With all of the recent revelations in the entertainment industry, it seems as though conditions for female artists and fans are finally taking a turn for the better.

Horror story after horror story has shone a light on the misogyny, abuse, and sexual harassment women face on the daily. Read on to hear what three alt-scene rock queens had to say about the situation.

Linda Battilani, Halflives

“It’s important to talk about sexism because the more we do, the more it impacts things and eventually, the less we’ll have to talk about it. Women work as hard as men in this industry, and they shouldn’t have to prove something more just because they’re women.”

Becky Blomfield, Milk Teeth

“I have personally faced a number of incidences of sexism since being in Milk Teeth—some through gender-based misogyny, others through sexual harassment or inappropriate sexual conduct. To combat this, myself and the boys will always call it out when it happens. We don’t tolerate it as a band, and we don’t want it at any of our shows.”

Jess Branney, Peaness

“Does sexism exist in the music industry? Yes. Are we as people going in the right direction to reduce it? Yes. Does my personal taste and the music scenes I’m a fan of reflect my opinions of where we’re at with regards to this issue? Yes.”
