2. Wimps were a punk rock band in Olympia in the early 80s, founded by musical visionary Curt Homan. They weren't as hardcore as some of the bands, but they had their moments. The pre-dated, and influenced, Nirvana's punk-pop sound. "Teen Spirit" in particular was influenced by "You Should Just Go To Your Church And I'll Go To MIne." Every 15 years or so they play live, whenever the old Tropicana building becomes available.
3. Swedish all-female punk rock band in the early 2000's.
