I'm a fan of Savages and PJ Harvey, but I've sort of gone off The Joy Formidable a little bit. There were a couple of tracks on their last album which I really enjoyed, but they just sound like they've shed their previous skin of making quirky little rock songs and replaced it with cement mixers full of reverb and Biffy-sized "stadium anthems".nijinsky's fetlocks said:Women and minority groups have always been under represented in rock music, but as others have alluded to that's hardly a surprise when the majority of record label bosses are white males, and the record-buying demographic has traditionally been white kids fed a diet of boybands and photogenic but talentless gimmicky dross.
That said, I've seen Courtney Barnett, Anna Calvi, PJ Harvey, Savages and The Joy Formidable this year, so there are some women breaking through the glass ceiling, albeit not near enough.
