All Girl Bands

She's Not Dead is a Wild and Rebellious All Girl Band from Portland Oregon! They may be girls and yes they're young, but they can kick ass on stage! They play a mix of alternative Rock, Hard rock, Pop with a touch of Punk. They don't sound like all the copy cat bands out there, because they have created a sound all our own! They have been writing some dynamic and interesting songs and selling their CD's on iTunes, CDbaby, Bandcamp and at their many live performances! Listen to their original songs from their new album Monsters In My Head like "Somebody Save Me" , "Waking Up" , "Feel Alive", "MONSTERS IN MY HEAD" , "Rock With Us" or "Crashing Down" and you will become an instant fan! Their songs have been played on local Portland radio stations, Seattle radio stations and many Internet radio stations! Their chilling music video for "Somebody Save Me" has been receiving a lot of attention on Youtube! It was made at the oldest cemetery in Portland and if you want to check it out, here's the link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdsqgJKgriU

Maybe it's because they sound like a '70s rock n' roll band, but the Donnas are one of the few modern day bands who have made albums that I've actually wanted to go back and listen to a second time. And a third. Which is saying more than it sounds.

A band so good that the number two band on this list paid tribute to them. Or else they were just afraid that Lita Ford and Joan Jett were going to kill them if they didn't. Hey, I've befriended people on FaceBook out of that fear, so I know the feeling. But the Runaways were once ahead of their time, as only young teenagers can be. They probably thought life was going to be easy when they started. Be a band, become famous and watch the money roll in. Joan Jett is one tough cookie and someone who knows it takes persistence, hard work and dedication beyond just telling people you love rock 'n' roll. You gotta live it. And she does, and for that this blog salutes you!

Usually it's American bands that go to Japan and build their client base. So in an act of true free trade, Japan sent us Shonen Knife, a punk rock trio that immediately made a huge impact at CBGBs and other big-name but marginal rock clubs, becoming not huge stars but a cult act like everyone we ship over to Japan.

These girls had a raw punk sound when they played their instruments, They make the message the medium and then turn everything into pure chaos. That was Bikini Kill. They scared lots of well-intentioned people and they inspired others to Riot!
