Period Pains were a British alternative rock band formed in 1997. They achieved notoriety in 1997 after releasing the single "Spice Girls (Who Do You Think You Are?)", a play on the Spice Girls single title. The track was an attack on what they saw as the Spice Girls' shallow attitudes, and was heavily plugged by John Peel and Steve Lamacq on BBC Radio 1. The UK's tabloid newspapers also picked up on the band [ [http://www.mute.com/artists/publicArtistLoad.do?id=31357&forward=longBio "Tabloid frenzy..."] Mute records, retrieved on 2008-08-05] As a result, it made the UK Top 100 Singles Chart with practically no advertising, [ [http://damagedgoods.greedbag.com/buy/spice-girls-who-do-you-think-you/ Spice Girls single] Damaged Goods Records, retrieved on 2008-08-05] and reached No.4 in Peel's annual end-of-year Festive Fifty.
