NOTE: links to individual band webpages can be found on the individual band pages. Which can be found to your right, by the spine, see?

http://kzsu.stanford.edu
The radio station I work for, the host of this page, and the (indirect) cause of this project. I'm not doing a regular show these days, but I'm still around. Nobody ever really leaves KZSU....
I did a women in metal special in December 2000 as part of KZSU's annual metal marathon - here's a playlist.


RECORD SOURCES

http://www.gemm.com
The coolest thing you ever saw! Search engine interface to a few thousand independent record stores around the world. Here you can find lots of the bands on this page.

http://www.skylabcommerce.com
Music-only auction site - a good source for the more obscure hardcorey stuff you can't find on GEMM.


ZINES (PAPER AND PIXELS)

http://www.geocities.com/toocrass/
The Crass Menagerie - monthly email zine containing more metal, grind, hardcore and punk reviews and interviews than you can shake a stick at. The sort of stuff that makes you want to read it whether or not you care a fig about the record or band in question. CM is great, and free, and friendly, and they let us reprint their reviews - go see em already!

Guillotine - 314 79th St. #8E, Brooklyn NY, 11209 USA, GuillNYC@aol.com
NY zine w/an ongoing feature on women in hardcore (starting with issue #17). Good stuff if you can getcher hands on it - I haven't seen any issue past May 1999, but I think it's still around.... Wendy Eager, editor.

Bast - 334 Hyde St. #2, San Francisco CA, 94109, bastzine@att.net
"Covering the best in the extreme music underground and all things sick in life." If Martha Hughes (the editor of this zine) and I met each other on a bad day, we'd probably hate each other. Still, the zine is good stuff, and there's been an interview w/a band with a female member in every issue I've seen so far....


OTHER WOMEN-IN-METAL SITES

http://www.xsisterhoodx.com
That's right, women in hardcore and straightedge! Bout damn time.

http://metalgirls.free.fr/webring/index_e.php3
The Les Filles du Metal webring. Peep a random site, or the full list of sites, or join the ring.

http://grlbndzring.wzr.net
The Grrlbands Webring! A short but solid list of sites (which is much better than a huge unwieldy one, really) and lots more than just heavy music. Wanna join?

http://panx.net/punkgirl/punkgirl.html
Amazing photo archive of women in punk and metal. Check out Adrienne singing with Aus Rotten! Yeeeah.

http://www.angelfire.com/ny3/ENDEMONIADA/index.html
Endemoniada - a women-in-heavy-music webzine.

http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Stadium/5238/
Metal Maidens, "dedicated to all women in (Hard)Rock and (Heavy)Metal." They too have a list of every woman ever in a metal band (as well as some lovely Boris Vallejo art) but I think their definition of metal is different from mine.... Still quite worth a look.

http://metalgirls.free.fr/index_e.php3
"You are an Hard-Rock, atmospheric metal, progressive doom and beautiful voices fan and you want to know more about great women singer. Good news for you, you're at the good place!"

http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Palladium/7195/grrls/grrls.html
Another list of every woman in a metal band (again, defined a bit different...). Heavy on the atmospheric stuff, but whatever floats your boat, ja? Good info, and updated fairly often.

http://www.unm.edu/~rocks/women.htm
Not a women-in-metal site, exactly, but women in music in general, and there's some heavy bands on here (Birtha, Fanny, Girlschool) along with the Slits, Go-Go's and Bikini Kill. Pretty rad.

http://www.femaledrummer.com/
Female drummer news, featuring a list of the top 200 female drummers ever (click ye "Newsletter"), and Roz is promising the top 300 soon. By what criteria, I don't know, and there are some things I'd argue with here (Evelyn Glennie only #101? and where's the drummer from Stinking Lizaveta?) - but mostly I'm just in awe that somebody in this world can name 200 female drummers. Right fucking on.
