Hole Artist Snapshot:

Hole was spearheaded by controversial lead singer Courtney Love; the band's harsh, punky debut, 1991's PRETTY ON THE INSIDE, was a cornerstone of the post-riot grrl scene. Then Love married Kurt Cobain, signed an enormous deal with Geffen Records, and delivered 1994's grungy LIVE THROUGH THIS, a record alternately loved and reviled. Following Cobain's death, Love began an image transformation that included a number of well-received film appearances and a more accessible sound.

Review

Spin (12/91) - Ranked #20 in Spin's list of the 20 Best Albums Of 1991.
Q (10/95, p.138) - 3 Stars - Good - "...this rock music is a genuinely uninhibited kind. From the opening `Teenage Whore' onwards, the howling confrontation doesn't let up. It's loud, ugly and deliberately shocking..."
Alternative Press (7/95, pp.95-96) - Rated #74 in AP's list of the `Top 99 Of '85-'95' - "...Speaking the truth about the irrevocable and easily-earned title of bad girl, Love works in extremes and wears that scarlet letter when she feels like it, and when she doesn't she rips it off, never neglecting melody and language as the real medium for her message..."
Melody Maker (12/91) - Ranked #13 in Melody Maker's list of the top 30 albums of 1991 - "...a relentlessly apposite hardcore grind.."

Title Note

Hole: Courtney Love (vocals, guitar); Eric Erlandson (guitar); Jill Emery (bass); Caroline Rue (drums).

Recorded at Musicbox Studios, Los Angeles, California.

Although Hole would eventually score major hits with more pop-accessible material (1994's LIVE THROUGH THIS and 1998's CELEBRITY SKIN), the band's early work, such as its 1991 debut, PRETTY ON THE INSIDE, was more raw and punk- and hardcore-based. Along with L7, Babes in Toyland, and Bikini Kill, Hole was part of the early-'90s "riot grrrl" movement, which merged abrasive music with feminist lyrics and served as a much-needed antidote to the party-hearty late-'80s glam metal scene. Co-produced by Sonic Youth bassist Kim Gordon and alternative knob twirler Don Fleming, PRETTY ON THE INSIDE was a venomous and cacophonous debut.

Although Courtney Love would eventually pen some of alternative rock's best-known songs of the '90s ("Doll Parts," "Celebrity Skin," etc.), she was still honing her craft on PRETTY ON THE INSIDE. Songs such as "Teenage Whore" were snarling confrontational rants, while such other frenzy-filled compositions as "Garbage Man," "Good Sister/Bad Sister," and the title track easily kept the rage at a boiling point. PRETTY ON THE INSIDE would be the one and only album to feature Hole's original lineup, which consisted of Love on vocals/guitar, Eric Erlandson on guitar, Jill Emery on bass, and Caroline Rue on drums.
