Bryde (aka Sarah Howells) has a few EPs out at present and working on first solo album. I think she deserves a more exposure as she is a clever songsmith and captivating live.

So to those who mentioned Arch Enemy; what’s your opinion on Angela vs Alissa?

Alissa has got such a beautiful clean voice, which is never used in Arch Enemy, which seems a shame.

OK, I’m going old and rioty

Still wear my Babes In Toyland teeshirt! Saw them at the Fleece in Bristol, and also Katastrophy Wife, Kat Bjelland’s other band, which was, to put it bluntly, a catastrophe! She was just embarrassingly bad, me and my mate left and went to the Seven Stars pub next door.
Good call on Bryde, I’ve seen Sarah with Paper Aeroplanes a number of times, and several times as Bryde, she’s a great songwriter and singer, and the album should be very interesting.
She’s a really lovely person, too, got a big hug when I saw her play Greenman last year. She’s touring soon, must get tickets organised…

Not going to be everyone’s cup of tea on here, but Burning Flag are playing the Common Ground Benefit in Manchester next Saturday…

See you there…

How could I have forgotten Melissa Auf der Maur!

Previously Hole’s bass guitarist.

I’ll just throw this one out there, I really rather like the band, and I’m particular fond of this cover they did:

So to those who mentioned Arch Enemy; what’s your opinion on Angela vs Alissa?

Angela. No real interest in the band, but her voice was fairly remarkable singing with them. Speaking of remarkable voices in otherwise fairly dull bands:

Best avoid Doctor Browns in ‘boro if you want to see any of these bands…

Middlesbrough pub bans female-fronted bands as they “can’t sing rock”

Very late to the party, glad the Bellrays have been mentioned, how about

Dixie Chicks. Raunchy C&W band.

The Drink – Microsleep

[video]https://youtu.be/K58lIt7O8qc[/video]
The Like

Their lineup had various members who have parents in the music business, the drummer, Tennessee Thomas, is the daughter of Pete Thomas, long-time drummer with Elvis Costello.
Super band live, saw them a couple of times, but they sort of fell apart when their bassist suddenly left and formed her own band. Shame, the made a couple of fine albums.
The Drink are superb, Dearbhla Minogue the singer/guitarist is bloody good, she plays exceedingly well.

This is a great thread. I’m finding some new stuff here and it’s great to listen to other people’s music taste.
I’ve just found a band called Lovebites. All female band from Japan. Great guitar work.
Hopefully I’ve added the video correctly.

Not sure if they’ve been mentioned yet, but I was recently put on to Starcrawler, and Deep Valley, which I’m enjoying.

Blood Red Shoes

Blonde Redhead
[video]https://youtu.be/a7FqUNlEdwA[/video]

Seen Blood Red Shoes a number of times, always great live, last two times I saw them was at The Trinity in Bristol, and each time they were supported by Slaves, who seem to be going on to greater things, which still seems to be denied to BRS.

Love Blonde Redhead, I know very little about them, but they make great music.

Not sure if they’ve been mentioned, but Hurray For The Riff Raff are stunningly good live, and they make good albums too; saw them at Greenman last year, and Alynda played a five song set in the Rough Trade tent afterwards, a force of nature on stage, really sweet and funny up close.

Tilt – Till It Kills

One of my favourites albums.

Give Thunderpussy a listen, not sure about the name but they definitely rock.

Starcrawler were on Jools Holland this week.

Watch again on iPlayer if you want to.

Starcrawler were on Jools Holland this week.

Indeed they were. Why can’t these youngsters do something original instead of churning out old Stooges/Dolls riffs? Very dull and disappointing.
