Okay, a kind of trite thing I tend to do International Women's Day is post a little thread of women - including trans women - who are making music that I like, mostly punk or metallic hardcore. My point is to dispel the bro-dudes out there who think women make weak music. Ridiculous. It gets pretty heavy, so I'll let you all dip your toes in with #RVIVR a great melodic punk band with two women Erica Freas and Mattie Jo Canino /1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wnS92b5uyU

2/8 Karino Utomo may have the best metallic hardcore voice I've ever heard and her lyrics on their last album are both political and haunting. https://youtu.be/LMeo0e48vyU
High Tension - Ghost to Ghost

3/8 Reba from Code Orange is an awesome guitarist in extreme music. https://youtu.be/SpVa-x7YndY
CODE ORANGE KIDS - Flowermouth (The Leech)

4/8 Gina Gleason from #Baroness is also an amazing metal guitarist, I enjoy this hilarious #Danzig cover best, though. https://youtu.be/DzsR5fxWkho

5/8 #Sharptooth is not messing around with this one. Relevant lyrics in the video description. Sad that Lauren left the band recently. https://youtu.be/ZzQeE8hWQGc

6/8 #LaughingHyenas were an incredibly influential post-punk band. RIP Larissa Strickland, who had an amazing guitar style. https://youtu.be/EZkZ_NPawvE

7/8 #PunchCrew Punch were truly the best of more recent straight edge bands in my view. This track is relevant and on fire. https://punchcrew.bandcamp.com/track/worth-more-than-your-opinion

8/8 I've mentioned #Ballista before. I really like their style and admire the bravery of their singer River. Not easy being a trans woman in this genre. Especially when your band is from Texas. https://youtu.be/RsiNZ__6yHs
