Sorry this has been so spread out. I have a new computer, my scanner isn't hooked up yet and I still have files related to this post in my old computer. None the less here is a little something to hold you over.

Discography
History : Linus actually have their own website telling their history in their own words. Yay!
Why I picked this band – They played with other Riot Grrrl bands of the day, Played RG related fests, were on RG comps, and their assorted record labels put out other RG associated bands. Their early records also had awesome RG fanzine quality to their packaging.
Style - From their website: “An amalgamation of influences such as X, Buzzcocks, The Partridge Family, and Gang of Four have made our music difficult to categorise. Let's just call it 'punk-pop', shall we?”
They don't sound much like their influences but you can check them out for yourself here .
