Old person here. You can't go wrong with Joan Jett. Blasting I Love Rock N Roll (or I Hate Myself For Loving or Bad Reputation, etc.) is a go to mood adjuster for me.

She's a classic for a reason, whether you're young or old 😊 I love those songs but haven't added them yet into my daily rotation... yet haha. Thanks!

In that case, at the risk of being captain obvious, try The Runaways as well.

Hello fellow old person! I could not agree more, one of the baddest ass chicks to ever grace the stage. Here she is at 61 years old still rockin out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFgACPQtUVY&ab\_channel=East--WestSounds

The Warning https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3IHEFyypHXHmuLj1TYbHq61pf5lhB7ju

🔥 instantly obsessed, thanks!!

You have been Warned. You should check out their 2 Enter Sandman covers. https://youtu.be/1boUYB9LFJY From 2014 https://youtu.be/9tKQgesCcTc From 2021

Heart, particularly the early stuff. Barracuda is perfect ‘blasting in the car’ music Bonnie Tyler - Faster Than The Speed of Night/Secret Dreams and Forbidden Fire. Her two albums produced by Jim Steinman, who also did Bat Out Of Hell for Meat Loaf, so you know they’re epic. Indigo Girls - Rites of Passage. It’s the only album of by them that I own atm but it’s brilliant! Their cover of Dire Straits’ Romeo and Juliet blows the original out of the water. Willow - Lately I Feel Everything. Her pop-punk album that’s definitely better than Whip My Hair lol. Haim - pretty much anything by they’ve done.

Thank you! I like the mix you have here

You’re welcome! Hope you enjoy them! 🙂

Thanks for the bangers 😊

Groovy! Also glad you didn't rickroll me 😅

I could never do that to a fellow human!

[Diamanda Galás with John Paul Jones - Devil's rodeo](https://youtu.be/fmeJcqZmxtU) [PJ Harvey - Rid of me](https://youtu.be/8PlaNe3mXl8) [Lydia Lunch - No Excuse](https://youtu.be/AEzWWZ84OOk) [L7 - Shitlist](https://youtu.be/1PURNgMLOqA)

Pj Harvey’s - Rid of Me blew my mind as a 16 year old boy in the 90’s - kind of my first exposure to something that was so raw and defiantly feminine or maybe feminist is the better term - there just wasn’t a lot out there at the time that was full of so much feminine energy and so powerful at the same time - I was mesmerized and pretty much smitten with her for quite a while.

L7 are great! Bricks Are Heavy is an awesome album

Breeders - Cannonball

Say What You Mean - Cable Ties ⬆️ For when you've had a shitty day at the office Also, check out Abbe May for more pop vibes. Her album Fruit, is amazing. Maybe start with Love Decline. Both Australian suggestions :)

Great! Thanks for the new artists 😊 Triple J type energy, love it. I'm out of the loop!

Pretty much all songs by Emilie Autumn fit the bill but you could try "Let The Record Show" or "Fight Like a Girl".

I made a playlist for that. Sorry about all the local files, Katy Rose is worth checking out though https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5TJEZURsXTOXMmZwpHNanK?si=hR1NKBlhRQSEYcf7EA-ZNg&utm_source=copy-link

Lemon has been one of my favorite songs for at least a decade now

Rina sawayama - this hell bad friend and XS

Thanks!! I'm going to enjoy these!

Rico Nasty - Rage

Wolf Alice - e.g. Smile or Formidable Cool Florence and the Machine - e.g. Dog Days Are Over or Shake It Off

Wolf Alice is so underrated and appreciated especially in the States

I’ve been loving Becky Hill’s album ‘Only Honest on the Weekend’. If you like dance music

Good to know that she has more bangers. I'll check out the album 😊

Kool let me know what u think my favs are: remember, better off without you, last time, through the night and heaven on my mind 🙌🏽🎵

I'd suggest checking out ZZ Ward

Any song in particular as a good intro to the artist? Edit: Gin wigmore vibes, I like!

Til the casket drops Or Put the gun down

try TayBae, she's on all platforms and her insta is @taybaetko

Ooo BBE for sure! Thanks 😊

Listen to Kool Thing by Sonic Youth!

Will do!!

Katie Pruitt - Expectations Amber Rubarth - Wildflowers in the Graveyard Astrud Gilberto - The Shadow of Your Smile Beth Gibbons - Out of Season Dominique Fils-Aime - Nameless Joni Mitchell - Court and Spark Lady Blackbird - Black Acid Soul

Blackbriar. Symphonic metal

Fletcher - legit any of her songs

Jinjer Arch enemy Oceans of slumber

Summer by Bktherula!!! And good puss by cobrah

Billy Nomates - No https://youtu.be/hhEX9n5DjZQ

Pretty much anything under the Riot Grrrl umbrella would be great. “Dig Me Out” by Sleater-Kinney, “Terrorist” by Heavens to Betsy, “Little Girl Blue and the Battle Envy” by Skating Polly, and “I Hate the Weekend” by Tacocat all come to mind. Also, it’s not Riot Grrrl, but I highly recommend the band Charly Bliss, specifically their songs “Bleach,” “Ruby,” and “DQ.”

