Dickless was a Seattle-based grunge band[3][4] signed to Sub Pop records in 1990.[citation needed] Dickless is notable for their unique raspy/screamy vocal style.[5][6] During their first few years, their loud and abrasive sound was new and unusual for an all-female music group. Simultaneously, their short discography included song titles and a song cover, "I'm a Man" by Bo Diddley, that were blatantly ironic given their abrasive sound and female members.[7] The band name itself is meant to be satire.[8] The group's period of activity coincided with the emerging "Riot grrrl" music culture.[9]
