Let's have a little froth about girl bands!
by JosieJadore
Girl bands: The last couple of years have seen the rise of both the female solo singer and the band frontwoman. JosieJadore picks a couple of musical female-fronted treats from Industrial to Folk Rock for you to smack your lips on.

Music is constantly changing these days! There are so many bands/artists out there that I can hardly keep up with them all. The most exciting change is the increase in bands with female lead singers! Usually bands are male-fronted, and bands like the seminal Blondie tended to be the exception, not the rule. Nothing against the males, but I am finding this new change very pleasing.
However, there have been a few bands out there that had female fronters (like Amy Lee of Evanescence), so I thought I would kick off this celebration with some bands that I've come across.
Consider this a little treat. These bands/artists are from all different types of genres. Since there are so many different types of music, I thought it would be easier to mix it up and give you a taste of all of them. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Mission statement
Mookychick believes that climbing trees and riding giant turtles is more fun and girly than worrying about make-up. But if you want to worry about make-up instead of turtles? Fine by us. Be you feminist, kitten, punk, emo, indie, goth, witch, vegan, horror junky, intellectual, christian goth, corset queen, geek, unicorn, sea monkey... be you into alternative style, alternative health, spirituality, comics, manga, j-pop, harajuku or jock culture... we will always love you.
Amanda Palmer - punk cabaret
The Sounds - indie folk rock
JosieJadore: I'm hard to remember, but impossible to forget. I am a very unique person and I guarentee you will never find another person quite like me. I have many passions in life, but my biggest passion is music. I love to listen to music, write lyrics, and I love to play guitar. Among other things in life, I love to write as well. Life is full of surprises and I can say the same for myself. See my video blogs on YouTube....
