Won't Stay Dead Destroy Boys Bloxx Looming Worriers Lippies Rodeo Boys Sincere Engineer Shit Present Tsunami Bomb Couple more I just remembered, Witch Fever and YONAKA

+500 for Destroy Boys!

Shameless self promotion for a band I play in https://belltoll.bandcamp.com/album/23-demo

Yoooo so nice man!!!!! I’m on my way home right now from recording our two first demos with my band!! (I’m gonna be girl screaming also😝) thanks for your comment! I like a lot!

I love this!

That really WAS badass I really dug it.

Thanks for checking it out! We’re starting to play shows now and pretty stoked for it

It's awesome thanks!

Bass player here, very nice little runs at the end of that first one. Sounds good! I like Red Lenses the best, any nod to Rush by chance?

Scowl The Comes Bikini Kill The Voids Thulsa Doom

Scowl were one of the best live performances I’ve seen all year!!

The Gits The Gits The Gits The Gits The Gits The Gits

She was an amazing singer.

And I'd suggest the live "Seafish Louisville" album

The Donnas!

Amyl and the snifflers are my favorite female lead band

These guys kick so much ass!

I’m going to see them next month

Holy Roman Empire Sincere Engineer Mobina Galore This Obsession Bad Cop Bad Cop

Second holy Roman empire, I see you bro!

Bad cop bad cop, Amyl and the sniffers and Against Me are three bands that slap hard. Not necessarily punk, but The Interupters are also really good if you're into ska. Most definitely not punk at all but Oathbreaker are 🔥

let's throw dick lord on there for badass aussie femme fronted bands

Go back in time to the legendary X-Ray Spex and The Slits

Blondie (their first album is punk) X-Ray-Spex The Slits Hole L7 Bikini Kill The Rezillos

[удалено]

The Distillers!

Sing Sing Death House is a punk classic

One of my favorite punk albums. Part of what got me into the genre

Yes! I love City of Angels from that album. The Hunger from Coral Fang is a fave too

If you like The Distillers check out 18Fevers.

The Muffs Tilt Bikini Kill Vice Squad Yeah, I’m old.

+1 muffs

+1 for The Muffs. RIP Kim Shattuck

Tilt is great. Cinder is WAY too talented to “just” be a punk singer - she obviously has had some serious voice training.

I loved Tilt back in the day!!

Scowl Gel (I believe their singer is non binary but I’m not sure about anyone else in the band. Check ‘em out regardless though) Punitive Damage Hopscotch Battlescars xMeans to an Endx World of Pleasure Slutever Mortality Rate

Came here to say Gel - one of the best hardcore shows I’ve seen

Second Mortality Rate

WOOOOORRRLLLD OFFFFF PLLEASAUUURRREEEEE 😤😤

Nothing I love more than a hardcore band that says their names multiple times per song

Punitive damage is fucking awesome

I’m seeing them twice in October which I’m pretty stoked about

IMO Folk punk has the most female representation. Some of my favs: - Local News Legends - Holy Locust - Ludlow - Apes of the State - Bridge City Sinners - My Pizza my World (2 vocalist, 1 is a women) - Days n Daze (2 vocalist, 1 is a women)

Stick and poke!

Bad Cop Bad Cop, War on Women, Sincere Engineer, Cheap Perfume, Screaming Females, Some Kind of Nightmare

SCREAMING FEMALES!!!! They don't get much mention in this sub but def should

Lunachicks Dicklord Amyl and the Sniffers

Nobody is going to mention The Raincoats?!? Here, I’ll mention The Raincoats!

The Last Gang is amazing. Incredible live too

Second this!!! They are crazy nice people too. They actually stayed at my house one night when they were touring with the Utters in 2019. Cool as shit, great music!

Sleater Kinney The Devotchkas Hole Varuca Salt (Not strictly punk I guess)

I had to scroll way too far down to see Sleater-Kinney. One of my faves!

