POLLY PUTS THE METTLE ON

Transcript of original interview with P. J. Harvey, March 1992, by Ngaire (SIREN music magazine). Can't believe Katie Chainsaw took precedent over Harvey for the front cover shot.

P J HARVEY has come on in astonishing leaps and bounds, like a flea circus from Mars. Two singles, and now the debut album are enough to catapult them above all other Emotional Terrorists into the glaring spotlight with the earliest contender for Album of the Year. In days of male-dominated journalistic wankstains, Siren continues its policy of trying to get women interviewed by women, and it works! Words: Ngaire Ruth. Pictures: Mary Scanlon
