Heavenly, Atta Girl
1993 | Label: Sarah Records / Virtual

This brief, brilliant EP (also released as P.U.N.K. Girl) is the peak of Heavenly’s recorded career: five peppy, angry songs about girl culture, punk culture, and the forces that can wreck punk girls. (The peppiest, “Hearts and Crosses,” concerns date rape.) “Atta Girl” is a frantic breakup song, with Cathy Rogers and Amelia Fletcher unleashing torrents of longing and loathing at each other; the title track is a tribute to a girl who’s “honest and kind, but in a way that people see as telling lies and being mean.”

completely the same as "PUNK Girl"

soeren

...which is also featured on emusic. Don't download them both. But you figured that out already, I hope. Anyways, it's a great little record, Atta Girl being a great feminist-flavoured indie rock song about a love relationship that is going down the tube... The songs here are not as sweet natured as the regular Heavenly discography. If you want something that makes you smile, go get the debut, Heavenly vs. Satan.