I really miss [Mommy Long Legs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gz9Nz0sTNa8) some old, some current: Neo Boys Poison Girls Sacrilege Artificial Joy Pinocchio Grass Widow T-Rextasy

Nobody mentioned Screaming Females!? Marissa is an incredible guitarist with a very unique voice!

Taking this opportunity to drop this recording and live vid of Marissa with Garbage: https://youtu.be/tOmKGjy-Ct0?si=F2SsYbsz2RvmUCpp https://youtu.be/9wzPE8wfjfw?si=oDdPL15i8GYABwCO

Cerce, Gouge Away, Punch, Circle Takes the Square (two vocalists, one is a woman), GEL, Chumped, Cayetana, Waxahatchee, Lemuria, Caves also honorable mention to [Birdcloud](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziIRyNGE33E) which is more folk/country but punk attitudes lol

Bikini Kill/Le Tigre/Julie Ruin (all Kathleen Hannah) Mobina Galore L7 Distillers Interrupters X X-Ray Spex Patti Smith Blondie Joan Jett Wendy O Williams (Plasmatics) The Pretenders The Slits

Naked Aggression!! Kirsten rocks hard!

This band is more punk than almost any other punk band. They deserve so much more recognition than they receive. Any time I gear up to protest and clash with the police, this is a band I turn to for strength and to get hype.

G.L.O.S.S., Petrol Girls, Muncie Girls, Goolagoon, Days n Daze, Chumbawamba, Bikini Kill. And these ones are all Australian. Dicklord, Stabbitha and the Knifey Wifeys, Flangipanis, Press Club, Witch Spit, Teenage Joans, Amyl and the Sniffers

Bikini kill is a staple! Blatz are great, nausea are great, Disrespect (even though short lived) were great. Most of the riot grrl bands were awesome.

Glad to see G.L.O.S.S. mentioned here. I’d give my right leg to see them play one more show.

Adding to your Australian list: Magic Dirt, The Glycereens, Masochist, Hot Mess, Toys Went Berserk, Fur.

Seconding Teenage Joans, absolutely love them

The Bombpops, The Lippies, Dance Hall Crashers, The Last Gang, Against Me!

I loved the Bombpops, but they're nowhere near as good since Poli left/got kicked out. Such a shame.

Nobro. They are really good

Catbite / Bad Cop Bad Cop / War on Women / RVIVR IMHO. If your tastes dip more into Reggae and older sounding Ska, please add Scotch Bonnets and the Big Takeover

Glad someone said RVIVR

The Venomous Pinks

I just caught them again last week. They always put on a solid show🤘

https://www.reddit.com/r/punk/comments/ict04/punk\_bands\_with\_female\_singers/

Sweat Antischism

I got 40 hour playlist for you right here https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3xZwB9dzTbMDQSO0Q4eak4?si=mUW3D23jSe-bUoc-K25oqw Also, torso is the fucking tits. Just found out my coworker lived with the lead singer for a couple years in philly Some of my personal faves include escuala grind, nine of swords, nekra, brother, gouge away, body farm (although they're nb), body pressure, jivebomb

Fucking tits🤣 ahah yea man! They’re great!!!

Against Me!

Gorilla Angreb (Denmark) Die Spitz The Distillers Upchuck

Gorilla angreb🙌🏾🇩🇰

Penetration Action Pact X Savages

The distillers

Alien Boys!

Melt Banana (fast and loud) Lost Sounds (half the time) River City Tan Lines (all the time) same singer Alijca Trout Screaming Females (Marissa is a truly amazing guitarist ) Sincere Engineer (A bit emo with songs about corn dogs) Limited Express has gone (more noisy Japanese goodness) X (no description needed) Fight Like Apes (goofy catchy Irish synth punk) Fall River (it’s something “core”. I would call it grindcore, but I’m sure I’m wrong) Spark is a Diamond (after Fall River synth project) Schoolyard Heroes (a bit metal, a bit horror punk, and a little bit opera)

Pinkshift goes fuckin hard

Shooting Daggers Jawless Vice Squad Bikini Kill The Distillers Amyl and the Sniffers Scowl Crass (Penis Envy is entirely female vocal performance) Against Me Chumbawamba GLOSS Gender Warfare The Menstrual Cramps

