Female Punk Vocalists

[The Owl]

I've searched the threads and only found this topic on the alternative section and that didn't quite satisfy my question. I'm a huge fan of Xray Spex, X, The Slits, The Avengers, The Plasmatics, etc. The pissed off and Johnny Rotten-esque females vocals are preferrable to me and I was wondering if you cats knew of any other punk rock groups that featured female vocalists of this nature.

thanks in advance.

[YoungNastyMan]

The Distillers

[punkpixie]

Cruiserweight.

[Carlo Marx]

The soviettes, sleater-kinney (not really punk but still awesome), sahara hotnights.

[MightCatchFire]

The Distillers indeed. Brody Dalle is quite the singer.

[saysmydoctor]

Tsunami Bomb is not punk, but they are all I can think of besides the Distillers.

Joan Jett? Some kids would consider punk...I'd consider her shit.

[YoungNastyMan]

It is possible to be shit and punk

[davez]

L7
f-minus
bratmobile
bikini kill
vice squad
nausea
babes in toyland
lunachicks
midnight creeps
ny relx
autoclave
naked aggression
i object
sonic youth

[Chris Fallon]

Joan Jett is not shit. Hardly. She is what inspired most of the whole riot grrls and everything. Name any female punk vocalist, and they have been influenced by Joan Jett in some way, guaranteed.

I have always enjoyed the Go-Go's (their early stuff is new wave punk) and Debbie Harry of Blondie (when she was hot and a good singer). Both of those bands took new wave punk and made it mainstream, but had powerful chops behind them.

[justbishop]

Go Betty Go, anyone? Not sure if they're considered punk, and I haven't heard anything from them since Nicolette left, but I like em.

[Czarsy]

whorehouse of representatives
Word. Forgot them.

[Groogz]

I'm not into many bands that are fronted by females but the few that I listen to are Tsunami Bomb, Dresden Dolls, Lacuna Coil, and Walls of Jericho (obviously not all punk bands but I'm just stating them anyways).

I guess Bikini Kill and Le Tigre are considered "riot grrl" or whatever, but I think anything Kathleen Hannah did was fantastic. Also, the Eyeliners, the Gits, Civet, Seven Year Bitch and L7 and someone mentioned Sleater-Kinney...also not considered "punk" i guess but completly underrated and over-looked.

[RyanDamage]

Conversions (not really "punk", but still awesome)


Really, I'd consider them to be a definite hardcore-punk band, one of the finest to be exact.

THE LAUNDERETTES.

[HoodieMonster]

I'd say Jemina Pearl of Be Your Own Pet has a great punk rock voice...loud, angry, a little hysterical even. She's punk through and through. And I like the band Civet, too. The lead singer's voice is like gravel.
