    I love rock bands with women on the vocals. I like Dead Sara, The Pretty Reckless, Halestorm, The Beaches, The Warning, In This Moment, Metric, The Interrupters, Larkin Poe. Lots more but that’s a good sample.

    What other bands/artists might I like?

    Edit: thank you everyone for the recommendations! I have so much new stuff to listen to!

      Have you tried venturing more towards the metal side like…

      • Lacuna Coil
      • After Forever
      • A Sound of Thunder (probably more rock)
      • Arch Enemy
      • Epica
      • Unleash the Archers

        I’ve seen Epica live, unfortunately whoever was on sound that day really fucked it up.

        I’ve seen Arch Enemy too, with good sound, but I would trade that experience to see Lacuna Coil… I know they are popular but I still feel like they are massively underappreciated.

        Haha yes, although it feels a bit weird thinking of her that way considering most fans of the band have seen her boobs at this point lol

      I would like to ask a similar question:

      I very much like the “the beauty and the beast” - styled metal. That’s at least what I read online sometime what it’s called.

      The mix of a male voice growling and a female voice singing melodic kinda does it for me, but so far I had very little luck finding stuff that fits, actually just a few songs.

      Any recommendations?

        A lot of symphonic metal bands are like that. On the top of my head, you could check out Nightwish, Within Temptation, Epica and Unleash the Archers.

        I’m sure Epica has that aspect, but I would instead recommend … The Project Hate MCMXCIX!!!

        Pretty much all of it is exactly as described, aggressive male, melodic female. They are excellent.

        Sorry, here’s a Spotify link, couldn’t find this track on youtube

        https://open.spotify.com/track/5yKIKRcUAlSW6H1JFdZIF1?si=8d9c960d206e4820

        Oh man, I had forgotten about these guys, they are freakin excellent. The track name is ‘At the Entrance of Hell’s Unholy Fire’

          Just their early stuff - self-titled debut, Velvet Darkness They Fear, A Rose for the Dead, Aegis. The stuff afterwards isn’t bad, but it’s not the same genre.

        There are a few songs around with Max Cavalera (Sepultura, Soulfly) and Maria Brink (In This Moment). Not at home at the moment, can’t check my collection, but if you can find them, they’re probably the sort of thing you like.

      Well, you’re in luck because we are living in basically the platinum age of women fronting cool rock bands.

      Just off the top of my head:

      Bones UK, Sniffany and the Nits, Cable Ties, Amyl and the Sniffers, Mod Con, Waax, Gutter Girls, Flagipanis, Panic Shack, Tiger Pussy, The Hellfreaks, The Darts, The Creepshow, The Spookshow, Zombina and the Skeletones, Bat Fangs, La Butcherettes, The Death Valley Girls, Sleater Kinney, The Veleteers, The Julie Ruin, The Bobby Lees, The Coathangers, The Regrettes, The Pink Slips, The Blushes, Bratmobile, LA Machina, Scrunchies, Skating Polly, and The Nova Twins.

      I could dig up more if I start scrolling through my playlists, but there are tons of women out there right now making great music. Seems like every time I turn around there’s some cool new thing.

      I’m on a Tulip binge right now.

      Her voice is amazing. Give a few songs a listen and you’ll be hooked!

      Midnight in the Desert remastered, Bird set free and Dimensional Rift unplugged are great

      I’ll go a bit more into my niche. Might not be what you’re looking for but it’s all female or female fronted rock in a broader sense. Genres here are Stoner, Doom and Death metal.

      Blackwater Holylight
      L.A. Witch
      Hippie Death Cult
      Brutus
      Archenemy

            The benefit of living in NYC (I recently moved after living there for nearly 25 years)! I remember one show where they didn’t have a full band and Oren played drums and guitar at the same time. The space in their music allows for that sort of thing, but it still was pretty cool to see.

              I liked them a lot before I read this. Now I like them even more (:

              I remember getting their newsletter where they would regularly announce live shows in NYC. It’s nice having live music on tap like that.

      A few great ones come to mind but they’re a bit more punky than your examples. Like I’m thinking of The Muffs, who are fucking kickass!!!

      Halocene, she does a bunch of covers of old rock songs from around the early 2000s. It’s like fresh nostalgia straight into my ears. Her original stuff is also pretty good :)

        I really liked the song Demons after hearing it on Netflix’s Jessica Jones. But I looked into their other stuff and it felt a bit less my style. Maybe I should give them another go…

      There are a lot of Asian female fronted rock bands, like BabyMetal, Lovebites, Gacharic Spin and Asterism. EDIT: also Hanabie.