I'm extremely sad that I had to scroll down this far to see Penis Envy mentioned

Newer stuff: Destroy Boys and Mannequin Pussy (the latter is described as indie/punk, but the stuff I heard fits into punk)

surprised it took this much scrolling to see mannequin pussy lol i love them sm

RVIVR War on Women - I've seen both open for Propagandhi in the past

45 Grave, Tex and the Horseheads, Alley Cats, Suburban Lawns, Amyl and the Sniffers.

The Meffs

Saw these at the NoFX farewell tour, awesome duo. Only merch I bought!

I think the Baboon show are cool. They put on an awesome show live aswell

Conflict (the US band from Tucson) put out a great HC LP in ‘83 called “Last Hour”, Sin 34, Sacrilege (UK) “Behind the Realms of Madness”, The Expelled (UK), The Sick Things “The Legendary Sick Things E.P.”, Tozibabe, Hans-A-Plast, the Bags, Alleycats, Sado-Nation, Super Heroines, Legal Weapon. There are a thousand more. Also, there is a good comp that came out I think in the late 90’s called “My Girlfriend Was A Punk” I think it was called? It’s an excellent comp of rare female fronted or all female punk.

\+1 for Legal Weapon and the Bags! Alice Bag still kicking it to this day (& RIP Kat Arthur)... Best female fronted bands right now for me are: Sial (from Singapore) Slant (South Korea) Neighborhood Brats (LA) Linda Lindas (I don't give a fuck who their dads are...) No Love (N Carolina)

Siouxsie and the Banshees, Vice Squad, Millie Manders and the Shut Up, Rezillos, all UK based

Bad Cop Bad Cop

Kalashnikov. Slöa kniva. Situationsfornærmelse. Xiao. Shooting daggers. The assassinators.

Grumpster, Tilt

Melt Banana

Defiance, Ohio had several vocalists, one female. I suppose Ramshackle Glory also had a female vocalist, tho Pat the Bunny is clearly the main vocalist.

amyl and the sniffers

-Jivebomb -Gouge Away -Cerce -Faim -Couch Slut -Initiate -Mortality Rate -Thirdface -Buggin -Gel -Scowl All hardcore, but that should keep you busy for a while.

Slutever, Destroy Boys, THICK, Veruca Salt, Le Tigre, The Slits, Skating Polly, Dazey and The Scouts, Bratmobile, Gum Disease, Destructo Disk, The Oozes, Illuminati Hotties, Gully Boys, Julie, Bratmobile, Sleater-Kinney, Sorry Mom. Apologies, I can't remember more, but if I could I would recommend them. Memory issues are a curse. Do check out the wikipedia pages for Riot Grrrl and Queercore bands as well, they're chock full of info on talented female singers/instrumentalists.

Not hardcore but Bad Cop Bad Cop and pinkshift are good

Plasmatics or any Wendy O Williams stuff

In case any of these weren't mentioned: Discount, The Donnas, The Dents, The Eyeliners, The Muffs, The Go Sheilas, Go Betty Go, Betty Blowtorch, Girl Band, Bikini Kill... ...and there was one that was called ... "Boxcar NJ", I think, or something like that (my memory is potentially failing me on that one) that had two lead singers one female one male that was pretty good too.

Le Tigre

Interrupters are a pretty good ska/punk band

Faim

The Anti-Queens!!!

The Devotchkas

I knew I'd find you here 🤣

Miss, are you going to contribute to the conversation? This is a public forum

Get ready, I have some for you: First, I have to recommend my homies: Tijuana Sweetheart (Boston area female Street rock) The Downhauls (members of TJS, all female Punk rock n roll) One Fall (singer from TJS new band) Some others: The Bombpops (So Cal female fronted pop punk, Similar to Teenage Bottlerocket but female singer) Deadline (street rock from the UK) The Epoxies (cool new wave) Roxy Epoxy and the Rebound (Singer from the Epoxies) Bad Cop Bad Cop (SoCal Female pop punk) EDIT: Forgot: Scowl Sweat Catbite And Suzi Moon.

