Newcastle-based neo-riot grrrl outfit Dinky Bosetti take their name – and perhaps some of their attitude – from Winona Ryder’s character in Welcome Home, Roxy Carmichael, which might be a clue to what they’re about. Their pop-punk/grunge sound (think The Replacements meets Babes In Toyland) comes with a heavy dose of queer politics and assaults on transphobia and empty gestures, as you can hear on their recent Pink, White & Blue EP. But this isn’t po-faced sloganeering – the melodies are as big as the message and their live shows are a ball of wild energy. (Lee Fisher)
