Salem 66
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Salem 66 was an indie group formed in 1982 by Judy Grunwald, Elisabeth Kaplan and Susan Merriam. At the time a serious all female rock band was somewhat unusual. They lasted until 1989 and were an important part of the Boston alternative indie music scene during the 1980s. They recorded and released records on the Homestead records label that was founded by Gerard Cosley. Their music was described as folk punk, but they could be called jangle pop and a loose association can be made with groups such as R.E.M.
