The Real Janelle is an EP by Bratmobile, released in 1994.[6][7] It would become Bratmobile's last studio recording in six years. Though released before The Peel Session, that was recorded a year prior.
The title "The Real Janelle" was inspired by a Born Against song written by Ben Weasel of Screeching Weasel.[8] The Born Against song and The Real Janelle reference Janelle Hessig, a former Bratmobile roadie and East Bay fanzine creator known for producing "Tales of Blarg" and "Desperate Times." The photo on the cover of the EP is of Hessig.[9]
