I was reading through the Halestorm thread and noticed that everyone's kind of split on digging female fronted bands/artists. I know that we've never sold any female artists (other than Robin Beck) in large quantities at Wishing Well. I can't even get some of my best friends listen to some new female fronted stuff just once! I'm just wondering what it is about female artists/bands that puts off some of you guys?

 

My favorite female artists/bands:

 

Heart

Lee Aaron

Saraya

Darby Mills/Headpins

Toronto

Patty Smyth

I think female fronted bands are the same as male bands, theres some good ones and some shit ones.

Sadly though, some people are still of the blinkered mindset that women cannot rock!

Itsnot that its a hard sale, I think there are just so many more male fronted bands, the pool gets tainted, I just posted about an awesome one, Skunk Anansie, I think if you have the right women a female vocalist can be better then a male, Damone is a totally fucking smokin new band, I loved Alyson Avenue,

 

Saraya

Harlow

Warlock

Gyspy Queen

Headpins

Fanny

Scandal

I think its just a case that there has been far far fewer female fronted bands over the years. & then when you consider that only a % of them will be any good you are only left with a handful which really do the business. Some of my favs have been

 

Saraya

Heart

Sass Jordan

Witness

Harlow

Nightwish

Mostly Autumn

Skunk Anansie

Within Temptation

 

but like I say its bad when you are struggling to name more than 10 off the top of your head. Those mentioned above though are pretty killer IMO.

There are heaps of threads with female bands listed so I won't bother with that, but to answer the questions at the start of this thread.

 

I was one of the dudes in the Halestorm thread saying that I'm not generally a fan of female fronted rock. I too have asked myself why. Surely it's better to listen to a sexy female voice over a dood's voice? But for me it's not. For me, it's pretty simple. I like music I can relate to. I like to be in the moment of the song, and generally, with a female singing about a dude's hard penis entering her or she misses a dude's hard penis entering her (as they often do) I can't be there with her. It's pretty much as simple as that.

 

I have plenty of female fronted bands - every single good one mentioned in this thread - and do not avoid them. But if you ask me point blank, I plain and simply prefer male frotned bands every single time. Without question. :)

 

And it has nothing at all to do with a belief that "women can't rock".

      Voodoo Angel - Moulin Rouge

      By Stefan · Posted

      From Lions Pride Music: Voodoo Angel ANNOUNCES THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED RELEASE OF THEIR SECOND ALBUM, #MOULINROUGE UNDER Lions Pride Music - OUT NOVEMBER 29, 2024. Band: Voodoo Angel Album: Moulin Rouge Label: Lions Pride Music Catalogue Number: LPM089 Release Date: November 29, 2024   The wait is over. Voodoo Angel, the electrifying sleaze-metal phenomenon, is set to release their second studio album, Moulin Rouge, on November 29, 2024, under the esteemed Lions Pride Music label. Following the success of their 2022 debut, First Spell, the band is poised to deliver another hard-hitting collection of tracks that are unapologetically loud, thrilling, and unforgettable. Moulin Rouge is a testament to Voodoo Angel's relentless energy and unique sound—a fusion of sleaze, metal, and pure rock that has captivated audiences worldwide. The album features ten explosive tracks, including the anthemic opener "We're Still Alive," the poignant "When Life Passes You By," and the gritty "Daddy's Back To The Madam." Fans can expect the same raw power and intensity that made Voodoo Angel a global sensation. Tracklist: 01. We're Still Alive 02. When Life Passes You By 03. Broken 04. It's Gonna Hurt 05. Daddy's Back To The Madam 06. I Won't Stand In Line 07. More 08. Sin City 09. Come & Get It 10. So Pretty   Voodoo Angel's rise to fame is nothing short of legendary. From their beer-fueled beginnings to their viral sleaze-metal renditions of pop classics like "Billie Jean" and INXS's "Devil Inside," the band has consistently pushed the boundaries of rock music. Their original compositions, such as "Wake Me When It's Done," have further solidified their place in the rock pantheon, amassing fans from Europe to Australia. The band's lineup, featuring Jean-Luc Rumèbe (Lead Vocals, Keytar, Piano, Guitars & Keys), Jim Red (Bass guitar & Backing vocals), Christophe Mouynet (Lead Guitars & Backing vocals), and Thomas Feuga (Drums & Backing vocals), is a powerhouse of talent and chemistry. Together, they have crafted Moulin Rouge, an album that not only meets but exceeds the high expectations set by their debut. Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Jean-Luc Rumèbe at JLR Studio Productions in France, Moulin Rouge is a sonic masterpiece. Rumèbe, who also composed, wrote, and arranged the album, brings his signature style to every track, ensuring that each song is a testament to Voodoo Angel's raw, unfiltered power. Fans can catch a glimpse of what's to come with the album sampler and artwork, both of which reflect the band’s distinctive aesthetic. Additionally, the track "So Pretty" features special guest backing vocals by Ricky Kearns, adding another layer of depth to the album. As Voodoo Angel prepares to unleash Moulin Rouge upon the world, one thing is certain: this band is here to stay. With a global deal with Lions Pride Music and a second album that is destined to become a modern rock classic, Voodoo Angel is set to electrify the world once again. Voodoo Angel is: Jean-Luc Rumèbe : Lead Vocals, Keytar, Piano, Guitars & Keys Jim Red : Bass guitar & Backing vocals Christophe Mouynet : Lead Guitars & Backing vocals Thomas Feuga : Drums & Backing vocals Additional Backing Vocals on „So Pretty“ by Ricky Kearns

      Ah, the old record label make a quick buck off bands they dropped years ago sets where they are just bare bones albums with no bonus material. I thought maybe I missed box sets with bonus stuff. But once again, still reasonably priced.

      Guns N Roses - Appetite for destruction super deluxe reissue?

      By heavyharmonies · Posted

      Dredging this up again, as you can now find this set new for about $50-60 shipped on eBay. I just finally bought it to get the 5.1 channel blu-ray version of the album. $179 for the set? No fucking way. But $50? Ehh, ok. more reasonable IMO.
