21 June saw the winners of the Kerrang Awards 2018 announced. We know that the rock and metal genre is quite male dominated, but only two of the winners were bands with a woman in the line up (Best British Breakthrough: Dream State and Best International Breakthrough: Code Orange).
Out of 40 nominees across eight categories, not one band had a full female line up and just seven bands had lines ups which included women.
In protest, here’s our Women who rock playlist.
Nova Twins
The Amorettes
Skinny Girl Diet
Vodun
The Twistettes
Liines
Didi
Rews
Pussy Liquor
Screech Bats
Girlschool
