I think they’re the least well-known among the bands featured here.

I haven’t heard anything about their activities after they released one album in 2009.

They were a Brooklyn girl band that vanished in a flash like fireworks, but those fireworks burst beautifully.

By the way, at the time, all the members were high school girls.

Doesn’t the band name sound familiar? That’s right—it’s the title of a Shonen Knife song.

Giant Kitty is heavily influenced by Shonen Knife, which you can clearly hear in this track.

I Need You To Love MeBarlowGirl

A girls’ Christian rock band from Chicago, Illinois.

Consisting of the Barlow sisters—Alyssa, Rebecca, and Lauren—they deliver straightforward, distinctly American rock ballads with beautiful vocals.

It’s also interesting how they occasionally incorporate gospel elements.

Ninja Dolls is a pop-punk band from Sweden.

Many Europeans really like ninjas.

While there aren’t many ninja elements, they deliver a fast, fiery punk sound that guarantees moshing and stage diving, letting you experience an intense live show up close.

They are a female country music group that proudly boasts a career spanning over 30 years and represents the United States.

Formed in 1989, and after lineup changes, they have been an unshakable trio since 1995, working energetically.

Their music has a universal appeal that transcends the boundaries of country, and their timeless melodies are beloved by music fans around the world.

Unafraid to voice their political views, they became embroiled in controversy severe enough to nearly end their career, yet their convictions never wavered.

It’s no exaggeration to say they stand at the pinnacle of girl bands, continuing to fight against various injustices.
