HOLE (band)

Hole was an American alternative rock 'n' roll (rock and roll) band from 1989 to 2012. The band was formed by Courtney Love and Eric Erlandson, and had a revolving line-up of bassists and drummers. Hole has been noted for being one of the most commercially successful female-fronted rock 'n' roll (rock and roll) bands of all time, selling over three million records in the United States alone and having a far-reaching influence on contemporary female artists. Music and feminist scholars have also recognized the band as the most high-profile musical group of the 1990s to discuss feminist issues in their songs, due to Love's aggressive and violent lyrical content, which often addressed themes of body image, abuse, and sexual exploitation. Some of their works include: Pretty on the Inside, Celebrity Skin and Live Through This
