Especially this live performance and their album from 2021 has some real bangers.

War on Women is a group I really like from Baltimore. feminist punk metal. https://waronwomen.bandcamp.com/track/white-lies
Loved War on Women but they are tainted for me personally after I read this. https://lambgoat.com/news/35416/ex-war-on-women-guitarist-nancy-hornburg-speaks-out-against-band/
Noooooooooooooooooo! Aw man.
Just want to say, after reading that, including the statement from the band themselves, it reads to me like these members got kicked out, then vented their frustrations. Maybe I'm missing something but this all sounds like pretty standard band politics to me, especially when egos and perfectionism are concerned. At least I don't see anything about nazi salutes or groupie abuse or some shit in there.
Anyway, sorry for the late reply. Got to this late. Finally got everything listed and categorized and decided to start to with the punk kind of stuff first. Just started listening this morning and I was hooked from the first track on the first album. I can even say it's exactly the kind of punk rock I've been missing and looking for for a long time now. So thanks for this suggestion!
Not sure about the genre but I recently discovered Blackwater Holylight and I quite like them
Animal Alpha - Bundy is a favorite I return to every now and then. I don’t know the rest of their music
Loved this song on while playing burnout
No one mentioned iwrestledabearonce yet, so a toss out if that. Rad metalcore band from when metalcore was rad. For (much) less metal/more punk or riot grrl vibes check out Amyl and the Sniffers and Be Your Own PET. Don’t come at me if I used genre names wrong with those.
Spiritbox has been mentioned elsewhere in the comments, but I'm not sure how common knowledge it is that they were started by former iwrestledabearonce members.
Vana The Pretty Wild Enemy Inside Not Enough Space Poppy Foie Gras (gothy music)
If you like death and a more extreme sound you have to listen to Crypta. All female band and they are honestly one of the best out there. Impeccable riffs, drums and singing.
Entheos!
Brutus. Stefanie Mannaerts is the lead Singer and drummer. Simultaneously! She is absolutely amazing and has so much power in her Voice. My favorite Band of 2025.
Dark Moor with their first 3 albums with Elisa is great.
I posted this on a similar question a few weeks ago. I’ve been down the rabbit hole with these bands lately:
Stitched up heart, New Year’s Day, September mourning,
-chick singer led goth metal bands
Have you tried hard techno? Check out Cassie Raptor
Oh dang this is right up my alley.
- Amberian Dawn
- Arch Enemy
- Spiritbox
- Metalite
- Otep
- Warlock
- Epica
- Within Temptation
- Delain
- Amaranthe
- Diamante
- Orianthi
- Sirenia
I only have a passing interest in metal, but I heard about this Indonesian Muslim all-female metal trio (Voice of Baceprot) a while back and was impressed when I watched the videos of them playing. It's trippy to see them wearing hijabs and all while kicking ass playing metal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6v4728NJ7B8
Excellent question! Have you tried !gpral@hilariouschos.com the mod there is lovely
Hello... Hope you're hanging in there and taking care of yourself this evening. Sorry for taking so long to respond to this, I meant to get back to this thread sooner.
It's a real pity that I can't even see that community (and a couple of others there) from here. I wish you could convince your friend to open an alt community in more neutral ground. Or try to make some sort of amends with all of the instances that are de-federated with hilariouschaos. There's some big ones de-federated from it, even piefed.social, which I tried the other day.
If you're interested, now that I'm attending to this post, it seems likely that my next fixation on something to categorise and make lists of is going to be this very topic lol. I'll probably only be done in a couple of months from now but if you would like, I could post my results in Women's Stuff (or I could pass it on to you to post, if you prefer). Otherwise if you think it's a better idea, I could post it to gpral from another account, although I wish I could do that without feeling bad about Blåhaj people being blocked off from it.
And, just gonna ping your new account in case you never look at the old one anymore: @LadyButterfly@lazysoci.al
Mate that would be great! We'd love to see your stuff if you do it deffo post it.
Yay, I'm glad you like the idea! As I say it might take time though. And depending on how much, I might split up punk, heavy and general alternative. There's already some good stuff in this thread, stuff that was out when I was going out to clubs and shit but that just never got played anywhere. Apart from the obvious stuff like Arch Enemy and Nightwish. Funny that.
Anyway, at least now my next stint of making lists won't be so pointless.
Great ideas, and dont worry about time. Making lists doesn't sound pointless and nothing that you enjoy is ever a waste of time. Your enjoyment matters
Haha no I've spent a lot of time working on things that ultimately don't matter much. And sometimes get consumed by it to the point of starting to pull all nighters. But I do enjoy it, yup lol.
Hope you're feeling better and thanks for the encouragement!
Bones UK, I dunno if they're a full female band but the two main ones are.
Jinjer, Arch Enemy, Unleash the Archers, spiritbox (and iwabo), Devil Electric
Nemophila is an Asian all female band that fucking stomps.
Amaranthe is catchy as fuck melodic death metal with a female singer.
Hanzel und Gretyl is industrial rock that’s on the heavy side and has a female vocalist.
Jinjer is female fronted and heavy as fuck.
Maid of Ace is an all girl crossover thrash punk band. Scowl is good too for this.
Sumo Cyco is Canadian hard rock/heavy metal fronted by a chick who does the voice of Barbie in a bunch of animated Barbie movies.
Jenner, theyre a Serbian thrash metal band.
Along similar lines, System Divide, though I think they only had one album.
Could be slightly soft for your taste, a bit Hole-ish maybe, but I saw McQueen a couple of times (once supporting Mad Capsule Markets) and liked them since. Only one album sadly
'Neurotic' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaqTO4UwHMY

I got kinda (very) overwhelmed by this thread. I was expecting like 5 responses, so you thank you very much for all the suggestions. I have finally made a list from all of this and will be replacing just about my entire music rotation with everything here. Once I find my favourites, I'll probably let you know some time in the future lol.
Thought I might as well drop some names that are already in my collection that I haven't seen mentioned here, for the sake of anyone that might come past here in future. Including stuff that's more on the alternative / hard rock side of things.
General Alternative / Rock:
- 4 Non Blondes
- Anneke van Giersbergen (singer of The Gathering)
Old School:
- Heart
- Janis Joplin
- Siouxsie Sioux and the Banshees
Alternative because off-beat / weird:
- Portishead
- Tori Amos
- Björk
Punk:
- Destroy Boys (been on my list for a while, haven't got around to listening to much yet)
- The Distillers
- Nekra (sadly they seem to only have a demo and this one EP: https://open.spotify.com/album/153G7zAHPl4hinlqhn1lvy)
Hard Rock / Grunge:
- DILLY DALLY
- Guano Apes
- Skunk Anansie
Heavy:
- Devilskin (band I discovered in New Zealand)
- Octavia Sperati (singer went on to do an album or two for The Gathering)
