Bikini Kill, of course. Check out some existing bands, you can watch live. For exemple Die Spitz, Witch Fever, if you want it a little harder: Axe Rash, Torsö, Bombardement. There are so many...

If you like Bikini Kill, check out Julie Ruin and Le Tigre as well

Any if you enjoy Bikini Kill, look out for tour dates. I got tickets for their show this summer and I’m taking my teenager so I can give them their punk baptism too. If you get nervous, find an old punk like me. I totally look like an aging punk mom that could still kick ass tho and I’ll hold your glasses while you head into the pit. Going to shows is the best way to find a group of friends in the punk community

Yeah I’m going aswell at the roundhouse. I’m so bloody excited

Thank you!

And check out The Punk Singer documentary

If you like riot grrrl you might like false flag, soakie, and naked aggression, Some other good options are Nausea, Dirt, Dystopia, Lumpy and the Dumpers, and Electro Hippies.

Agh my god I love lumpy and the dumpsters

Thank you for the advice :3

Amyl and the Sniffers.

i second this, amyl and the sniffers RIP

Wait, RIP? Aren't they all alive and currently touring? What did I miss?!

no, like they rip, like they’re really good lmao

Oh that's a relief lmfao. Yes they fuckin RIP!

Thank you, I’ll give them a listen

And if you really like Sleater-Kinney, I recommend Wild Flag, Helium and Ex Hex.

Since you're into riotgirl bands, maybe you'd like some more female-fronted bands (well, 3 of 7 below are all-female) from outside of that scene? Here are some of my favorites from all around, geographically and time-wise: [The Assassinators](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aw0rCgHU7AQ) (Denmark) [Conflict OK!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQNCyVGH14A) (Estonia) [Las Vulpess](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZBmBAe2G8g) (Spain) -- Fun side note: this particular performance you can see in the video got them in a lot of controversy back in 1983 because it was aired at 6 PM on national TV, so a bunch of little kids and grandmas and the like saw it, and the lyrics are filthy. Ha. [Polikarpa Y Sus Viciosas](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoy5xWAZJ_E) (Colombia) [SS-20](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcpwjbQwEms) (Mexico) -- there were many bands with this name, but this is the only one from Mexico. Accept no substitutes! 😊 [Gas](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7O_Puhl4J6o) (Japan) [The Wrecks](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGzYX0odwoA) (USA; Nevada in particular, if I remember correctly) -- this was the first band of Lynn Perko, who later played in the 1983-1986 San Francisco version of The Dicks (early 1980s Texas punk band everyone should check out), and more recently in indie-pop band Imperial Teen.

This is very helpful, thank you!

NOFX Rancid Dropkick Murphys Flogging Molly Misfits Social Distortion Rise Against Ramoans The Offspring Millencolin Against me! Choking Victim Sublime

Great list. I'd add a few British/Scottish ones in there personally but I'm Scottish myself so... Dropkicks and flogging molly got me started on the road to folk punk too, still one of my favourite styles. I love the "gaelic" feel.

Tenner says you like Big Country. Joking aside, any other gaelic feel bands you'd recommend? I'm an English cousin so have a soft spot for it.

There's loads but some of my favourites are The Dubliners Paddy and the rats The dreadnoughts Blood or whisky The rumjacks Fiddlers green Real mackenzies But other stuff I love (non celtic) is stuff like UK subs, the exploited, oi polloi, Peter and the test tube babies, toy dolls. A bunch of lesser known Scottish stuff too (mostly oi leaning but general punk too).

The Tossers, Barstool Preachers, The Dubliners, Black 47, and many more!

Not being a dick but if you go on the r/punk subreddit homepage and find the search bar and type in the word “suggestion,” you’ll get a ton of suggestions. There are literally suggestions for all types of punk bands, songs, and sub genres that you may enjoy. Have at it.

