Girls Are on The Rise

          We all remember the 80's bands with a woman as lead-vocal like Heart, and Pat Benatar, they've set the tone for aspiring girl rock musicians. Over the past 15 years there just hasn't been many other bands that can come close to compare. But there are a few now that are starting to hear some rumble about. I wanted to dedicate this post to all the girl musicians that know how to hang with the big boys!

HALESTORM

          Lead by front woman Lizzy Hale, Halestorm has only been around for a short period of time and they have already accomplished some incredible achievements. In 2013 Halestorm's single Love Bites (So do I) was nominated for the Grammy Best Hard Rock Metal/ Performance, they not only were nominated but THEY WON! The band has only been relevant since 2009 but are making huge strides. The best part is this is only the beginning for them, Halestorm hasn't even come close to hitting their peak yet. I'm AMPED for the release of their 3rd studio album "Into the Wild Life" on April 14th and they will hitting the road promoting this album next month and they are even performing in Kansas City, Missouri on May 30th at Liberty Memorial. Halestorm will blow you away!



THE PRETTY RECKLESS

         The Pretty Reckless is down same path Halestorm took to stardom. Fun Fact: the lead singer Taylor Momsen most of have seen her before. She is not only a musician but she was a child actor as well. Remember the move The Grinch Staring Jim Carrey? Taylor played Cindy Lou Who! Who would've ever guessed that Cindy Lou Who loved to melt faces with her music in her spare time. But more power to her, The Pretty Reckless are making a name for themselves quickly! They have only been together since 2010 and only 2 studio albums, the only way for this band to go is up. They created a huge buzz in the rock genre as a whole and continue to set themselves apart from the rest. They will be performing with Halestorm at Liberty Memorial, everybody should go check them out they are definitely worth the money!

  1. Although I'm not sure how I feel about the content of all their songs, I love the voices and overall sound of both lead women! Just a heads up, you have a typo: "lead my front women" should be lead "by", in the first part, and you may want to reword your fun fact.

  2. Atta way, women! Women of the rock world are in my opinion some of the most confident out there. It's hard to compete in the music world let alone a mostly male genre.

  3. Paramore was one of the bands I used to jam out to with some of my buddies, Senses Fail and Armor for Sleep are some sweet bands too but yes power to the women!

  4. I really like to see women gaining prominence in a genre with such a large female fanbase, it adds a breath of fresh air to the industry.
