Five punk chicks that do Black Flag/Reagan Youth/Erase Errata influenced 'power pop'.

Mika Miko is an underground youth punk / noise band formed in 2003 in Los Angeles, featuring Jennifer Clavin, Jenna Thornhill, Michelle Suarez, Jessica Clavin and Kate Hall. Pounding their way through interesting, fast, pop songs that recall Black Flag, X-Ray Spex, The Slits or The Germs with a fresh flare of anxiousness, they've gained a rabid local following for their frenetic live performances which emulate being at a party and often take place at parties. After several self-releases and an eponymous 7" for NO AGE's Post Present Medium imprint, Mika Miko put out their first full-length 'C.Y.S.L.A.B.F' in the summer of 2006 - a joint release by PPM, Kill Rock Stars and Deleted Art. Entrenched in LA's DIY scene, the band volunteer at legendary all-ages club The Smell.
