I'm looking for CD's or Tapes by any (if there ARE any) Christian female
hardcore or punk rock bands. Female vocalist, the rest of the band could
be guys or girls, it doesn't matter. It's for my sister as a birthday or
christmas present. By christian I don't mean "praise the lord" every
other line in a song. Christian along the lines of MxPx or (a band that I
consider christian) Social Distortion. If you know of any bands like this
(or are in one) e-mail me or post on rec.music.christian.

this, of course, is a tangent. and i don't want to sound as if i'm
nit-picking, rather i feel as though you'd be interested...

but mike ness (of social distortion) is a self-proclaimed "non-Christian."
their newest album has a lot of spiritual songs, but mike (the writer)
says he's into "spirituality" and not any religion in particular. whether
that's new age, mormonism, catholic, holy laughter, or what--i don't know.
when i asked dennis danell (guitarist) if mike had become a Christian, he
gave a surprised laugh, saying "that's even better than the rumor that he
has AIDS!"

now, as for MxPx..... hmmm... =)

to your original inquiry, i don't know of any Christian punk bands with
female singers (i suppose you mean in the vein of Tilt or even The Muffs).
but then again, i haven't been looking.

How about Ordained Fate? They remind me of a hard
Lita Ford type band.

Offhand, I'd recommend (if you can find them) music by "The Lead". They
were a late-80s thrash band. "The Past Behind" was great. "Burn This
Record" wasn't bad.

Thanks. I found a page on The Lead, they look like exactly what i'm
looking for (christian, punk, underground, female vocals. It's all
there!).

Thanks again,

the lead were great, _the past behind_ being one of the best hardcore
christian records. but only a half of the songs are sung by nina.
also try out the clergy. they're kind of a punk version of the
throwing muses, imho (for some reason the vocals sound simlar to
kristen hersh to me)

Spesial Guest is definitely Christian, and that girl rocks too.
