Reviews: As the title indicates, this album consists of bands from greater LA with a prominent female component. Musically, it's a mixed bag of styles ranging from punk (SIN 34, DE DE TROIT) to garage (I.U.D.) to various forms of pop (the L.A. GIRLS, TOXIC FUMES, the SKIRTS, HOT FOOD TO GO) to warpo country (the SCREAMIN' SIRENS) to awful hard rock and heavy metal (BUTCH, HELLION, BITCH, SOLOMAN KANE). No one will like it all; the question is whether you'll like enough of it to make it worth buying. -Jeff Bale (from Maximum Rocknroll #10, December 1983)
