Does anyone know any good female Rock Groups?
 

Rock, Alternative Rock, Grunge?
Because I cant find any decent groups at all

Tsunami Bomb
The Eyeliners
The Soviettes

... are all terrible bands that sound exactly alike, but they're pretty much all you'll find in the way of "Pseudo-mainstream pop-punk girl" bands.

...so why would I want to know about them?
lol :-P

Garbage kicks arse. Their lead singer is a woman.

Splashdown also kicks arse. Their lead singer is a woman. Dunno about the rest of the band.

Ehm... that's all I can think of off the top of my head. How sad. *goes to look for images of Splashdown*

The only one I can think of is Hole. Courtney Love is the lead singer. That's Grunge-ish. I don't really like them, but whatevah.

The Distillers. The classic punk theme is nice, even if they're probably manufactured commercial crap.

Ash has a female guitarist.

What does it matter what gender the band is anyway?

It dosnt really.
It'd just be nice to hear at least 1 female voice on my MP3 player that isnt being prank called by the jerky boys.

I hear Kitty are supposed to be quite good.

Nah Kitty blow. They used to be awesome but then along came Slipknot, whom they attempted to copy, and their style just went downhill at a million miles per hour. Not because Slipknot suck, but because Kitty weren't doing what they did best anymore.

Due to certain events in my social life, I dont think I can tell my friends that there is a band in my collection called Kitty. :-P
(Dont ask)

Toy Dolls

The only thing i like about the distillers is brodie ;)

Garbage.

Garbage. Garbage. Garbage. Garbage. Garbage. Garbage. Garbage. Garbage. Garbage. Garbage. Garbage. Garbage. Garbage. Garbage. Garbage. Garbage. Garbage. Garbage. Garbage. Garbage. Garbage. Garbage. Garbage. Garbage. Garbage. Garbage. Garbage. Garbage. Garbage. Garbage. Garbage. Garbage. Garbage. Garbage. Garbage. Garbage.

Did I mention: Garbage?

They SO rock!

Alcar...

Homg u spamma. :p :D

Yeah, I've heard them on the radio. There's a new one they keep playing called "Why do you love me?" It's not my favorite song, it sounds like some re-animated 80's song.

Uh, I may be wrong, forgive me if I am, but I don't believe the Toy Dolls have ever had a female member...

The only bands I could have said in this thread have already been mentioned by Luke--Tsunami Bomb and the Soviettes. I'm pretty familiar with Tsunami, and I think they're pretty okay, at least worthy of putting on an mp3 player for the sake of having some female vocals for a change to listen to. As for the Soviettes, I've only heard one song, which I like. However, they do sound extremely similar to Tsunami Bomb.

Oh, there's the Donnas or something like that. I completely hate them, but who knows, you could like them.

That song sucks. Majorly. I mean, how many fcuking time do you have to say "Why do you love me?". Jeez. :O

I don't know about any good female rock bands, but Laurie Anderson is rather good. No sexism intended, but I just haven't found any great female rock bands. Evanescence are ok, but they're just an American, Christian Within Temptation. Wait, Within Temptation are good...

there aren't very many all-girl bands that are very good.


not for lack of talent, just lack of trying.





but bands that include girls as prominent members that are good include:


the lapse
all natural lemon & lime flavors
my bloody valentine
stars
the arcade fire
adult.
a silver mt. zion/godspeed you! black emperor
black cat#13/femme fatale/the sick lipstick
fisticuffs bluff

sonic youth
teenage jesus & the jerks
lydia lunch

hannah marcus
elizabeth anka vajagic
peaches



there are a lot more.

Please god. Please god, don't let anyone ever refer to Kitty as being or having ever been good.

Please god.

Veruca Salt, I think, was composed almost entirely of women. They weren't... terrible. They had a certain style that you might find appealing, or you might not. I think one or two of them are in The Breeders now, judging by the voices. The Breeders completely suck ass.

Well, to me, "Good Girl Bands" is an oxymoron....

....But that is just me.

99.9 percent of the time I have to agree with you.

Hole.
L7.
Chicks on Speed.

I don't care if any of you aleady mentioned any of these bands.

Hole? Really?

Why would you want to listen to woman singers? Don't you get enough of women in real life?
/guy singers PWN
//girl singers aren't half as good.
///4 Hole mentions but no shout-out for Heart. I'm tryin',tryin',tryin' to understand, but I just CAaAAANT.

I've recently discovered a Japanese, all girl band that I absolutely adore: Shonen Knife. They have basically the exact bubblegum-punk sound and style of lyrics as the Ramones. Heck, they've even done a cover of "I wanna be sedated". Also, they used the tune of "Blitzkrieg Bop" for a song they made for the PowerPuff Girls soundtrack.

Warning: Some songs may be a bit too cute. But if you like the Ramones, check them out.
