A Guide to Female Western Music Bands: From Legendary Groups to Promising Newcomers (61–70)
Gimme BrainsBratmobile
A song included on the album “Ladies, Women and Girls,” released in 2000 by the American punk band Bratmobile after a six-year hiatus.
While it has the melody of a pop song, it stands as one of the band’s most powerful tracks.
Cowboy Take Me AwayDixie Chicks
They are a female country music group that proudly boasts a career spanning over 30 years and represents the United States.
Formed in 1989, and after lineup changes, they have been an unshakable trio since 1995, working energetically.
Their music has a universal appeal that transcends the boundaries of country, and their timeless melodies are beloved by music fans around the world.
Unafraid to voice their political views, they became embroiled in controversy severe enough to nearly end their career, yet their convictions never wavered.
It’s no exaggeration to say they stand at the pinnacle of girl bands, continuing to fight against various injustices.
Charity BallFANNY
FANNY was a legendary band that thrived in the early 1970s.
It’s no exaggeration to say they paved the way for the girl bands that followed.
They released five albums and then disbanded.
Since then, Fanny has rarely been talked about, but shouldn’t the sound so highly praised by David Bowie be reappraised?
EmmylouFirst Aid Kit
First Aid Kit is a Swedish folk duo formed in southern Stockholm by the sisters Johanna and Klara Söderberg.
This song is an homage to the sisters’ favorite country rock songwriters.
The music video was filmed in Joshua Tree National Park.
Joe CoolGirl Monstar
A girl monster that debuted in 1992, they’re a four-piece band from Australia.
They even released an album in the U.S., but got written off as “the Australian Bangles,” which did them no favors at all.
This track does have a Bangles-like vibe, but it also has that dry, distinctly Australian sound—it’s pretty good, isn’t it?
It Haunts You NowGo Betty Go
They were a California-based band that debuted in 2006.
Although they disbanded after releasing only one album, their sound—mixing the appeal of punk rock and hard rock—still feels fresh even today.
BanbooHinds
Hinds is a four-piece girl band from Madrid, Spain.
They’re known for their lo-fi, garage rock sound.
Though they look like a cute, contemporary girl group, contrary to that image their sound is pleasantly loose, making them a curious band you can listen to in a relaxed way.
