Female Punk Singers (lead singer, fan, tune, quote, band)

^distillers stuff on epitaph is so much better than the new stuff. im surprised no one has made the courtney love comparison yet (which is good thing)

but my all time fav is kathleen hanna from bikini kill- they are my all time fav girl-fronted punk group. im telling you, you gotta check out Le Tigre- it's very melodic, pop/dance feminist punk. brody does not compare to hanna in my opinion

What is this with girls not being able to play adn bands and whatnot. this has gotta be the stupidest thing I've heard thus far involving this topic.
For starters whether punk chics suck or not at singing at least we always sound our gender unlike guys in 'punk bands' that have whiney voices and sound like girls or like they have every intention of avoiding puberty for as long as possible.
Groups like Simple Plan and what not.

At any rate, groups like Auf De Maur (although that ins't punk but is female lead) and the Distillers, No Doubt, Joan Jett for sure, Pat Benatar, The Rain Coats, Garbage and a ton of others.

Peace out

^ the raincoats were awesome. them and the slits were def legendary bands from back when.

auf der maur is alright too, but i wish they did more songs in french.

in general though, i like female fronted punk groups better. i dunno who originally made this thread, but i dont agree with him/her.

my favs (still playing right now): Le Tigre, Tsunami Bomb, Sahara Hotnights, F-Minus, Devotchkas

i thought the devotchkas had broken up

Oi_To_The_World · 12-14-2004, 06:46 PM

^im pretty sure they still together. their last album i think was annihilation, i dunno if they came out wit more stuff after. either way, they're great. they remind of the casualties if they were chicks

jesus · 12-14-2004, 08:44 PM

i've heard a lot of people say they remind them of the casualties and it's weird cause i don't think they'd sound like them at all. on punkcore.com i think it said something like they won't be touring or something anytime soon so i'm just guessing its because they've split up for some reason and they might get back together again? I've read stuff about them splitting up off and on..so i have no idea. I really like them though. I wish i could have perfect hair like them too

Oi_To_The_World · 12-14-2004, 08:56 PM

^ they might have split and come back together, in fact i think they might have a new lead singer. but, im not sure. i went to punkcore and couldnt find any info.
and yeah, the devotchkas girls are sexy as hell; those mohawks prob take hours to prep.

Add AFI to the sound your gender list. The first time i heard them i thought the singer was a Woman. I thought she sounded hot boy was i ever disturbed
to find out she was a he.

Oi_To_The_World · 12-14-2004, 09:46 PM

yeah AFI looks like a bunch of she's too. should we just say they're a girl band for the f*ck of it. might as well, i dont think anyone would mind.
