Music is a big part of our lives. We listen songs while we’re studying, working, on the bus… It is the only thing that is always there when we need and keep up with us in our day by day.
But have you ever wondered how many girls do you listen to? Or ever counted how many bands that have a female lead singer are on your playlist? I’m talking about women that don’t have the attention that they deserve, so even if they’re great, Ariana Grande, Anitta and other big female singer do not count here.
I bet that you couldn’t count more than 5 or 6 names, right? Because of that, I made a list, with ten all-female bands, of all genres. I’m sure you will find something you like; check it out:
- Honeyblood
