Poly Sytrene, X-Ray Spex
‘Some people say that little girls should be seen and not heard… I say – Oh Bondage! Up Yours!’
Eccentric, feminist punk from a woman who did everything it took to get her voice heard.
Courtney Love, Hole
Their four studio albums weren’t the best rock albums of all time but Courtney Love is charged with punk attitude and sexual energy.
Joan Jett, The Runaways
They did what The Beatles did for female rock ‘n’ roll. When Joan Jett was told girls couldn’t play guitar, she decided to become one of the biggest guitar icons of all time.
Dolores O’Riordan, The Cranberries
Dolores had a voice like no other and ‘Zombie’ remains one of the most poorly impersonated tracks of all time.
Pussy Riot
A Russian protest punk rock group with 11 female members and an unstoppable attitude.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
They’re edgy and will get you raging over that guy who didn’t say hi back in Chemistry class five years ago.
Siouxie and the Banshees
Goth, rock and beautifully imaginative vision. The Cure and The Smiths will both name Siouxie as one of their core influences.
