The Muffs (1993)
After the Pandoras went through their hard-rock phase and eventually split up, Kim Shattuck and Melanie Vammen teamed up with bassist Ronnie Barnett and drummer (ex-Vains, from Seattle) Criss Crass. After a few indie singles they were scooped up by Warners in the post-Nirvana feeding frenzy. Their debut album is a mix of pop, punk and ballads with even a couple dashes of hardcore madness. Melanie and Criss left the band after this record, Kim and Ronnie shacked up with drummer Roy McDonald and made several more records. They may or may not be together these days, but they do have a website.