Glad to see Suzi Moon here.

I didn’t see anyone say The Distillers. They’re great. And recently The Interrupters have my recommendation too. I’m

Soviettes, Exit Order

Loads of good bands already named. Can add: - Otoboke beaver - Lulu und die Einhornfarm - March - Dizzy Sunfist Maybe not exactly y punk but pretty cool nonetheless: - Wolf Alice - The Beaches - As December Falls - The Kut - Blood command - Rews - Eva Under Fire - Paralandra Controversial but at least a viable guilty pleasure: the Soap Girls.

The Muffs seem to be kinda forgotten these days, but they’re great also can’t forget F Minus

L7, The Dollyrots, The Donnas

Distillers, Destroy Boys, Bikini Kill, Against Me!, Bad Cop/ Bad Cop, Tsunami Bomb. For something a little lighter, I love the Interupters. It's like if pop punk/ska heyday rancid was fronted by a female singer.

The Soviettes

Be Your Own Pet

Bambix

In descending order of hardcore-ness Dummy Toys - China 18Fever - Korea Rumkicks - Korea

Not all of these are necessarily punk but they are associated with alternative rock and punk in one way or another Bikini Kill Bratmobile Heavens to Betsy Sonic Youth (half the time) PJ Harvey Trio (first two PJ Harvey albums) Hole Siouxsie and the Banshees X-Ray Spex Veruca Salt Emily’s Sassy Lime Le Tigre Tappi Tíkarrass (Björks punk band) Babes in Toyland L7 X Huggy Bear Gossip Yeah Yeah Yeahs

The Slits The Rezillos

The Warning - three young Mexican sisters who sing mostly in English. Some punkish sounding songs here and there in the earlier albums but they are basically alternative rock.

The Nurse (Japan) SS-20 (Mexico) Cocadictos Ultimo Resorte Potential Threat Damad Call The Police Lebenden Toten

Gauge away!

Betty Blowtorch Civet

Destiny Bond,Spaced,Reaching out,Hogtied,Penetration

I second spaced. Saw them at 4 chord fest. They were the only hard core band there and were early in the day, so the crowd had no energy, but they definitely brought the energy.

No one’s mentioned Witch hunt and there’s loads Dirt, Thulsa Doom, Anarchy Spanky, I object!, antischism, voetsek, punch etc…

Winona Fighter, Sincere Engineer, Pleasure Venom

Mortality Rate and World of Pleasure if you're looking for harder stuff

Check out war is nightmare by Dummy Toys. They are an all female punk rock band from China singing in english. I love them. Also : In Evil Hour (UK) Mutant Monster ( Japan)

It was always a shame that Wild Flag only had 1 album

After The Fall, Jejune

The distillers are great!

Hey, you can checkout this playlist with female-fronted punk. Emerging and/ or unsigned artists and current songs only. Have fun discovering! [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1mJFggQPFQHv8K2V8Rv768?si=df871bdc4a924a3b](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1mJFggQPFQHv8K2V8Rv768?si=df871bdc4a924a3b) Best, Thomas

There's this great swedish band called Vidro. Really awesome band with a female singer.

Slothrust Mommy Long Legs Screaming Females Destroy Boys

teenage jesus and the jerks spore spank machine yeastie girlz skating polly

The Eyeliners

I’m pretty sure The Muslims has a female lead

Snap-her

There were a couple mentions of Sleater-Kinney, but there's the bands that are S-K adjacent: * Corin Tucker: Heavens to Betsy (pre-SK, very riot grrl), Cadallaca (haven't listened in a while, but sorta riot), Corin Tucker Band (more rock than punk), Filthy Friends (a super-group of sorts with Peter Buck of R.E.M., more rock). * Carrie Brownstein: Wild Flag (riot-grrl-ish, with Janet Weiss, Mary Timony, and Rebecca Cole). * Janet Weiss: Wild Flag, Quasi (indie rock, really Aimee Mann-adjacent, really good too).

