Paper Doll is an anthology compilation that highlights the work of Pacific NW punk queen and Medway Beat adjacent artist and musician, Sister Tiffany Lee Linnes.
Girlsville has hand selected favorites from her catalog spanning the past 20 years, including: The Stuck-Ups, Royal Pains, The Buffets, The Paper Dolls and The kILLER dILLERS. The set includes 3 previously unreleased selections. 2 from Paper Dolls, and 1 from Royal Pains.
The Stuck-Ups were a Seattle band that started around the turn of the century. They released two long players for Sympathy For The Record Industry, and a smattering of singles on various labels like Jonny Cat. The early stuff was influenced by UK77 bands like The Sick Things, combined with some Rip Off Records-style snot ala The Spoiled Brats.
The first iteration of the band was Tiffany (Guitar/Vox), Julie (Drums/Vox), and Jasmine (Bass/Vox). After a lineup shake up, the second iteration of the band had more New Wave leanings. Tiffany (Guitar/Vox) was joined by Meredith (Bass), Nora (Keys), and Justin (Drums). Side B includes the entirety of their side of a split 12″ with The Nasties that was released on now defunct UK label, Squirrel Records.