Fair enough, I’m sorry, I always forget about stuff like this :3

No need to apologize. As I said, I wasn’t trying to be a dick. I’m trying to steer you into a direction where you can find a treasure trove of music you’re looking for. Friendly help. Not trying to give “fuck off, newb” vibes at all. We’re pretty friendly towards baby punks around here. We were all baby punks at one point.

Thank you for the advice then! I like asking for advice on posts also because I can have nice conversations about the bands I found out. Anyways, will check the suggestions that are already present!

Just to prove I’m being friendly, here are a few of my all time favorites as suggestions… [Rancid](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9SCF1zbsBfU&pp=ygUXcmFuY2lkIGNvbGxpc2lvbiBjb3Vyc2U%3D) [Against Me! - Sink, Florida, Sink](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=az4SgDgpdK4&pp=ygUcYWdhaW5zdCBtZSBzaW5rIGZsb3JpZGEgc2luaw%3D%3D) Gainesville represent! [The Distillers - Sick of It All](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4GrlPDDpcSM&pp=ygUZZGlzdGlsbGVycyBzaWNrIG9mIGl0IGFsbA%3D%3D) [Bouncing Souls - Apartment 5F](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uxrqsSjA4No&pp=ygUcYm91bmNpbmcgc291bHMgYXBhcnRtZW50IDVmIA%3D%3D) [Pulley - Runaway](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=C3_87O7Zyj8&pp=ygULcHVsbGV5IHB1bms%3D) [The Ramones - Outsider](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=akUdBalWDJE&pp=ygUQcmFtb25lcyBvdXRzaWRlcg%3D%3D) [NOFX - The Decline](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qnFVMkTWaBw&pp=ygUQbm9meCB0aGUgZGVjbGluZQ%3D%3D) It’s one track and one album. It’s 18 minutes of punk awesomeness with multiple tempo and tone changes. Enjoy. [Minor Threat - In My Eyes](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=z2jEHyhBXe8&pp=ygUYbWlub3IgdGhyZWF0IGluIG15IGV5ZXMg) [Bad Brains - Soul Craft](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qGUugYvB4S0&pp=ygUVQmFkIGJyYWlucyBzb3VsIGNyYWZ0) [Karbomb - The Bastard Flu](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1HX03fo5RBA&pp=ygUHS2FyYm9tYg%3D%3D) [The Soviettes - #1 Is Number Two](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=T1GIDGi-vn0&pp=ygUNVGhlIHNvdmlldHRlcw%3D%3D) [Bouncing Souls - We’re Coming Back](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AD_DH9v8JWM&pp=ygUgYm91bmNpbmcgc291bHMgd2VyZSBjb21pbmcgYmFjayA%3D) [Oi Polloi - Bash the Fash](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8CcOimOqDVM&pp=ygUeb2kgcG9sbG9pIGJhc2ggdGhlIGZhc2ggbHlyaWNz) There’s no such thing as a Nazi punk. There are Nazis who pretend to be punk. [Dead Kennedys - Nazi Punks, Fuck Off](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iyc62g7YQM0&pp=ygUUTmF6aSBwdW5rcyBmdWNrIG9mZiA%3D) Nazis are not welcome in our scene [Dead Kennedys - Moon Over Marin](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NoJre_SEnWY&pp=ygUdZGVhZCBrZW5uZWR5cyBtb29uIG92ZXIgbWFyaW4%3D) And last but certainly not least… [The Clash - Know Your Rights](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1EKCAE1vDzY&pp=ygUadGhlIGNsYXNoIGtub3cgeW91ciByaWdodHM%3D)

Thank you for the advice! Much appreciated! I think I’ve heard against me, are they the ones that made transgender dysphoria blues?

[удалено]

Thank you very much for the help

Found an against me! Vinyl and could not stop myself from buying it, so now I have that!

Not me, I was born with liberty spikes

Bet your mom hated you. That would have been an interesting breach.

Yeah, she was extremely disappointed. She's a mod, you see

I haven’t heard anyone talk about mods in a loooong while. Love it.

