Self Defense For Women And Girls\u003c\/em\u003e compilation on Candy-Ass Records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe final four tracks document the late 1990s incarnation of Team Dresch following Kaia Wilson's departure, including the powerful \"It's A Conversation\" from a Sub Pop split 7\" with Longstocking, two true-to-form rockers from the \u003cem\u003eNew Team Dresch V 6.0 Beta\u003c\/em\u003e 7\" on Outpunk, and the band's final studio recording \"Temporary Insurance\" from a 2000 split with The Automaticans on Mental Monkey Records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAs annotator Andrew Earles writes, that this music was made approximately a quarter century ago is an astonishing thing to wrap one's head around. That it went somewhat overlooked in its day is not surprising, given that it was probably a little too ahead of its time. It resonates as deeply today as it ever has.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl [Pink]","offer_id":47293667246242,"sku":null,"price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/5024\/3490\/files\/3804135-2568817.jpg?v=1780001820","url":"https:\/\/staticatx.com\/products\/team-dresch-choices-chances-changes","provider":"Static ATX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
