Tattoo'd Lady
Scentless Apprentice
I've been really digging a lot of today's female fronted bands, even moreso than the older bands. (with the exception of Heart and non-Peter Green Fleetwood Mac)
Some of those are:
Jaggery
I Heart Hiroshima
She & Him
Katie Noonan And The Captains
The Jezabels
Florence And The Machine
Camera Obscura
Angus & Julia Stone
Little Birdy
Mostly Autumn
ooo yeah! great group, they'd probably be my second choice
but my number one belongs to the Patti Smith Band
