It only seemed fitting to have Lemmy himself as the icon.

There's a lot of female fronted bands doing the sing/scream combo now, but there aren't many where the entire band is this solid. And, imo, none with the songwriting ability.
Tbh, most of the bands doing that seem like a gimmick rather than something that they really have passion for, and I think that's the thing that makes spirit box work.
Huh, curious what these look like.
The only female-singer bands I’m aware of are this, Jinjer, Arch Enemy, Nightwish and related Dutch bands (Epica etc) and that’s about it.
Arch Enemy are the only one that doesn’t work for me.
Butcher Babies, Infected Rain, Nemophila, Crypta.
That's just from the top of my head.
I hope you can enjoy some of it. :)
Edit: Grammar mistake
Cheers!
The other band that I can think of that has been around for a bit and is solid is Jinjer. They are more on the hardcore side but their lead singer Tati is very sweet and funny. And they have great music. The whole band is also very talented. Worth the listen!
