Bratmobile/Tiger Trap "split" 7 inch (Four Letter Words/1992)

What a great documentation of two very influential 90s bands coming together for a split one record. I feel like every knows about or should know about these bands. Bratmobile helped spearhead the riot grrrl movement and the song they contribute to this split is an early version of the song "Throwaway" which was re-recorded for their 1992 album Pottymouth. Meanwhile, the Sacramento based Tiger Trap's offering as earlier, more lo fi version of the indie pop classic tune "Words & Smiles" which was later re-recorded for the self titled debut on K Records. The most noticeable difference about this version of "Words & Smiles" is that the bridge is played completely different, as opposed to a cascading build  there is more of a pick me up vibe. Chances are you know these bands and songs but just not these versions. Enjoy!
