Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Pretty on the Inside" in English language version.
Hole's debut album, originally released by Caroline in 1991, was produced by Kim Gordon and Gumball frontman Don Fleming. Pretty On The Inside was named Album of the Year by The Village Voice and the only single released, "Teenage Whore," entered the U.K. indie charts at #1. Graphic lyrics, distorted guitar riffs, screaming vocals and messy punk ethics all helped establish Courtney Love's long running cult status. Here on 180 gram vinyl.
I was 17 when I first heard it. I definitely think they had a huge role in that. For me, the thing that I loved about them and her was the anger, and aggressiveness, along with the tender side. That was something I hadn't seen before in a woman playing music. That was hugely influential and really inspiring. Women up 'til then were kind of one-dimensional, twee, sweet, ethereal, and that annoys the shit out of me.
I was competing with my few peers at the time, the people that were really into Sonic Youth and Pussy Galore and Richard Kern, and I felt really intimidated by that.
It's a lot of violent stuff on top, but there's a lot of melody underneath it. You know, we made this record, and all of sudden people are like, "It's so extreme, it's so violent", but we didn't really know. We just thought we were making a pop record with an edge ... we live in LA, the metal capital, so there's really nobody that relates to us.
