city was enjoying its short-lived status as Rock Capitol of the    [ read more ]
