Female Vocals

[Benji]

Suggest me loads of decent bands with female vocalists. Doesn't matter the genre so long as it's not urban, chavvy girl vocals are horrid.

[IAceI]

The Tommys

before YI does ¬_¬

[Benji]

I've seen them live with (+44)

[IAceI]

Then you don't need to know about them >_<

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Female vocalist?

PJ Harvey. Clearly.

Or Portishead.

[Benji]

Start suggesting me people I haven't heard of ¬_¬

[Cadet Ember McLain]

Evanescence.

Clearly.

The Cardigans

FABS!!! - http://www.myspace.com/fabsonline

The singer is fucking banging......that's just about the only thing they have going for them...they sound like an awful Beach Boys cover band....but I quite like them.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Whooo Nina Persson of The Cardigans! Good call!

[Sick N Twisted]

Paramore

Flyleaf

Killing Heidi

Jack Off Jill

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

You could also check out the Sugarcubes - The group Bjork was lead singer for in the late 80s/early 90s.

[ROC]

They're more pop-punky and you've probably heard of them but Paramore probably fits into what you want here.

EDIT: Oh and CSS. And Rilo Kiley ( ).

And how did I not say it? I get near-aroused every time I hear Dntel's "Roll On" because of her. >_>

[VerbalPuke]

I'd say you could check out X, Even Worse, Alice Bag Band, The Avengers, Sin 34, Thee Headcoatees (the female equivalent of a Billy Childish band...thee Headcoats), X-Ray Spex, and that's about all I've got for now. It's all good shit either way.

[Momo]

Within Temptation and Full Blown Rose. The latter has broken up, but I think their site is still up with samples of all their songs.

[EndOfAnEra]

The Sounds, Shiny Toy Guns, SOME Jakalope, and Canadian greats Metric.
