Any Knuckleheads out there lol.
Im going to see them for the 3rd time next month at Mayhem Festival!!!

im learning the alto saxophone, its been really fun to learn, and interesting finding out stuff about it and how it works. plus i think it looks beautiful. im sure there will soon be alot of saxophone inspired art and craft things from me appearing soon.

and the bassoon

plus thre baritone sax

what about the contrabass? or maybe the bass clarinet?
i've also noticed that no one has said percussion instuments yet.
and don't forget the oboe!

She's also going to be at the Edinburgh fringe this year if anyone is going! I've recently got into her music so I'm looking forward to seeing her.

oooh I forgot, Veruca Salt. Loved them in the late 90s!

Sammantha - I've been meaning to listen to Amanda Palmer as I've heard about her and so glad I did I've just been watching her TED talk and felt so inspired that I then started listening to her.

Libby: I totally agree with you on the new Paramore music. Their old style was so much more unique, and now they're losing their originality. I feel the same way about Evanescence, too. Of course, both bands have a few really good songs on their newer albums, but it's just not the same as their older stuff.

I've been listening to her for years. She's fantastic!

Hole, The Horrorpops, The Dresden Dolls and Amanda Palmer.

Oh and No Doubt of course.

My favourite female single is Janis Joplin. She has an incredible voice and songs as well!

More?? Doro Peach, the frontwoman of Warlock, Crucified Barbara, Vixen, Patti Smith, Susan Tedeschi (great guitarrist), and of course the women already mentioned.

Women Rock!

All these suggestions are great! I have heard of a couple of them. I do listen to a lot of paramore but I'm not so keen on their new stuff as well as Kenotia (not together anymore) and circa survive. Evanescence of course are classic. I stumbled onto Halestorm on spotify the otherday, by accident, I'll have to give them another listen.

@Hella I watched the runways film a couple of months ago and thought it was really cool. My cousin has Joan Jett's I love rock and roll on vinyl, from when she was a teen : )

@Mel I do quite like the yeah yeah yeahs. Do you ever listen to the subways? (Theres a girl in the band although I think the male frontman does quite a bit of the singing too). The joy formidable are also good, I saw them live in Jan. Defo will check out the rock string quartet.

I listen to so many male bands and singers I sometimes like get sick of boys moaning about girls or showing off, I just want listen to kick-ass female singers instead.

The Plasticines, The Runaways, The Blackhearts. I don't listen to many female rock bands actually.

Some of my favorite female-fronted rock bands are Evanescence, Paramore (closer to alternative but still really good), Flyleaf, Fireflight, and Halestorm. All of these bands have great music and amazing female lead singers. Hope I helped!
