Pure and Simple
Tracks: Pure And Simple contains all original Jett material that only reassures her title as the 'Queen of Rock 'N Roll.' The cassette version of the album features a bonus track, "Hostility," co-written with Donita Sparks of L7. The limited-edition vinyl album also includes "Hostility," as well as "Here To Stay," co-written and performed with Kat Bjelland of Babes In Toyland, which is available nowhere else. "We did it for fun," Joan stated. "The compact disc has the two ballads on it, the vinyl has no ballads and the extra track that I wrote with Kat. We wanted to give everybody an extra song on the cassette, plus by adding the track "Hostility" it insured that the two sides were even on a time level." "The song "Here To Stay" was written with Kat and it worked out great. She also came in the studio and played some pretty wacky guitar. That was a lot of fun. We really had a good time recording this album." - Joan Jett

Angelica
Tracks: "The Seven-Year Itch, produced by Kat Bjelland from Babes In Toyland. It’s the sound of a band who, to be blunt, were mad as hell and were not going to take it anymore. Away with the glockenspiels, and in comes ‘Golden Lilies’, a thirty-second screech-fest, with the refrain “Pin her down or pin her up/All she’s good for is a fuck,” which ends with all of them yelling “FUCK” very loudly." The Seven Year Itch was largely ignored by the media. Angelica continued playing shows, including a blinding set at the London Ladyfest in the summer of 2002. Their website hasn’t been updated since then, aside from a notice that their gig in Lancaster on September 14th 2002 would be their last for a while. Apparently they did split, some gone to university, some in other bands, some… who knows. But they need remembering. It’d be difficult to argue they changed anything, certainly. But that doesn’t matter. Angelica were far, far too good to be forgotten. The song Golden Lilies can be downloaded from the sounds section of Katbjelland.com
Jakalope
Tracks: Jakalope is a Canadian industrial supergroup. They are named for a fictional animal, although the animal's name is more commonly spelled jackalope. The band was formed in 2003 by noted Canadian industrial musician Dave Ogilvie. The core members of the band include Anthony Valcic, Katie B, Don Harrison, Don Binns and Don Short. (Harrison, Binns and Short, nicknamed "The Three Dons", are all former members of the band Sons of Freedom.) The band also collaborated with a number of guest musicians, including Trent Reznor, Kat Bjelland and members of Sloan, Monster Magnet and Malhavoc. Their debut album, It Dreams, was released in 2004, and spawned the hit single "Pretty Life". The cover art for this album received the Juno Award for Best CD/DVD Artwork Design of the Year in 2005, and was designed by artist Vincent Marcone.

Melvins
Tracks: "The album begins with “They All Must Be Slaughtered,” eight minutes-plus of eerie, reverb-drenched guitars and the haunting backing vocals of Kat Bjelland of Babes In Toyland. This is not the Melvins you used to know, folks. Unlike their attempts at a similar sound on Stag, “They All Must Be Slaughtered” seems like serious art, a genuinely moody piece of Pink Floyd-ish psychedelia." - The Online Daily
