To mark the 40th anniversary of Strawberry Switchblade's single Let Her Go, every day this week we'll be posting content to do with the song. Here's the full-page ad placed in the UK music press - 'from the girls that know'.

Female metal bands.
We're always on the lookout for them, and fortunately there are quite a few especially in Japan.
Here a first overview, I will gradually write separate pages about some of them.
If you have any tips - let me know :)
(edit: forgot an e in "female")
Metal-Frauenbands.
Sind wir immer auf der Suche nach und da gibt es grad in Japan erfreulich viele.
Eine erste Übersicht, ich werd nach und nach zu einigen eigene Seiten schreiben.
Wenn Ihr noch Tips habt - her damit :)