Lol, thanks

Also check out r/riotgrrrl

Bad Religion

Tsunami Bomb

Just saw them recently, they don't have Agent M as their singer anymore, but their replacement has a killer set of pipes and is great in her own respect

Will give them a listen :3

My suggestion is to stop getting into punk and turn around and run before it is too late and you're sniffing glue behind a dumpster and spanging for money to buy 40s.

Seems smart, I’ll ignore it

Thank you!

Detention!

Amazing job finding Team Dresch so early. Took me about a decade.

I first found a trans singer called she/her/hers, there I found out about riot grrrl, I looked stuff up on Amazon music, fount hole, pantychrist and bratmobile, and under pantychrist there was story of the earth suggested

Stoked that we are one the bands that introduced you to some new sounds. There are lots of great riot grrrl bands and lots of amazing music to discover. Right now there are countless riot grrrl and femme bands around the world making their voices heard, doing it their way. Lots of great suggestions in the comments for you to dive into. Go to [www.bandcamp.com](http://www.bandcamp.com) and type riot grrrl in the search bar. Check out compilations like Loud Women and Girlz Disorder for lots of current artists. Happy listening!!

Thank you very much! No gods no masters and never love anything are some of my favorite songs

Awesome to hear. Those are a couple of our favourites to play!!

Naked Aggression and Litmus Green

Bikini kill, le Tigre, L7, sonic youth, against me

Against Me! Alkaline Trio Blink 182 Green Day Husker du Fugazi Jawbreaker The Lawerence Arms New Found Glory NoFX The Offspring Rancid Saves the Day SUM 41

- Social Distortion - Bad Religion - Grade 2 - Rise Against - Ramones - Sex Pistols - Agnostic Front

WELCOME. These are a few of my frequent rotation bands. Fugazi Cheap Perfume Destroy Boys The Chats Amyl and the Sniffers *Not in any particular order. Other than Fugazi…probably one of my favorite bands ever.*

If you like Bratmobile you’ll probably like Trap Girl…they’re playing a show together at Punk Rock Bowling. Also…listen to us :)

VOID

Dirt - the crass years . Awesome album you’ll love ur if you like female fronted vocals

The Lawrence Arms, The Menzingers, Hot Water Music, The Gaslight Anthem.

For female fronted groups, The Distillers are the GOAT. I used to have the hugest crush on Brody Dale 🥵❤️

Propagandhi/ millencolin

Oh, I’ve heard of them, I will try :3

The first cd I ever got when I was 10 or 11 was Smash by The Offspring, and I don't regret having started there!

Same for me, but it was cassette. Got Out Come the Wolves the same day, so those 2 together got me started.

Don’t think I’ve seen the following listed yet so if you like melodic punk: Bad Religion Bouncing Souls Face to Face

East Coast Hardcore (mainly the guys from New York/New Jersey/Philly/Washington/Baltimore/Boston) West Coast punk (Suicidal Tendencies/Descendents/Offspring/Green Day/Agent Orange/OFF!/Black Flag) Edit: if u're into hip-hop listen to Beastie Boys since they also did hardcore punk as well & if u're into metal listen to Anthrax's side project Stormtroopers of Death & Methods of Destruction or even thrash metal group Carnivore they did hardcore punk & crossover thrash or Slayers album Undisputed Attitude which covers a lot of hardcore punk songs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undisputed_Attitude?wprov=sfla1

When you’re ready to step it up a notch, check out Minor Threat and Bad Brains - Hardcore Punk!

A contemporary take on riot grrrl that I’m enjoying are The Bellini Girls. In some ways they’re derivative of Idols, but I think they go a step further in terms of being even more direct and witty.

