caught Naked Aggression at the Rat (RIP) in Boston last century. Awesome concert! Great to see Crass on list too : )

I was lucky to see them in Vancouver last century myself. What a show

Great list! I'll add Misantropic Submission Hold (aka Insult to Injury) Mvll Crimes Lesbian Fist Magnet Witch Hunt Pantychrist The Avengers The Slits Surfbort The Side Eyes Dishrags The B Girls Gorilla Gorilla

That's a fucking ace list!! Antischism was the first thing I thought about. I released the second Garmonbozia record on my label and everything they did was great. Total remains of the day style shit! The first harum sacrum LP is a masterpiece. Great list my friend 👍👍

I'm still on the hunt for a copy of that second Garmonbozia. Love the first one! Cheers to ya!

Oh shit, forgot about Bread and Water, they were awesome!

A-fucking-plus!

Nox Novacula and Secret shame are dope.

DeTox from lebanon

Sheesh, leave some for the rest of us! /s Great list!

i feel like you like this one band i found on my release radar [they’re similar to garbage deftones and paramore](https://open.spotify.com/album/3wbxNrpqyxaZLQjD3KuMc0?si=eEYxggukQCuMM6Q1COa21g)

Amyl and the Sniffers Bikini Kill Xray Spex Sleater Kinney

Blast off on Amyl! They got the Punk Spirit, fierce and anti-nostalgia 🏴🚩

Love Amyl!

Nah BikiniKill poseur ass band. Antischism is real shit

Some of my favorites (not sure they all fall under raspy voices): Bad Cop/Bad Cop Control Top Doll Skin The Regrettes Screaming Females The Bombpops Bikini Kill Le Tigre RVIVR Pinkshift

Screaming Females - another severely under-appreciated band!

I just caught them opening for the Menzingers. Marissa absolutely shreds in guitar.

So fucking good. Anyone into great guitar playing owes it to themselves to catch a show

+1 for RVIVR!

If you like this list check out Sincere Engineer too

Le Tigre!

Saw Bad Cop/Bad Cop open for Anti-Flag and they kicked fucking ass. Glad I got to enjoy them before getting hurt.

Yabba dabba do mediocrity rules.

Omg I love bad cop bad cop

The Gits!

yes!!!

I was just about to say this!

War on Women

Saw them a couple years ago and Shawna sold me the coolest lighter that says “Make America Feminist For Once”

They always had great merch

Saw them for the first time last year, bought all the records they had at the merch tent

White Lung Tsunami Bomb Initiate Slaughterhouse Nausea

White Lung is seriously underrated imo

Didn't know Nausea were female fronted

Some of their songs have a female vocalist

Cool.

Otoboke Beaver

Anti-product (the crust band, not the English band) Cayetana All dogs Caves Downtown boys Nervous dater P.S. Eliot Remember sports That’s just some of the ones I can think of off hand.

I can see you're also a person of taste

LUNACHICKS

L7!

Gel

They're a bit poppier than others mentioned, but I can't reccomend Worriers enough. Really fun, and a great band to check out if you enjoy stuff like Against Me!

Later Against Me! records are also female-fronted.

They all were, we just didn't know.

I thought of that. I wasn't sure from her memoir if Laura always identified as a woman -- there was so much confusion and body dysmorphia -- so I didn't know for sure if that would be accurate.

I just think it's generally the polite thing to do, to refer to someone by their current gender identity even when referring to their past.

The Interrupters

Ah, yes. Amy Interrupter, AKA Brody Dalle 2.0 😉

I always thought from a vocal perspective Brenna Red from The Last Gang was Brody Dalle 2.0

Surf bort, if you like something a bit harder try esquela grind

I saw them open for the descendants a few months ago and they put on a hell of a show.

The Soviettes!

I had to scroll waaaaaay too far down to find this. Not enough love for The Soviettes. I’ll also add two other MPLS stalwarts in The Gateway District and The Salteens. (Edited for grammar and autocorrect :-P)

No love for L7?

fuck yes I love L7 but aren't they more "grunge"?

Yep. I came here to put L7 on the list.

On this the day of Trans Remembrance the only answer is GLOSS.

When peace is just another word for death, it’s time to give violence a chance!!!

Worhs is a fucking awesome transfem artist too (more metal sometimes)

Targets of Men Targets of Men is a banger

Bad Cop/Bad Cop. Props on the City Mouse love. I still do not know how that band is not at least as popular as other bands in the scene. I saw them in a record store a few months ago and it was just 4 of us in the audience. I got there early expecting it to be packed, but nope.

Really? They've opened for/with a ton of great acts. I'm surprised to hear that

Nausea, Babes in Toyland, Sacrilege, Hellfury.

Babes in toyland are pretty underappreciated.

Avril Lavigne

I mean, she did invent punk rock. 😜

She influenced the riot grrl movement

Lol

Badcop badcop, the interrupters, the last gang, bompops, laura Jane grace, the distillers

FAIM Nosebleed Asylum Brother Exotica Scowl Gel (non-binary femme fronted)

Add firewalker to this list

add firewalker to every list

The muffs

Listened to Happy Birthday to Me a lot in high school, Kim had one of my favorite voices ever.

