If we’re talking bands consisting entirely of or fronted by women, these are my picks - including others previously mentioned because they’re awesome and if the emphasis helps you give them a go then all the better!
Vaguely in order of increasing “heaviosity”
The Breeders, Sleater-Kinney, Bikini Kill, L7, 7 Year Bitch, Babes In Toyland, Acid King, Windhand, (Neurosis &) Jarboe, Bonnie Mercer.
And on a more relaxed bent… Portishead, Bardo Pond, Bowery Electric, Blonde Redhead.
Sorry, the formatting went to shit
