Sexpod was an American punk rock band made up of three women from Hoboken, New Jersey:[1] vocalist and guitarist Karyn Kuhl, bassist Alice Genese, and drummer Tia Sprocket.[2] One reviewer identified the band with the riot grrrl movement and lesbianism, saying "they're not playing cookie-cutter punk rock for kids who think it started with Green Day."[3] A critic described their appearance as "defiant women who wear their love of making heavy loud noise like a badge of honor."[4]
The band never achieved mainstream success. They played at the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival in the 1990s.[5] Their song Foot on the Gas was used in the film Escape from L.A.
Drummer Tia Sprocket left the band in 1998, and Karyn Kuhl left by 2004, dissolving Sexpod.[6]
