January 31 street date. Remastered reissue of The Gits' 1992 debut album "Frenching The Bully", which has been out of print on physical formats for years. The Gits were an iconic Seattle punk band that left an indelible mark on the underground rock scene between 1990 and 1993, when they disbanded following the tragic murder of singer Mia Zapata. Zapata was the greatest rock singer of her time and may have likely been the greatest blues singer in punk rock history, the woman who married the 78 and the '78. Tragedy did not make this true. Mia Zapata made this true, and the ferocious, spring-loaded shrapnel frame that was built around her by Andy Kessler, Matt Dresdner, and Steve Moriarty - who, with Mia, combined to form The Gits - made it true. The Gits put out three EPs in 1990-1991 before signing with C/Z Records and releasing their first full-length album, "Frenching The Bully" in 1992. Seattle embraced the Gits' blend of ferocious fangs and soft heart, the slug/slap of the guitars, and the gorgeous, soft underbelly of the poetic emotions. These qualities not only fit in with the doe-eyed/sharp-clawed grunge ethos but earned The Gits the respect of their peers.
