First Listen: The Julie Ruin, 'Run Fast' : NPR

The Julie Ruin returns Kathleen Hanna (of Bikini Kill and Le Tigre) to her rightful place leading a noisy bunch of smart pleasure-seekers. Singing about sickness and recovery, dumb nightlife and life-changing community, Hanna helps listeners better understand punk's past and future.

I am so proud of this record....

so many thoughts about Whitney Houston.  I sincerely thought this song was brilliant.  I wanted a happy ending to her story...

The Julie Ruin

I have been working so hard with my band  these last few weeks on getting all our songs ready for a final mix.  I just thought in my mind right now  how fucking blessed i am to be able to sit in a room with Kathleen Hanna, Kathi Wilcox, Carmine Covelli and Sara Landau and make this music.  And at some point soon, you all will be able to hear it.  I feel like for years I was a live artist; performing almost nightly and the little recorded output that is out there of those years is such a small part of what I cherished about that time.  Listening to the mixes of the songs for The Julie Ruin's upcoming album makes me proud and stuff!  leaving a legacy.