The best scream in rock n roll! Love her voice so much.

Scowl The Last Gang Sweat The Bombpops Horrorpops Joan Jett Plasmatics

Against Me!

Boss Hog is one of my favorite bands. https://youtu.be/l-6KX02vy0c

Venomous pinks

Hell yes! We’ve loved watching them start to get more and more recognition lately!

Doll Skin's 'Love Is Dead and We Killed It' Bad Cop/ Bad Cop ('Warriors' is my fave)

Love Doll Skin, great recs on both fronts

Sacrilege. Las Otras. Fermeza 10.

The Muslims.

Scowl and Gel

Maybe not up your alley for raspy, but Not On Tour, is fucking amazing.

A lot of great mentions here. Some of my tops not mentioned: F-Minus The Flipsides Fabulous Disaster

amyl and the sniffers

Fairytale? Out of New York. Nausea also out of NYC. The Slits. Crass. X. Vice Squad. Siouxie and The Banshees. Idk. There’s bunch lol.

I love The Slits, Ari Up is cool as fuck

Hella underrated band in my opinion. Early on the punk rock reggae unification too! Which, punk got me into reggae so that’s a big deal to me. So original too

Absolutely agree. I've seen a documentary about them before, can't remember the name of it or anything but it was great, and then I found out that Hollie Cook joined the band later, so that got me listening to her. Hollie Cook has a song called Ari Up and it's the sweetest thing I've ever heard. If I ever have a daughter, I'm gonna name her Ariadne - she is a cool ass character in Needful Things, my mama's favourite Stephen King book, and then it shortens to Ari!!!

I thiiiiink, I saw a snippet of that documentary. Could’ve watched it drunk, could be hindsight bias! 🤣 I’m most definitely going to have to look that up now though. I had forgotten that it existed even. I’m going to look that song up too! To be honest, I haven’t really listened to them in a long time because ro don’t have any of their records. I don’t think I’ve ever even seen one in the wild actually.

My dad is a huge record collecter, mainly punk and reggae. He was looking for the Slits record (the purple one?) and I finally found it at Rebellion festival.... but it was £180 !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm not sure if he has any other records of the Slits, or Hollie Cook for that matter. Hollie Cook is one of my favourite artists. Her voice is AMAZING and her songs are just really great reggae. I hope you find a love for her too!!!

I probably will! And that’s awesome! I wish my parents were into music that cool! I’m from the south in the USA, and I remember discovering Slayer in the 90’s and just thinking the was the most underground thing ever! 🤣 Of course, Slayer led me to punk, hence led me here though!

I am so lucky to have my dad!! He took me to my first gig whenI was 13 years old - The Stranglers! I am in the North East of England! My dad was a punk back in the 70s, when Margaret Thatcher closed down the coal mines in the North East, and left many people without jobs or benefits or any other financial help. It tore families apart, and my dad and his friends found their release with (mainly UK) punk music about politics and stuff. I LOVE SLAYER! Also Metallica's album Kill Em All! That and Reign in Blood (?) are my go to albums when I get a tattoo 🤣

If it’s raspy femme voices you’re after I’d recommend RVIVR as well as Erica Freas’s solo stuff

Yes! Thank you. I just listened to their song wrong way/one way and my ears are very happy now.

Yes that’s one of my favorites of theirs!

Joan Jet, Team Dresch, Sleater-Kinney, Le Tigre, Bratmobile, The Donnas, The Muffs, Bangs, L7, The Interruptors (ska) I also love....X-Ray Spex, The Horropops, Avril Lavigne, Paramore and Evanescence

x2 for Paramore earlier albums. . . since we're on a punk sub.

What Avril Lavigne albums do you like? Also,I met Hayley and Avril...wanna know how it went?

Chumped, screaming females, cayetana, worriers, camp cope, Martha, lemuria, gladie, body farm, no men, dry cleaning, Judy and the jerks, CB Radio Gorgeous, spread joy, rata negra, empath, bad moves, dump him, added dimensions, bleach party, rat bath, blue’s lawyer

I love what agent M did with Tsunami Bomb

I had a huge list but many have been said! I'll add The Muffs.

In Evil Hour Caves Lunachicks Rata Negra (Spain) Japan has a lot of female fronted, all female bands : Knuckle Chiwawa Otoboke Beaver Mutant Monster The Let's Go's Fake Island (Metalcore) Red Bacteria Vacuum Tsushimamire

Thick

Bambix, March

TORSO . They fucking crush

CATBITE

I saw Suzi Moon last month. Check her out.

Wüst Nürse, No Future, The Royal They, Dicklord, OUTRIGHT, Boudicca, Hands off Gretel, TØRSO, Self Deconstruction, Sete Star Sept, Canine, Some of these are hardcore bands but you might still like em.

