heavens to betsy was a 90s riot grrl outfit who were contemporaries with the likes of bikini kill, and sleater-kinney, but they were never as well known.
i was first introduced to them by a fucking video game i played two years ago called gone home, which was really good, you should play it. this song played at the end of the game, and made me a little sad.
that said, this BOP comes from their 1994 album, calculated, where it stands out as one of the slower songs on the lp. corin tucker brings some really sincere vocals to this track, which with the slow, solemn guitar riff bursts into emotionally exhaust(ed/ing) crescendos, with yelling!!! which drips with teen angst, and heartbreak. the refrain still haunts me honestly.
though they're a riot grrl band, this could very well be an early emo or emocore song from the 90s, like what you see from bands like still life, and everyone asked about you.
