This post inspired by my very recent discovery of the band Broken Focus, a hardcore/metal band that has a transfem lead vocalist. Who might just be my new gender goals.

Against Me!

Underscores (I like their album U), then femtanyl

Kinda obsessed with their newest All The Time rn, but I like a bunch of her earlier stuff too

FOXCULT FOXCULT FOXCULT!!!

Idk if she is my favorite but damn i love jasmin.4.t, she just has this very chill and nice vibe to it and a beautiful beautiful voice!
Plus she definetly deserves more love aswell!

For transmasc: Dylan and the moon! He has a few songs that he rerecorded after his transition and mixed together to create a duet with himself!

Ok this is some good shit here.

Giving serious Rise Against/Trivium vibes

I love The Bedroom Witch. If Synthpop Darkwave is your thing I recommend you check it out.

Idk how I've never heard of this one before but it's giving early-2000's blink 182/the killers, 9/10 very solid!

I'm a fan of Owlbear. They're a power metal band with a transfem vocalist, and she also has a black metal solo act. I've been to a couple of shows with Owlbear in the lineup and they're even better live.

Cab Ride Home, another metal band with a trans vocalist, had a pretty good album and a couple of EPs, but went on hiatus since she's now a senator in Virginia.

It's giving me "song that plays during a breakup in an 80's movie" and like, that's not bad, but it's not something I normally seek out & listen to. 6/10.

Nomi Ruiz with Hercules and Love Affair

Boy Clothes is a great emo-ish band from Nashville. The bass player is fantastic and I wish I could remember the stage name she uses for her solo stuff. I'll add it if my brain decides to work.

Obligatory StomachBook, Femtanyl, and Changeline.

went on hiatus since she's now a senator in Virginia

Hell of a story arc there, wow!

This is definitely a "got to be in the mood for it" kinda sound, but I like it! Having a hard time trying to think of what it reminds me of. 8/10, solid pick.

I really like Wallsocket.

That underscores is like a good "driving somewhere late at night" type album. Very solid, 8/10.

Listening to owlbear right now, it's pretty solid. Giving me some Blind Guardian/Killswitch Engage Holy Diver type vibes. Very nice, 8.5/10

My daughter's classmate once gave her a list of musicians she liked and it was pretty much just a list of transfem Canadians. Neither of them are trans and I'm not out, so it was entirely coincidental.

And also sometimes goes hard - the outro to Elephant (especially live) and Did U No both blew me away. Had a good chat with her after a show about guitar tone, she highlighted Sunn O))) as an influence which is decidedly not chill haha

Not trans, but I'm a big fan of KFlay. For specifically trans I probably have to go with Steam Powered Giraffe, although she unfortunately left the band recently (amicably). Both are fantastic live

I saw Sarah and the Safe Word at a Bear Ghost concert and they were pretty fun, the lead singer is transfem and pretty sure all the other members identify as queer

Yeah I like that new K Flay song ants and of course Blood in the Cut is a classic

Ok this is giving "aurelio voltaire but like if he was a girl"

Solid pick, 8.5/10. If I was drunk or stoned, 9/10.

You had me at emo music lol. Solid 8/10 pick, if I was sad and/or high while listening then possibly even a 10/10.

Musithical are transfem+plural, discovered them recently and am now a huge fan. be warned, their lyrics are mostly not particularly subtle and can get rather dark

Reinventing Axl Rose 🎧

something which occurred to me while writing the above comment: what's an appropriate word for a plural system which makes music? "band" feels wrong (to me that word implies multiple instrumental/vocal tracks being performed all at once), but "artist" seems even worse (imo it carries a very strong singular connotation).

pinging @oftheair@lemmy.blahaj.zone

A project?

Transgender dysphoria blues is my favorite song.

Not my personal favorite but my wife really likes Rainbow Kitten Surprise. The lead singer came out as trans a few years back.

Lena Raine!

Hell yeah, minecraft soundtrack lady

from Boone, North Carolina

Automatic 10/10, lol

same, U is good too but the highlights on wallsocket are phenomenal.

Celeste and guild wars 2 were my first exposure to her and I've been in love ever since! The tracks she's done for Minecraft have been gorgeous though

glass beach - classic j dies and goes to hell part 1

Ada Rook - PARTY TIME SEXY DISORDER

Laura Jane Grace is my favorite artist I love Against Me! And her solo works. Saw her concerts a few times shes really good

Cheap Dirty Horse

A UK punk band

Highlights include "On the rob" and "I transed your dad"

Outcast stomp by G.L.O.S.S. is a favorite of mine

I’ll just leave this here cause it’s hilarious and very good.

Laura Jane Grace is a beautiful person. I love her music, both before and after she transitioned.

Favorite songs:

• Delicate, Petite & Other Things I'll Never Be
• We Laugh at Danger (and Break All the Rules)
• 333
• Fuckmylife666

Cam Girl!

Laura Jane Grace is a legend for her history in the punk community.

Edit - fav songs:
You look like I need a drink
I’m an anarchist
How Low

Sophie is incredible. She made one of my favorite albums of all time, Oil of Every Pearl's Un-Insides. Highly recommend for fans of experimental pop and club music.

Ezra Furman is my all-time fave! Her music is so beautiful and full of vivid, idiosyncratic imagery. If you havent heard of her elsewhere she did the soundtrack for Sex Education.

Definitely the artist I've most consistently loved. Been listening to her for like 12-13 years now. At first, at least one song confused me because it seemed like she was gendering herself as female, but she was stilling going by her deadname back then. In hindsight, it was obvious she had already tried to come out through songs before TDB released, but I hadn't paid much attention to the lyrics in the most explicit songs.

Walls of Jericho 🤘

Came here looking for this, I LOVE underscores.
Lena Raine is super cool too! Though different... At the same time I feel isolated in liking the Celeste OST much more than the Minecraft one.

Oh no Celeste is peak yeah

My favourites are resurrections and reach for the summit