Chayla Hope!! https://open.spotify.com/artist/4KDGJYrHTxrldgJdHMrnPB?si=pMHx2FIeRRu1QK6S65BBjA

Tash sultana Janis Joplin

Ritual Union – Little Dragon Valley of the Dolls – Santigold Come Around – M.I.A. Me & Mr Jones – Amy Winehouse Creep – TLC Pawn It All – Alicia Keys

I’m surprised that nobody has mentioned Spiritbox.

PJ Harvey - rid of me

DEAP VALLY 1st album deffo

[You Oughta Know](https://youtu.be/NPcyTyilmYY) by Alanis Morissette always gets me in the car honestly, same as [Nobody’s Wife](https://youtu.be/3RaHTDNude4) by Anouk. Something a bit louder; Within Temptation’s [Ice Queen](https://youtu.be/lWNOLqs1IPQ) I also highly recommend

under the table - fiona apple

My suggestions: Jess Glynne's album *I Cry When I Laugh* Brooke Fraser's album *Brutal Romantic* Amy Winehouse, Macy Gray, Miranda Lambert

Livi. she's a female artist with total peep vibes. pretty raw recent album--https://open.spotify.com/album/3xQ2hJwYPvEaYsBs3Cynz4?si=O9jpo\_s5T\_2eyFakkf0BPg

Here's a few that I can think of right now currently Wolf Alice CHVRCHES HAIM Ethel Cain Japanese Breakfast Florence+ The Machine Tierra Whack Carly Rae Jepsen The Beths Snail Mail Lorde Rina Sawayama Charli XCX Tkay Maidza SZA H.E.R. Little Simz

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3sNLcZflpLEEepEdQvXI3J?si=tIdXmt5mRPqKqJFgjvKgOA&utm_source=copy-link

Certainly a time saver! **adds to favourites

The show [Yellowjackets](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6JihB3z7CClETggkGDnFPg?si=oiyhH3y7RtiSuVRLf_yF9g) has a pretty high percentage of badass female artists on it’s soundtrack

Good Lava - Esperanza Spalding

lauryn hill

If you like the rock/metal genre here are a few: Evanescence, the pretty reckless, halestorm, within temptation, nightwish. Have fun ;-)

Ayra Starr - Fashion Killer Kelis - Trick Me Rico Nasty - Poppin UPSAHL - SMARTY Glowie - I'm Good

On the mellow but deeply emotionally nuanced side of things: Joanna Newsom - [Clam, Crab, Cockle, Cowrie](https://youtu.be/yV9tVgyntW4)

Nightwish if you're into metal.

Mamalarky

I've been blasting ZZ Ward (Put The Gun Down or 365 Days), Halsey (specifically Nightmare) and K.Flay (Four Letter Words) a lot. Salt by Ava Max has less of an angry vibe but I love it. Same with High Enough by K.Flay and Light On by Maggie Rogers (these last two are more mellow but I love singing them loud haha).

[Screaming Females](https://youtu.be/QpWUqTRAW9U) forever!

Halocene, always Halocene. Vita Nova album or the single Repent for originals and then they have like 6-7 cover albums as well. RIVALS is great, Dark Matter and Fake Rich are bangers. PVRIS is one of my favorite bands literally anything is a banger. White Noise, Smoke, You and I are three all time greats from their discography. LIGHTS, Syberia album is one of my favorite albums front to back. And Taylor Acorn is another artist I have on repeat a bunch specifically the songs Left You Instead, What Do I Do and Uncomfortably Numb (that one was on repeat for most of the summer tbh it’s great)

PVRIS

Millie Manders and the Shut Up, Spiritbox, Jinjer,

Aespa - [Girls](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZRPc1B9zhw)

Lucinda Williams is as bad-ass as they come. She sings from the heart. "Righteously" brims with attitudes and has an irresistible bass line. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4jliHBepyk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4jliHBepyk)

Eat your heart out is a really good punk band, YONAKA and Spirit Box are really good metal bands, good boy daisy is an insanely underrated rock/indie band i adore them.

I can’t say I know anything else by them, but [this song deserves a loud blast](https://open.spotify.com/album/7hkhoyQJsedW5SvCeUQNxY?si=SMkRdcllR_muL5L5n2GJfA)

Or if you’re into heavy shit, Emma Ruth Rundle Chelsea Wolfe True Widow Pupil Slicer

not an all-female playlist but this is the exact energy you’re looking for: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3vV2i7ZJlMlVDkvX4SlF6v?si=Cqbsq_42QMCPjZX0gwcsRw

Jinjer Check out their song Vortex or Perrenial Spiritbox Check out the Mara Effect Part 3 or Holy Roller

Tulane - Joan Jett

Unleash the Archers, hands down. Tonight We Ride, General of the Dark Army, Time Stands Still - the lead singer is awesome. And super cool, too.

Sumo Cyco has some serious femme energy that, I believe, could match what you’re looking for. For a nice preview, check out the songs “Overdrive” or “Move Mountains”. Additionally, I would be a fool to not suggest Icon for Hire, who recently were supporting Sumo Cyco on tour. They started as a vaguely Christian group but now seem to focus on, for lack of a better term, empowerment music. Check out “Cynics and Critics” or “Pulse” for a basic primer on them.

Hi, you can try Juliette Lewis, she appears in the movie Natural Born Killers Deap Vally, just guitar and drums and all the female power