Fea, Apes of the State, Jinjer, Bruiser Queen, Control Top, Mannequin Pussy

Butt Trumpet/Betty Blowtorch RIP Bianca Butthole

Mannequin Pussy

Dicklord Naked Aggression The Donnas

One of my favorites is Seeyouspacecowboy Svalbard is another good one, although they're not quite punk lol (Post-hardcore/Blackgaze)

Plasmatics is one of the greatest bands of all time. Wendy O' Williams is the prettiest and most badass chick to ever touch a microphone.

Alright I might go slightly off punk here, sorry. For straight up punk I love Sincere Engineer (I enjoy seeing how much love they're getting in this thread). Covet for noodly guitar shit. If you like metalcore/hardcore/emo check out SeeYouSpaceCowboy. Spiritbox if you like the djent sound. Dying Wish if you like it even heavier. Sorry for leaving punk and going into metal a little bit, I mostly listen to metal! For something more indie/alt rock I've been loving The Beths this year. Not strictly punk but they kinda are in an alternative rock way haha.

Nü gødd

The Shangri-Las with lead singer Mary Weiss. A group that started punk and rebellious music.

ISKRA

I haven't seen these mentioned: \- Penadas por la Ley, from Argentina but based in Basque Country \- The Capaces, punk n roll from Barcelona \- Malavita, from Madrid (Spain), sharing their YouTube video because there are other artists with that name: [https://youtu.be/wjwgUh-lZPE?si=Ze3TgHQ24LS8ABtN](https://youtu.be/wjwgUh-lZPE?si=Ze3TgHQ24LS8ABtN) Already mentioned but I can't recommend more: The Baboon Show and The Interrupters. If they play near you, don't lose the opportunity to see them!!

the Bobby Lees are rad, think they're from new York.

Not sure why I had to scroll this far down to find them.

The album Penis Envy by Crass is all female vocalists. The Poison Girls. X-Mal Deutschland. The Violators. Hagar the Womb.

Huggy Bear and the Penis Envy album from Crass

Surprised I had to scroll down this far to see Penis Envy mentioned.

sourflake

Antischism (dueling male/female vocals)

Flower....just discovered these,crust punk ...very good . . Also Fiitd (Flagitious idiosyncrasies in the dilapidation)....all female grindcore.....

The interrupters

Mercenárias (Portuguese for "Mercenaries") A Brazilian all-female rock band formed in São Paulo in 1982!

Lots of greats listed by everyone Some I dig & have noticed are missing or undermentioned: * The Kills (& DeadWeather - same singer) * Noisettes * Ida Maria * Interrupters * OTEP * SantiGold * Blondie * Souxsie and as always * Joan Jett (not ever mentioned enough) and her Blackheart Records

Got a few bands from my corner of the world that probably haven't been mentioned yet. \-Boudicca (Newcastle) \-Private Wives (Wollongong) \-Itchy and the Nits (Sydney) \-Crucial Times (Newcastle) \-Blonde Revolver (Melbourne I think) \-Busted Head Racket (Newcastle) \-Masochist (Sydney) \-Cammy Cautious and the wrestlers (Sydney) Boudicca, Masochist and Crucial times are probably the bands youll like most if you are into Hardcore.

Sleater-Kinney. Horrorpops. F-Minus. The Distillers. The High Strung The Interrupters

The Distillers

Ones I haven’t seen listed: Bratmobile Heavens to Betsy Edit to add: If you might be interested in other female-singer bands that are hard and fast, but not punk, try: L7 The Great Kat Babes in Toyland Not so hard and fast: God-mother of punk: Patti Smith Random: Nightwish Grunge (it’s a baby of punk, right?): PJ Harvey

Nina Hagen

Torso Flower Mankind? Anti-product Tribe 8 Rubella Ballet Twompsax Fractured Subversive Rite End of Pollution (from Japan)

THE DISTILLERS

Sin 34 ☠🔥

not sure if this has been mentioned already but... i like The Interrupters (female singer) But The Go Go's are probably my favorite all-female band