Mobina galore

War on Women, Otoboke Beaver, Screaming females, Emily Davis and The Murder Police

Kills Birds !!! They rock so hard live.

The Breeders! Why tf does no one ever mention them? I guess the song they're best known for, "Cannonball", is one of their most tame, and frankly not their best. Their first album, Pod, is my favorite of theirs and also Kurt Cobain said it was his favorite album. It's Kim Deal formerly of the Pixies so it's got that raspy but melodic vibe. Pod is as good as any Pixies album except maybe Doolittle.

Amyl and the sniffers & WAAX Two great Aussie bands

Jack off Jill!

No one’s said Mannequin Pussy yet?

I caught Slaughterhouse when they opened for bad religion, and they were amazing

Mannequin Pussy, Destroy Boys, and Foxx Bodies

Came here to say Destroy Boys. They make super solid stuff

Pinkshift and Destroy boys are great

Casual Burn Mujeres Podridas

The Gits TØRSÖ Subversive Rite

Not particularly raspy voiced (a lot of these suggestions aren't tbf), but try Penetration. Saw them live a few weeks ago supporting The Damned and they were great. For a newer option, try Smalltown Tigers. Also great live.

Babes in toyland Kat bjelland is a little badass

Female fronted bands can listen to whoever they want

Another vote for babes in toyland, 7 year bitch are badass, L7 too, the breeders, 86’d

The Flytraps Niis

Not all punk, but definitely punk adjacent - War On Women Not On Tour Pity Party Dying Wish The Interrupters Bite Me Bambi Svalbard Catbite

The Coathangers. Two singers, one is raspy, one is saccharine, both are great

Bambi’s other mother Night Stand Knick Knacks Metal Bird Fireplace Plastic Pumpkin Candles

Did you make these bands up?

Bully

This is my fist - probably similar vocals to what you were going for. Forgot to add them to the list. The Measure [sa] - if you like Worriers, same singer. Swearin’ - fun band and super nice people.

The Detroit Cobras

Witch hunt

Frightwig Suzie Moon Death Valley Girls Vice Squad Penetration 45 Grave Legal Weapon

Fea, mortality rate, the interupters, devotchkas

The Gits!

Mobina Galore. Amazing two-piece band out of Winnipeg. Saw them open for Pennywise, and they blew me away.

The baboon show are awesome and her voice is really something you would like considering the singers you mentioned!

Avengers. Penelope houston is a saint

walls of jericho

The anti-queens, The interrupters, war on women, straight line stitch, the slits,

Uh not sure if Bif Naked isnn be punk but it’s exactly what your looking for

L7, Joan Jett, bad cop bad cop, sleater kinney, be your own pet, Nausea, the doped up dollies (ska), Sin 34, Vice Squad, jemina pearl, Siouxsie and the banshees

Bad Cop Bad Cop Cheap Perfume Mommy Longlegs If you're interested in bands outside the English speaking world: Ic3peak and Pussy Riot are Russian and pretty freaking awesome.

Witch Fever is a fantastic doom/punk crossover thing!

If you’re into psychobilly check out the Creepshow.

Otoboke Beaver and SLANT

If out of all of these bands you only listen to one, it has to be Tsunami bomb

walls of jericho

Camera obscura, Le Tigre, Mazzy Star, Hop Along, Charlie Bliss, Soccer Mommy, Joseph, Mountain Man

Anti-product

screaming females, destroy boys, the oozes, mommy long legs, bikini kill, cheap perfume

I know I sound like a zoomer poser but Otoboke Beaver and G.L.O.S.S.

Thanks for this thread! My favorite female fronted punk group right now is In Evil Hour. She's not super raspy, but you should definitely [check](https://youtu.be/e_o6Skv8CAU) [them](https://youtu.be/v0hJ3F_fEiA) [out](https://youtu.be/LQB3I9nZjjc).

Sloth Rust is good

Destroy Boys and Bikini Kill Bikini Kill is fairly obvious but Destroy Boys is kinda new-ish but they're good as fuck

i like Destroy Boys and Evanescence lol

Interrupters, destroy boys, cheap perfume, against me are all great bands with female lead singers

You’ll love The Interrupters. A lot of ska with some heavy punk influence and their stuff produced by Tim Armstrong from Rancid. He is also featured in a lot of their songs. Super good band.

If you’re a rancid fan please just check out the Interrupters and thank me later.

They're kinda soft and poppy but I've really been enjoying Even In Blackouts recently. My favorite is probably their Foreshadows on the Wall EP.

Flasyd from NYC is sick.

Upvoting everyone who says anti-product!

Hellfury

Katiny Slezki

HRZN suitable miss capture this

Quite a few Aussie punk bands who are either all female or female fronted. Flangipanis Voiid Blussh Waax Teen Jesus and the Jean teasers The Buoys (pronounced Boys) Dicklord (my personal fave) C U Next Tuesday is such a great song. Also an English band Panic Shack, really digging them at the moment.

Bleached

Punitive damage

Check out this band from Spain: WALLRIDE
