   Who is Mecca Normal?

   • Mecca Normal is a two-piece indie rock band from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, formed by Jean Smith and David Lester in 1984. Smith writes and performs in a style that is often considered confrontational and laced with feminist themes; Lester's melodic yet dissonant guitar swirls and loops around her vocals.

   Is Mecca Normal a good band?

   • Mecca Normal’s first album, initially released on its own label and sold at shows, offers an early glimpse of the band’s nascent sound. Recorded on a cassette 4-track, the songs are captured with a raw authenticity that renders some of them very difficult to listen to. (In this setting, Smith’s voice can be quite sharp.)

   Why is Mecca Normal so popular?
