I've found a #ttt post from @thebighigg sharing three songs from female fronted bands for #threetunetuesday and I thought "hey, I know some female rock/metal bands too! Let's do this".
Now, nothing against @thebighigg selection, that's music history for sure. But I've abandoned old music since years now and I'm very aware of some amazing and very influential female fronted bands out there that are slamming and thriving right now around the world, turning upside down the rock/metal world.
I have many names in mind so this is probably just the first part. Hit that follow button for the next episodes! 🤘
Let's start from water with...
SPIRITBOX - PERFECT SOUL
I'm not the only one in the metal world having a total crush on this woman. Courtney LaPlante is the lead singer for Spiritbox, a modern metalcore band from Canada. Tsunami Sea is their last album, published just some months ago and it's perfect. A shiny metal gem from start to finish and Perfect Soul is one of my favourite Spiritbox's song ever. I watch this video and I cry. It's so beautiful, she's beautiful, they're beautiful. Amazing musicians, incredible vocal skills, guitar works out of this world, totally innovative. And she can growl and scream too. The hell she can! Check the full album to hear Spiritbox at full power and be ready: punches in your face guaranteed.
POPPY - I DISAGREE
Ok, my crush on Courtney LaPlante is strong... but Poppy is my worshipped goddess 🙏
It's really hard to describe who Poppy is. One of the most talented artists I've ever known. A dozen of albums, ranging from pop, dance, retro-synth, reggae, industrial, alternative rock and metalcore. An unparalleled skill to mix all these genres together even inside a simple 3 minute song.
She's an alien. Amazing ideas, producer and creator of graphic novels, Youtube variety mind-blowing unconceivable shows; a chameleonic skill to change her aesthetic and style. I Disagree is a single from the homonymous album which earned her a Grammy nomination for the metal category.
She's now in her full metal era and she's having the most success thanks to this choice to express her anger with the most suitable genre to do so.
Now excuse me, I have to go pray the altar of her that I've built in my closet...
STARBENDERS - THE GAME
I'm sure this will be appreciated by many. To follow the classic rock trail of @thebighigg posts, here's Starbenders!
I found about them through an Instagram sponsored story. After days and days of swiping over this sponsored content I said "Fine! Let's listen to this once and for all". And holy shit if I became a superfan right away! This is so good, there is nothing here to envy the classic 80's AOR like Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Def Leppard and company.
The Game is a single from their album Take Back The Night where you can find classic rock songs, some more garage-punk tracks and a couple ballads, plus a very well done cover of Alice Cooper's Poison, amazingly conveyed by the singer Kimi Shelter and her scratchy and fuckin' sexy voice oh my god I'm in love please save me!
If you like classic 70s rock tunes, you'll love this album.
Next time I'm going into the dark electronic music field so be sure to follow for more!
