Riot grrrl pioneers Bikini Kill are celebrating 1991's groundbreaking Revolution Girl Style Now demo with a reissue next month. It has been expanded to include three extra tracks, and one of these extra cuts has now been rolled out.
"Playground" is a heavy, grungy track with lumbering chords that recall the prevailing music trends of the early '90s in the Pacific Northwest. There are also some playground-style taunts along with "na-na na-na boo-boo"-style riffs and a speedy punk crescendo, with the sloppy sonics serving as a reminder that this was a demo rather than a polished recording. The tape runs out at the song's end, hence the abrupt finale.

Revolution Girl Style Now will be out on September 22 through the band's own Bikini Kill Records. It will be available on vinyl, CD or digital formats, with a cassette version exclusive to mail order.