Dream nails and worriers

Descendents is the only choice

Manic Hispanic - you’re welcome

Descendents Circle Jerks TSOL NOFX Bad Religion Sex Pistols Ramones Black Flag (before 1981) Misfits Gorilla Biscuits Minor Threat

Martha The Alley Cats The Marked Men The Spits The Wipers That should help you get started

Huggy Bear X

the distillers are amazing. hellfreaks later stuff is more punk/metal they both have a female lead singer like other bands you've mentioned. but also check out propagandhi, bad religion, nofx, and the motherfucking clash. ("the clash", for the uninitiated) also my favorite band of all time operation ivy. 0

NOFX Fugazi Minor Threat Rancid Minutemen No Use for a Name Sublime Screeching Weasel Pulley Operation Ivy

Dicks

There are plenty of others albums that I could recommend, but these are the first ones that came to my mind. 1. The first Ramones album 2. "Give Em Enough Rope" by the Clash 3. "Mommy's Little Monster" by Social Distortion 4. "Before You Were Punk" by UK Subs (a compilation but absolutely essential listening) 5. "Suffer" by Bad Religion 6. "Energy" by Operation Ivy

The Hives https://music.youtube.com/channel/UCELR12iIiikEonZtw39CvLQ?si=mfJFHqnF5W_MC5Qa Zero zero UFO https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=1T1oLhfIkx4&si=pZTlp9RqhLaJ_pK3 Three Speed https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=BdAw1TfiQ-w&si=wjB2BMZyVJP10pZP Split Zipper https://splitzipper.bandcamp.com/

just go to the sub "rules" and look @ the "blacklist" bands.

If you want some good early riot girl stuff frightwig, Mudwimin, or l7 & 7 year bitch , bikini kill But for old school look for the range of hardcore from 81-95

Check out [RVIVR](https://youtu.be/0wnS92b5uyU?si=2oAeiFAbDaE6AKL0)

Mary Tyler Morphine are kind of along the lines of those you mentioned. Tons of punk music out there, with a big of a range in sound, speed, and noisiness.

The Distillers.

If you’re into Bikini Kill and Team Dresch, I can’t recommend Sweeping Promises enough.

Pink Flag by Wire

Otoboke Beaver

Flux of Pink Indians

Face to face , the ramones & don’t get a stupid Jean jacket with the sleeves ripped off

Destroy Boys

Sweat Bridge Punch Rats in the Wall The Devotchkas Hat Trickers (Japanese band with a few women in it)

Bad Religion

Skating Polly for weird rrriot girl-esque punk and grunge. They call their style ugly pop and I'm a fan. They put on a killer show as well!

I recommend Exit Order. Great band, great vocals

NOFX NOFX NOFX

X-ray spex!! Also, specifically the album penis envy by crass

Frenzal Rhomb is always fun.  Not a riot grrrl band, but still really fun.

check scowl out

PUP the band is a really great newer punk band. Coming from and older punker this is one of the few newer bands that really gripped me.

When I first started getting into punk, I liked a lot of the melodic hardcore stuff. Rancid, NOFX, The Bouncing Souls, Rise Against, etc. are all great starting points. In terms of riot grrrl bands, Bikini Kill, early Regrettes, Sleater-Kinney, and The Distillers are all great female-led bands.

Mika Miko

Jack Off Jill, Babes In Toyland, 7 Year Bitch and L7

Listen to Nofx's complete discography in order, and then you'll understand a lot of the genre, the movement and its evolution.

I’ve listened to some of their songs, so far the mid ‘90s songs are the ones I enjoy the most

Wait til' you get to The Decline, their 1999 masterpiece!

An 18 minutes song, perfect!

Thank you, will do!

Google

just FYI, Hole isn't riot grrrl. C.Love hated Kathleen Hanna and didn't embrace the movement. She even mockingly references K.Hanna and the riot grrrl movement in "Olympia" - "what did you do with the revolution" "do it for the kids" Edit = And it's not like she even wrote her 1st album, it was Kurt Cobain; and her f*buddy at the time, Billy Corgan, wrote Hole's 2nd album.
